Ukraine
Rules:
-
No sympathy with the enemy or its collaborators. Russian and North Korean soldiers are fascists committing a genocide. Remember that.
-
Objective and factual reporting from the battlefield, parliaments, etc. is encouraged, even if it's about bad news for Ukraine.
-
Insulting Putin and his cronies (Orban, Trump, Musk,...) is absolutely fine but don't use homophobic or similar language against them. Members of the queer community don't deserve to be compared to that scum. Also: Putin disciminates against gay people. If you do as well, you're part of the problem.
-
Don't insult or use overly harsh language against other commentators.
-
Don't submit direct links to Twitter/X and Truth Social posts. You may: Post a screenshot + quote, do a full quote and name the author, direct link to a proxy service like xcancel.com, deep link an image embedded in a tweet because Lemmy will cache a copy.

I think it has become obvious lately, that the politician in Putin has long left his soul.
Especially the way he handled things, when Trump won.
He probably is living now in his own universe about Russian empires, unbroken egos, fighting bears, teaching kids his superior fighting skills, topless afternoons riding horses with his buddies, never losing the war and whatever things he is now too old to pretend to be doing.
Can you elaborate on what you mean regarding "when Trump won"? You mean he failed to manipulate him more effectively? Or something more specific?
Exactly that. Idk, i have the feeling a more political Putin would have taken the chance to enter the world stage again.
Maybe I'm thinking too much as a European again.
