Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

even with all the western weapons,

All is a very big stretch. They have been fighting with ours and others leftovers.

Modern fully equipped trained NATO force using combined arms and manover warfare would annihilate any Russian setup.

1980s missiles with a understrength Ukraine force and static defenses will take a beating from lots of Russian arty and bombs. But still they have not given in!

I'll have to trust you on that, I don't know anything about weapons systems.

What I do know is that Russia has never lost a war due to lack of manpower.
