Please, we require bodies for our idiotic meatwave assault attempts.
But we're totally winning, and everything is fine.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Human waves have worked in every war that Russia has won.
Even with the low stockpiles and over a million casualties they are still making slow progress.

Did they also need to plead and beg for tens of thousands of foreigners to be voluntold to join the meat grinder?
Or is it the case that Putin has no fucking idea how to win this, or extricate himself without falling out a window?
Another victory like this and I’ll be undone.

Right on, we'll mark you down as an enthusiastic supporter of just throwing bodies into the meat grinder.
Maybe don't hang out with Russian military recruiters, as they'd have to kill you for scaring off the prospects.
Inb4 Trump starts human trafficking immigrants and Americans to fight for Russia.
Makes me wonder what Ukraine could do to force mobilization without increasing (maybe even decreasing) Russian public support for the war
That seems like the quickest way to end the war favorably for Ukraine
Which is going to work for a couple months until people realise you go there and are never heard of again... If they didn't already hear this from deserted mercenaries
Hopefully this comes to bite them in the ass and all they get are saboteurs hell bent on impeding the Russian war machine.
"allows"
No thank you.
