    “We’ll continue to make representations to the reprehensible regime of [Russian President] Vladimir Putin on behalf of Mr Jenkins,” Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told 9News in April.

    Lmfao yeah calling them reprehensible while asking them for something is really gonna help him out dipshits.

    Just before launching a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin recognised all of Luhansk and Donetsk as independent of Ukraine. Russian proxy forces began an insurgency there in 2014.

    “Russian proxy forces” ? lol, ok who were the proxy though?

    Gonna start saying “UK proxy forces” for every single single conflict the UK is supporting. IDF? Nah mate it’s UK proxy forces.

            Brothers and sisters are natural enemies. Like Chinese and Australians! Or Indonesians and Australians! Or Solomon Islanders and Australians! Or Australians and other Australians! Damn Australians! They ruined Australia! (true)

    Prosecutors said he arrived in Ukraine in February 2024, alleging he was paid between 600,000 and 800,000 rubles (£5,504 and £7,339) a month to take part in military operations against Russian troops.

    To put this in context, a teacher with about ten years of experience in that Australian state would be getting about (the equivalent of) 600,000 rubles a month anyway

      That was the funniest shit, a bunch of dipshit Redditors deciding to try playing Call of Duty irl, plastering their location all over the internet, and being completely surprised when they get whacked by missile strikes. If anyone has a link to a comprehensive write up on that debacle I’d love to give it a read

-- 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).

-- 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 resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, 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. --
