Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Ukraine is neither the center geographically nor strategically of any defense of the EU.
Yeah, once again, you don't know what that word means. I suggest you look it up.
Ok, double-checked the definition, it means exactly what I thought it does. You're going to have to explain your argument like an adult if you want me to respond further to explain how you are wrong.
Oh, OK. What is the replicable pattern of "defense" that is Ukraine, then?
You seem to mean strategy. Ukraine is not the center of European defense strategy, but at least that word isn't just nonsense.
Yes, this does feel like I'm talking to a 3 year old
The beat you can do is "no u"?
Anyways /uj for a second, "paradigm" has more than one definition. I think you're using a different one than we were, which is roughly "a method or framework for thought". A paradigm is a way of thinking about something, or a set of tools and methods used to do so. This is the definition used in the phrase "paradigm shift" and is pretty common; it overlaps with, but is different to, using "paradigm" to refer to an exceptional example of something to replicate. Saying Ukraine will be at the center of the european defense paradigm means that it will be used as a foundational point of reference when discussing defense, and its capabilities will be key to our defense strategy.
And again, that is meaningless unless you're claiming you will replicate Ukraine's defense in other places.
Nor is Ukraine "foundational", unless you think that all of Europe is a former part of the USSR that was also the center of WWII against the Russian state of the time. If you'd like to suggest some other country that fits that "paradigm", I'm all ears.
Ukraine isn't foundational - it's a proxy war now abandoned by the US that too much of Europe has decided to let anchor it.
