Almost 90 bombs were dropped in one region in just 24 hours.

Russia unleashed an unprecedented bombardment in southern Ukraine overnight in what local officials described as a “massive attack” in the conflict which has continued to rage even as the international community’s attention has moved to the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

The Ukrainian Internal Affairs Ministry on Monday morning said Russia dropped at least “87 aerial bombs on populated areas of the Kherson region - the largest number for all time.” At least eight people were also injured in other Russian strikes carried out in the Odessa region further to the west on Sunday night.

Putin is everywhere.

Putin is in each and single fighter jet. Putin launches missles. And he’s also a missle itself.

He’s on TV. And he’s in the mind of every idiot in the US and EU.

He’s on the frontline. He’s in Kremlin giving orders and he also is the one who fulfills them.

Don’t say that Putin steps down disappearing into nothingness because every day he emerges from nothingness all over again. And this keeps idiots on lemmy, reddit and in Western newspapers busy discussing him.

Makes sense, UN can only produce a finite amount of concern, not enough to express it on 2 major conflicts.

You don’t understand what the UN is. It’s a common misconception.

The purpose of the UN is to have a diplomatic environment where all can be heard in front of all others. It’s to encourage diplomatic solutions to problems and to defuse conflicts.

The UN doesn’t have any way to do anything, it’s merely a fancy forum. Its members could meet at the UN and decide to do something (although it can be legally complicated) but that’s not on the UN.

A dialogue that fails to yield productive policy is mere busy work.

It’s to encourage diplomatic solutions to problems and to defuse conflicts.

Right now we’re having a debate over whether a ceasefire would be antisemitic. That’s not a conversation that behooves diplomatic solutions or defuses conflicts. It just serves to distract public attention while folks in Gaza are exterminated.

The UN’s role is to prevent conflict between major powers, not stop all war period. It has done an exemplary job at that, better than any organization in history. There have been no wars between major world powers in the past 75 years. Prior to that, all empires were constantly at each other’s throats.

One day US and EU propaganda claim that Putin and Russia are on a brick of collapse, that the russian army is unable of anything and UA is winning. The next day they’ll cry that the same russian army is 1st or 2nd strongest in the world, that it overpowers UA in all ways possible despite that US and EU help the latter.

And so on back and forth. Yet they claim that they don’t engage in propaganda and misinformation.

Yeah but you see, he can’t, because NATO made him do it. NATO is weak and decadent by the way, but simultaneously strong enough to force Nice Guy Putin into doing things he wouldn’t have done otherwise.

What I really mean to say is, the West is responsible for these bombings (I am very intelligent).

US and Eu neglect the interests of Russia, but they don’t like it when Russia does the same towards them. Magic?

Russia hasn’t even started.

But why have the US and West not been able to kick him out? Isn’t Russia a gas-station? Isn’t Putin weak? Isn’t the Russian army weak? Isn’t “the whole world” agaist Putin? Isn’t UA winning all the time, at any given time?

  • 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 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.

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.
