While the sentiment of the headline is true, Daily Mail is a terrible source. Per Wikipedia:

The Daily Mail has been criticised for its unreliability, its printing of sensationalist and inaccurate scare stories about science and medical research,[17][18][19][20] and for instances of plagiarism and copyright infringement.[21][22][23][24] In February 2017, the English Wikipedia banned the use of the Daily Mail as a reliable source.[25][26][27]

I just can't trust any of the details there, even if I want to.

This is a problem with much of UK media. The Telegraph has top tier Ukraine war reporting but I see pro Brexit crap in the sidebar every now and then.

I posted the article because on its own it seemed fine to post, especially because it embeds a good amount of photos from social media. I don't have time to sift through endless social media feeds to find the original sources of the videos embedded in the article and when I happen to stumble upon an article I like, I also don't have time to do a background check of what the outlets publishes as well. I use ad blockers to block entire Recommended side bars and such which is why I often don't see whatever else websites write. I try to remember your heads up about the Daily Mail but there is a decent chance it'll escape me in a few weeks when I stumble upon the next Ukraine article by them.

Please don't post Daily Mail links. You might as well post the output of an LLM because we have no way of knowing how much, if any, of it is true due to past and ongoing track record. They are not a friend to any of their reader based, but serve the elite in Britain by keeping society divided and small minded.

Shocking footage is flooding out of Russia showing desperate motorists brawling in queues at petrol stations, as the fight for fuel reaches a breaking point.

Just wait a while longer, for the brawls when the shortage will be on food too.

It was a short term Aussie fuel shortage that got people acting such to inspire the mad max series.

Russians started buying more horses…Curious what else will go down. Little people and crossbows and such….
