Good job, Putin.
Couldn't have done it without you proving to every reasonable person that you want the Russian Empire's borders back.

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.

It's kind of crazy that pretty much every assumption Putin had about invading Ukraine turned out to be wrong.
Tom Clancy though?
Man doesn't miss.
(Not counting all the misses)
That's pretty great actually
Grippens for Ukraine. You promised...
this will take some time. Also, I thought Hungary had to approve in Parliament as well, no?
Yeah, that is the last I heard too. Hungary is still open. Maybe just a matter of time but they keep stalling.
Sadly, our fking commie orban (the hungarian dictator/king) still postponing the "voting" about this, to serve putin (he has all the document about his and his comrades commie past, and present)
NATO should send Putin some kind of present basket. That russian cunt did more advertising for the NATO than anybody else.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
STOCKHOLM — In one of the most consequential strategic realignments since Russia’s full-scale attack on Ukraine, Sweden appears poised to join Finland inside NATO as soon as next month, linking arms with its neighbors in an increasingly joined-up defense of Europe’s northeast.
Stoltenberg said his talks with Erdoğan this month had been constructive, and on Monday, the Turkish leader said he had signed and passed documents to the parliament in Ankara so it can vote on Sweden’s eventual accession.
Standing alongside Stoltenberg in Stockholm, Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said his country had watched the Finnish accession process closely “to learn lessons for our own integration.” Finland joined NATO in April.
The annexation of Crimea by Russia earlier that year had sent a chill through the Baltic Sea region but the two Nordic states appeared intent on not joining the alliance.
Still, Stoltenberg helped push integration between Finnish, Swedish and NATO forces through detailed agreements such as the Enhanced Opportunity Partnership and Host Nation Support.
But in May 2022, the Social Democrats pivoted and Stoltenberg — and Swedish officials — began months of shuttle diplomacy, regularly taking in Washington and increasingly Ankara as Erdoğan’s resistance emerged.

Why do I have this feeling that something really bad is going to happen every time I hear 'The time has come'?
