Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Place your bets now: what will the West's excuses be when it loses?

My money is on "we gave the Ukrainians everything they wanted but their Slavic adherence to Soviet Doctrine caused them to lose"

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 31 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Extra funny because many times they engaged in NATO tactics, they ended up failing against Russian tactics.

"we're driving around in Humvees kicking in random doors just like we were trained by Superior Western Consultants, why do we keep getting blown up in ambushes?"

[–] Grapho@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 week ago

What do you mean this shit that barely worked against a dirt poor population without air support, a standing army or even basic services doesn't work against a real army and the resistance militias we keep converting to their cause?

It's definitely because of woke!

Claim they actually won because Russia didn’t nuke Kiev

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 18 points 1 week ago

And it took more than three days, a claim Russia didn't make (but one US General Milley did, along with apparently Lukashenko (who for the libs in the audience, is not Russian))

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 27 points 1 week ago

My bet they're gonna blame Iran.

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago

For the democrats: Trump

For the republicans: They wanted Russia to win

Throwing Zelenskyy under the bus would be the easy move. "Turns out he was a notorious embezzler and kept pushing for more war! Who knew?!"
