A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

I'm pretty sure Russia is fueling the war by refusing to stop attacking Ukraine. Perhaps they can GTFO if they're so concerned?
If he’s so upset about the war he can just order his troops to come home. Bam, war is over.
some real "look at what you made me do!" narcissistic abuser energy going on
Well...yea...Ukraine has 60 days or so to win this conflict or be erased from history.
What's he going to do, invade?
Cry some more you old bitch.
Suck my dick
I hope France and the UK will announce their allowance of SCALP & Storm Shadows deep strikes with a bang instead of a press release...
Fantastic news though 💓!
Putin only has to hang in there for 2 months. Surely the very first thing his compliant little asset will do when he sits down in the Oval Office will be to rescind the use of US weapons oin Russian territory. Then Vlad can continue his needless destruction of Ukraine unimpeded.
Doesn't matter, though. The US's leverage in restricting weapons is the relationship with Ukraine and continued supply of aid. With Trump in office, both are nonexistent; there's little reason for Ukraine to comply with any US restrictions going forward from that point.
Excellent point.
That dipshit Putin is standing in the fire, so of course we're gonna throw fuel on it. If nothing else, I'm happy to see the world making this invasion of Ukraine as costly as possible for the Russians who started it.
Meanwhile the German chancellor had his position of not delivering long ranging weapons to Ukraine reconfirmed in a press conference today. The strikes on Ukraines energy grid came shortly after Scholz had a phone call with Putin and Zelensky criticised it. Oh and during the weekend Scholz also reasserted sending more weapons to Israel. German politics is already preparing for their new American lord Trump, after Biden leaves officed.
Germany, Wo sind die Taurus !?
😴
Yes, I hear that’s how one fights fire. (With fire)
No U.
