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.

They are not grazing, simply vacationing. A Special Reindeer Operation, if you will.
And sometimes you do Reindeer Games.
Ah russia can't even defend themselves from reindeer it would seem
Sweden should 'accidentally' torpedo one of their subs when it wanders into their waters, then send them a bill for the torpedo that 'wandered into their hull', should cancel out.
I either don't get it or this joke has no logic.
The Soviet Union/Russia have a habit of sending submarines into Swedish waters.
And sending fighter jets into other countries' air space.
It not usually into the airspace. Just into the air defense zone which is over international waters. It's the nation-state equivalent to "I'm not touching you."
You're right. It did happen once or twice with Finland, but with Norway and the US it is just "near" their airspace.

They’re wild animals. Seriously who gives a fuck, plus at the rate we’re going they’d probably go extinct in the next 50-100 years
Broke ass bitch
that is some expensive grass
They dont eat grass but lichen.
That is some expensive lichen.
Well the Reindeer sure seen to be lichen it.
They're probably pining for the fjords now.
Its a special conservation mission.
4.4 million rubles?isn’t that like 400 dollars…?
worth 0 dollars when your trade is embargoed and you lose recognition as a country
They definitely want the hard currency
It was 47 million nok, or 4.4 million usd. Not rubles.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
And while there's a fence to prevent reindeer from crossing borders, that barrier dates back to 1954 with parts in disrepair, the Norwegian Directorate of Agriculture said in a statement last Thursday.
The rundown fence has allowed 42 reindeer to cross into Russia this year in search of better pastures in Pasvik Zapovednik, a Russian national park.
Russia has already sent one claim — with two different ways of calculating the compensation — for the runaway reindeer's grazing, the Norwegian Directorate of Agriculture told Insider in an email on Thursday.
The latter claim is calculated based on the total number of days the reindeer have spent grazing in the national park.
"It is strictly forbidden to cross the border into Russia, for reindeer too," the Norwegian Directorate of Agriculture said in a statement last Thursday, according to an AFP translation.
Russia's natural resources and environment ministry did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Insider sent outside regular business hours.
The original article contains 345 words, the summary contains 161 words. Saved 53%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Lol, fuck Russia.
how bout go over there and get it then lol 😂
Russia and Norway did not live happily ever antler after this.
I am disinclined to acquiesce to this request
