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.

There are concepts of a plan
Damn, that already feels like a million years ago. You didn't have to be a news junkie like me to see that quote and know that Trump lost the only debate the coward showed up to. Literally unfit to lead. Yet people just said "don't care, want boot!" and voted him in anyway. So embarrassed for my stupid country...
Signing off on russians demands in not a plan.
He doesn’t. He’s going to pull back and let Russia do their genocide thing. It’s why he blocked Ukraine aid before this started, too.
Same for Gaza, and probably Taiwan as well.
"Sure, I knew that voting for Trump meant more and worse genocides including on American soil, but I expected it from him. Seeing a genocide under Kamala Harris's tenure as not-president made me worry she wouldn't actually help once she became president. And then I'd be disappointed. Why would I want to possibly be disappointed when I can instead experience horrors that meet expectations?"

😂😅 so true
Where are all the gEnOcIdErS now?
Oh, they were just shills...
it wouldn't end there.
We will almost certainly see more bad news in context of global democracy and rise authoritarianism/plutocracy. Unfortunately, it seems that the US is entering a permanent oligarch-fueled "bread and circuses" phase (Big Macs and iPhones for the modern equivalent?).
No. But other people’s suffering has never mattered to him.
Never mattered to the Democrats either. No matter who has been in power America's geopolitical ambitions are all that mattered. To Trump, he is the only thing that matters.
Trump's vision is so myopic that he can't see beyond his own nose. Same for is ability to care. If the US reneges on promises made as detailed in the Budapest Memorandum what chance will they have in other such promises. Countries are watching. This is doubly ironic as Trump keeps talking about nuclear war.
While this is true, with the US, their geopolitical ambitions have sometimes aligned with positive developments (Germany, Japan, the Baltic nations and Poland in relatively more recent times). The same cannot be said for say Russia or China.
The same cannot be said for say Russia or China.
How so? Russia doesn't really have global ambitions anymore, but China is invested in seeing a larger global middle class and a weaker Western neocolonial hold over Africa. This can and has lead to positive developments.
China's engagment in Africa is just as neocolonial as Western engagement if not more.
Why is Lemmy so full of degenerate LARPers ?
Huh? Okay you'll need to provide some evidence if you're saying it's anything as neocolonial as what France is doing to these countries.
My man, did you not catch the tone in my previous message? What makes you think I am going to bite and engage with your bullshit?
I will give you some unrequested advice. We both know that you've never lived in Asia or Africa. You don't know any local language. You don't have friends or family there and you don't even have close friends who've lived there. You have no fucking clue about colonialism or China.
Reading some BS online or watching some videos (I highly doubt you read books or research) is not going to make you sound convincing or even improve your argumentation skills.
For example, you started off with some world salad about China being interested in a global middle class. That's an immediate red flag that reveals that you know jack shit. And I am not talking about the actual content of your arguement.
If god forbid you actually buy into your own BS (and you're not just bored and LARPing), just assume I am brainwashed and I hate evidence or whatever else comes into your head.
We good?
That’s very cynical but not entirely wrong.
He plans on ending it by ending Ukraine.
