Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
You could hardly call these far right anti-ukrainers in the GOP sleeper agents, they’ve been out and out Russian/Fascism cheerleaders for years.
Complaining about the US “wasting” money in Ukraine, as if we don’t have a huge vested interest in the outcome. If you told the GOP of the 60s-90’s what the GOP of today’s stance is on Russia, they literally would not believe you.
Every single dollar spent dismantling Russia is just about the best value you can get for a dollar. We should be committing 10x again what we are.
In fairness, you can also tell a modern Republican what the GOP's stance is on just about anything and they will not believe you.
We spent many times more on an absolutely pointless war for the past 23ish years. Why is giving a bone to Ukraine to deplete the entire russian arsenal such a huge fucking ask?
We tried the wait and see approach with European countries invading their neighbors twice in the last century and both times it ended up being 1000x more costly and got lots of our people killed.
I don't want to be financing Ukraine anymore than the GOP does, but it's still better than dealing with a much bigger problem later.
The US is still playing the same game of wait and see. During WW2 it's not like the US didn't supply the allies with weapons (lend lease act) for years before sending in troops.
Hopefully Ukraine will be able to neuter Russia before the US or the EU have to get involved with actual boots on the ground.
