I_CAST_BEAM_OF_BATS_I_CAST_BOLT_OF_BATS , to worldnews in Ukraine takes down its own drones in ‘friendly fire’ as Russia makes large advance

That just shows how much air defense they have working contrary to Russian disinformatziya

welldraught , to worldnews in Ukraine takes down its own drones in ‘friendly fire’ as Russia makes large advance

In my country the headline would go something like: Another sucessful attack by Ukraine. Multiple drones were shot down. Putin is furious. UKRAINI SLAVA!!!

Article says that it’s probably related to a fight over the .SU (Soviet Union) TLD. Alexey refused to turn it over when The Kremlin asked for it.

I don’t have any insights, but from the artiicles I’ve read earlier I’d guess it’s more about taking him as a hostage to silence his son, a journalist writing about infosec and a person non-grata in Russia.

The SU tld is equal to what other countries know under the CC domain. No legitimate site uses that and I can’t say I’ve seen any SU link in ten+ years browsing ru-net. If that’s what they pinned on him, well, the level of fabrication is laughable. Unlike the fate of an old guy put into a joint over these stupid accusations.

At my house we prefer to call him Хуйло (who-y-low, a dick-thing), but there are a lot of more sound and humiliating variations.

Alexey Soldatov, 72, sentenced by Moscow court to death.

2 years gulag for a 72yo man is likely a death sentence.

I’m sure this will have no consequences for Russia’s future.

Diplomjodler3 ,

They have no future at this point, so no.

ImpressiveEssay , to world in Russia jails scientist Alexey Soldatov who pioneered country's internet

It’s mind boggling how much if a pussy Putin is.

Putting his tiny penis on display for all…

Nougat ,

How dare you mention Putin and tiny penises in the same breath. That is an affront to tiny penises.

@JustZ@lemmy.world avatar

Jfc. The cartels have way too much power, they are Mexico’s long embarrassment. Have to go after the banks that handle the money. They know where it’s coming from.

Oh well, can’t pick your neighbors.

“attacks on senior officers from the capital remain relatively rare”

Goes on to describe another attack 3 and 1/2 years ago on a senior officer from the capital.

@douglasg14b@lemmy.world avatar

The operative word, which you quoted, is “relatively”.

Varyk ,

Yeah, they already throw in all the specifics of “senior” officials “from the capital city”, but attacks are still so common there that they have to add in “relatively”.

um … has anyone read Robert Bolano’s “2666”

tlou3please , to world in Mexico City police chief shot dead in ‘drug cartel hit’

I don’t know anything about the guy but it must take some serious balls to do a job like that in Mexico City.

Guntrigger ,

For a second I thought you were talking about the hit, but now I realise you mean the police chief part.

JustZ , (edited )
@JustZ@lemmy.world avatar

The hit too. To be so expendable, it was a suicide mission, and the shooters’ families, so expendable, too. They hand you the gun; you can either shoot them, shoot yourself, or go shoot some stranger, and if you do anything other than shoot the stranger, they kill you and your family, too. That’s what’s behind the drug trade. Mexico doesn’t go after the banks that enable the cartels, so this is what they choose.

It’s like in America how the old-monied elites refuse to act on overwhelmingly popular gun reforms, so they have chosen unchecked firearms deaths for the American public.

Somewhat ironically, Omar Garcia Harfuch, nominated to her cabinet by Mexican President-elect Claudia Sheinbaum, was a former Mexico Police Chief who survived an assassination attempt in 2020.

Garcia Harfuch is suspected of being involved in the infamous disappearances of 43 students from Ayotzinapa Rural Teacher’s College, being head of the Federal Police of the region who abducted and allegedly tortured the students before killing them. nacla.org/rebirth-omar-garcia-harfuch

Well that was a lot of horrible info to take in, thanks.

Mexico has been essentially a failed state for about 200 years. Its history is a series of coups and revolutions punctuated by periods of instability like we have today.

Make Mexico Spanish Again

Edit: it’s just a joke :(

itsnicodegallo ,

Isn’t it their fault to begin with though? Spanish conquistadors aren’t known for their positive influence on Native American peoples.

GBU_28 ,

Comical take. Say more so I might watch with popcorn

circuscritic ,

Mexico is highly dysfunctional and suffering from extreme levels of political violence, but no, it’s not a failed state.

positiveWHAT , to world in Mexico City police chief shot dead in ‘drug cartel hit’

Isn’t it way past time they got the Iraq treatment?

remotelove ,

Like, we go bomb the shit out of them and keep the country in limbo long enough for the power vacuum to be filled with a couple of larger terrorist groups?

positiveWHAT ,

Well, when you put it like that. Maybe more of a Kosovo UN treatment?

GBU_28 ,

Edit your silly goose comment to reflect your silly goose perspective

positiveWHAT ,

I mean sending in some UN troops to cleanse the country of the cartels. Have you seen the type of violence they do?

GBU_28 ,

“cleanse the country” holy shit

positiveWHAT ,

It’s also laughable to think the USA could do it when they can’t even keep their own police up to standards.

J.D.? Shouldn’t you be on the campaign trail, buddy?

ShittyBeatlesFCPres ,

What’s the “Iraq treatment”? The U.S. spending a trillion dollars to create enough instability for something like ISIS to emerge?

If they drop support now the Ukrainian meatgrinder is exhausted it’s going to be interesting how the media will spin it.

Everyone was been told Ukraine wouldn’t be abandoned no matter what.
