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.

"Russia's _____ not going according to plan" seems to be the running theme lately.
Only if you live in a propaganda bubble.
You think everything goes according to the plan on Russian side? This “special operation” is the largest clisterfuck imaginable for them.
You only think that getting your defensive line breached and continuing to lose ground 565 days into your 3 day offensive is bad if you're in a propaganda bubble.
No no, it's all part of Putin's 4D-chess masterplan!
[Snorts copium]
No. But it seems ya'll think nothing goes to plan on the Russian side. Which just isn't true, unless you live in a propaganda bubble.
Lol.
Do you not know what the word 'theme' means? I think that's the crux of this issue.
Lol, keep grasping at those straws.
That doesn't even make sense in context. Is English your second language? I'm happy to change how I phrase things.
You're desperate to move goalposts to fool yourself into thinking you're right.
Theme? What? Lol. I never said 'generally.' I never referred to 'trends.' I was talking about specifics. Specifically, you incorrectly interpreted my comment as 'everything goes according to russian's plans.' Which is asinine. I never insinuated that. Just like with your 'theme' argument, you're making stuff up that's easier to argue against because you don't really have a point.
Look, I'm sorry you've fallen for the propaganda. I support Ukraine. I believe they are winning the war. However, that doesn't mean Russians aren't doing anything right, which is what everyone here seems to believe.
If you can't conceive of how much content is being filtered and censored to garner as much support for the war as possible, I literally can't help you. You need more life experience.
So you actually think there's not a general theme of things going poorly for Russia?
There are drones bombing their capital and their currency dropped significantly. International companies are leaving. They're spending LOADS of money and lives and not really getting very far.
What part of that sounds like it's going not poorly, in a general sort of fashion?
I never mentioned what a general theme for russia would or would not be.
This is you making up an argument because you need something to argue against, and it can't be what I'm actually saying.
Since you're going to carry this on forever, you may have the last word.
Goodbye, and good luck. lol.
So they said the theme is bad, you said no it isn't. And now you're saying you didn't say that. And does that make you seem like a clear thinker? Someone whose opinion on the matter should be valued?
It's helped me find a new entry into my ignore list
I just read the whole thread lol, you originally responded “only if you live in a propaganda bubble” to the first comment about things going for Russia being a theme.
Sad to say, you’re incorrect in this chain of comments and are clearly just trying to deflect after making an unpopular reply in the first place.
Go touch some grass.
I'm not who you're responding to, but you may wish to check the first comment in the thread again.
The first comment says "running theme," which most people would interpret to mean generally.
Abuse, exploitation of the vulnerable and disinformation among its citizens. Actually, I would argue that the disinformation has been successful in Britain and the former colonies.
The poster you're replying to is, uh ... yeah.
go on then show me the wins
lmfao trash. two random combat videos.
Russia started this conflict, they are invading pos.
Now drones are bombing Russian soil, they are being pushed out of Ukraine. Conscripting criminals, trafficking Cubans and their best fighting force (Wagner) is in shambles.
Russia shit the bed, they are being dominated and two videos that are old showing some random fighting is nothing fuck out of here
Okay. Stay in your bubble and ignore any information that contradicts it.
That's what makes you a rational person and certainly above propaganda.
i know this information you presented
changes nothing. go back to spreading disinformation idiot
Mhmm so how do you pass your own " I fell for the propaganda test", and would you adjust your thinking with new information?
You haven't addressed any plain as day facts this far.
If you want everyone reading your posts to be fully convinced you're hopelessly brainwashed then don't address any specifics and just tell us to do our own research...
You haven't really shown us anything. You've taken a contrarian position so that you can either a) push a false narrative, or b) make yourself feel like you have some sort of special, secret knowledge so you can feel superior about one thing in an otherwise shitty life.
Liveuamap.com shows a border that is moving in the direction that most reporting days it is. It is fairly easy to confirm/deny by external agencies, as it represents something physical and tangible. Either Russia is getting whooped on, or the map is lying. With satellite images, videos on location, and gps data, nobody has called it out yet. You're welcome to give it a go, and if you can disprove it, I'm all ears
Until then, facts is facts, son.
ok shill lol
🥱
If things were going to plan these videos wouldn't exist, as Russia would have full control of Ukraine by day 3 in February 2022.
Lol, what? The mental gymnastics among ya'll I swear are worthy of an olympic gold medal.
Not really sure what is confusing about what I said. Russia's plan was to take Ukraine in 3 days. It's now on, what - day 566? There's no way they planned on it taking this long.
Actually you're right - Putin expected it to take much longer... he expected it to take 10 days.
Ukraine war: Captured Russian documents reveal Moscow's 10-day plan to take over the country and kill its leaders
Russian Invasion of Ukraine: How Putin lost in 10 days
Has Putin's war failed and what does Russia want from Ukraine? * mentions "a matter of days" but doesn't specify a number
Let's be real here, nobody plans for an invasion to go as slowly has it has been. You'd capture an objective as soon as you can, with the element of surprise. It did actually look like it was going to happen in the first couple of days but the entire invasion stalled when they failed to capture the airport.
when there's no data to prove otherwise it's usually because it does not exist.
You sound like the type to believe people are dying en masse because of covid vaccines.
Realistically who doesn't? At least the western type tends to be correct
I guess no ones plan is really working
