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.

Let's all wish that Putin is dumb enough not to see this as interference so that WW3 doesn't happens.
don't fall for his propaganda...there are no red lines in supporting ukraine
Except the Geneva convention. Breaking that ends badly for everyone, no matter which side breaks it first.
I hate to break it to you, but Russia crossed that particular Rubicon at Bucha and so many other places already. So first place is already taken
My propaganda? You saying "no red lines" is precisely what a propagandist would say, giving absolutes and not considering trade-offs.
At this point I'm not surprised that dumb people don't see through such bullshit. People are dumb, simply put.
putin's propaganda kiddo...calm the fuck down.
holy shit kiddo, you are really beging for the downvotes. Maybe take a very deep breath, relax and read again what I have written.
But I also think you should take a break from Lemmy, I mean look at you, one month old account and -400, that's somehow impressive 😂
Let's sit down for a moment.
Putin is not going to launch nukes.
Putin is not going to start WW3.
Putin has had every chance to start it already and continued as usual.
Putin is not going to change his mind because of Abrams tanks.
The West can send in all the aid it wants short of combat personnel and nukes, and Putin has no option for stopping it.
Nothing short of an existential threat to all of Russia will change any of this.
If you don't believe this by this point in the war, I don't know what else to tell you. He's had plenty of chances and done nothing but complain. WW3 is not on the table.
You missed one key point. Putin knows that they don't know which nukes are functioning, and which, due to lack of maintenance, are going to blow up in Russian territory the moment they try to launch. I know Russian roulette is a thing, but they don't normally have 5 bullets and one empty chamber.
🤣
WW3? Russia couldn't even defeat Ukraine lol. Putin would be dead inside of a week if he was ever that stupid.
Why would this be the line to not cross?
You can't kowtow to their threats or they just threaten more to get their way. It's not ww3, it's a stalling tactic.
Putin doesn't want to nuke himself, which is the most likely outcome of him trying to nuke anyone. Nukes are literally the most expensive weapons to build and maintain. Please look at the current maintenance standards of the Russian military, and tell me again how they have working nuclear weapons that they built decades ago, when nuclear weapons have an expiration date that is more like a year or two without maintenance.
Things don't usually develop in the rational way you're thinking of. Multiple times we almost went into nuclear war for much less.
