Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the death of Kissinger while he is still unfortunately alive, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I've noticed a major uptick in Russia scaremongering recently. I think it's lining up with upcoming elections in the UK and US. Usher in the strongmen.

Here's some excerpts from warhawk Daniel Johnson:

  • In the UK, only 18% of millennials would be willing to fight for their country.

In Germany,

  • He {Pistorius} warned recruits in Hamburg that peace in Europe was "no longer an irrefutable certainty" and asked: "Are we seriously ready to defend this country in an emergency?" Raising the possibility of reintroducing conscription, he continued: "And who is this we? This debate has to be had."

Pictured: scum (with an iron cross? It can't be, right? I'm not expert but I'd imagine it's a different symbol)

Then a final absurd note:

  • "But a concerted campaign of rearmament, embracing not just Nato but the entire free world, would demonstrate to Putin, Xi Jinping and leaders of other authoritarian regimes that the West is ultimately invincible."

Cope and seethe

  • "Now it is time to show that the West - including all who share our values - is capable of dealing not only with pirates who threaten trade routes but with dictators who threaten humanity. If we cherish the peace that has prevailed over most of mankind since 1945, we owe it to posterity to prepare for war."

Most of mankind... What a blatantly false idea. Western economic satellites have been in constant war.

  • "The Anglo-American naval action in the Red Sea is a reminder that only the West cares about preserving peace and the rule of law. We are very efficient at dealing with the likes of the Houthis."

We must ensure peace!! How? Spend more money on weapons!! Rule of law! This journalist should be exiled to Palestine with immediate effect.

'very efficient at dealing with the likes of the Houthis'... and then the next suggested article is
