World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.

Thb, there is no winning this war for anyone. If Russia was able to push into kieve and actually demand a unconditional surrender, they would have done it by now.
The best Russia can hope for now is a conditional surrender that allows them to keep hold over their most strategically important territories, namely their access to the black sea.
Meaning the best outcome was just the status quo of 2014. To achieve their conservation of the status quo they have wasted the vast majority of their war materials and trained personal. Even if they win, it cost them their ability to project hard power outside of eastern Europe.
Despite what you say, even in the worst case scenario Ukraine will have the forces to pursue a peace agreement, giving them time to rearm and resupply.
I think the whole point of the people of Ukraine fighting is that they believe the west interest and Ukraine's interest are one in the same. I personally believe the west is more interested in destroying Russian hard power, but I'm not going to assert that I know more about Ukrainian interest more than the Ukrainian.
Ahh, so you are of the opinion that the rest of the world buys that Russia invaded Ukraine because of Nazism? Despite the fact that their pmc is named Wagner, and was founded by a self confessed neo nazi?
Its an obvious troll account. It was hoping someone would expend as much energy as you have on refuting its claims. It doesnt care that its wrong. Its only job is to keep you scrambling for counterpoints.
Eh, my rebuttal isn't for their benefit, it's for the benefit of those who may find it reasonable claim. Plus, it kills time between my appointments.
Fair enough. I hope we one day have some method to figure out these trolls immediately on posting and ban them.
