    Russian Railway networks facing "imminent collapse": report

    Jump

  • This article claims that the world's third largest railroad network (after US and China) will collapse in a few days and this claim is based on a report from an anonimous telegram channel ("VChK-OGPU") and an audio file provided by some Ukrainian propagandist. Moreover, it's accompanied by a charming remark that "Newsweek was unable to independently verify the authenticity of the audio clip or VChK-OGPU's report". None of such "sources" are suitable for a post to pass the moderation in the lemmy worldnews community (be it .ml or .world), but for a Newsweek article it is somehow sufficient.

    And the funniest thing is that Newsweek has MBFC Credibility Rating of "HIGH CREDIBILITY". This is how "highly credible" MBFC approved journalism looks like.

  • Which country pirates movies the most?

    Jump

  • While absence of China in Top 10 may be somehow explained by The Great Firewall, the absence of India, Turkey and Russia is totally implausible. Or they might be scanning only torrents of movies with English audio.

  • Mali cuts diplomatic relations with Ukraine after terrorist attack

    Jump

  • It's revealing that you care so much about white mercs from Wagner but totally ignore casualties of black Malian troops killed by local AlQaeda branch with support of Ukraine. Seems like it's impossible to be supportive towards Ukraine without being at least a bit racist.

  • Mali cuts diplomatic relations with Ukraine after terrorist attack

    Jump

  • What's really under doubt here is your reading ability and knowledge of geography:

    1. Ukrainian officials themselves claimed that they've provided help to islamists;
    2. Mali is not region of Russia, it's a sovereign state on totally different landmass.

  • Ukraine to be told it is too corrupt to join Nato

    Jump

  • Pretty ironicaly, so called "Russian puppet" Yanukovych is literally the last Ukrainian president who was democraticaly elected by population of entire Ukraine (meaning within its 1991 borders).

  • If you gonna host torrent tracker with pirate content then VDSina is reasonable choice and i'm using their service for the same purprose. Their help section clearly says that they would ignore any copyright infrigement complaint which is not enforced by Russian police or court what effectively means that US/GB/EU authorities have no chance to bother you. Obviously you should choose their Moscow servers, not Amsterdam ones (which they also offer). I have no idea if they accept Monero payments but they definately allow to pay in some cryptocurrencies.

  • Volodymyr Zelensky’s presidential term expired on May 20th

    Jump

  • Noone in US or EU would care about expiration of Zelensky’s presidential term as long as he's reliable supplier of cannon fodder for proxy NATO-Russia war. Roosevelt's words on Somoza ("he may be a son of a bitch, but he's our son of a bitch') would apply here as well.

  • China sees ‘opportune moment’ as it pushes for direct Russia-Ukraine talks

    Jump

  • Speaking about getting back 2013 Ukraine borders is not more reasonable than speaking about getting back 2013 Ukraine legitimate government. It's impossible in real life to replay from save file - this means that Ukraine would stay with regime imposed by insurrectionists and without Crimea and Donbass.

  • Zelenskyy straight-up said Ukraine is going to lose if Congress doesn't send more aid

  • Definately NOT proxy cannon fodder

  • Immoral piracy is the killing of the crew during the hijacking of a ship. There is no moral dilemma in downloading anything.

  • Why should PM of 1B nation care of some fake news?

  • Table of various levels of piracy

    Jump

  • The whole point of "ethical" piracy is ridiculous. It's old good corporate anti-piracy propaganda but rechewed with some progressive takes. "You wouldn't download an indie car", literally. If you need some justifications and excuses for piracy, than just don't pirate at all. The fact that i'm downloading some game from torrent because i've broken purchased DVD with it never makes me more ethical in any way than some other leecher on the same torrent who's never going to pay for it.

  • What things do you refuse to pirate?

    Jump

  • Only the content that i don't care about.

  • Pope says Ukraine should have 'courage of the white flag' of negotiations

    Jump

  • Well, if Pope is called "piece of shit" for calling to negotiations to prevent more people dying, then who are you, who's ok with war going on? Entire shit?
