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.

He doesn't give a shit about what happens to the Turkish people, so guaranteed hardship is irrelevant.
Sociopaths just want power.
Bingo
They aren't even an EU member, I'm not sure what he even means by this.
yes then fuck off please
Big “you can’t fire me, I quit!” vibes from Erdogan here.
Quit from what though? They're not EU members. I really don't understand what he's even talking about. Their frozen membership application?
Don't let your dreams be dreams Erdoganopoulos!
You could.
You'll be choked to death financially shortly thereafter, but you could do that singularly stupid thing.
A large part of Turkey's economy and value right now is that they are being a middle man between Putin and his problems.
That being said, if he gives that up.....
Putin is not going to have a middle man between himself and the next Prygozhin.
The only value he will have will be that which Russia ascribes to it temporarily.
Is this for Turkey fucking around with Finland and Sweden’s attempt to join NATO?
You did that 17 years ago, good sir. Kindly go fuck yourself.
What does "part ways" even mean? They aren't in the EU and the only claim they have to being on the European continent , is some land they illegally acquired in a very similar fashion to Russia in Ukraine. Is he going to use "immigrants (actually refugees) as weapons" and "open floodgates" to let them into the EU? Provide Russia with more weapons? What?
I don't recall Turkey having any "ways" with the EU anyway.
unfounded allegations
Edit: hope I'm not too old that nobody understands the reference
Is that Baghdad Bob??
Yes and he wants you to know that there are no tanks.
Comical Ali!
Translation: like an only kid with divorced parents he will continue to exploit both sides till the end of times.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
ISTANBUL, Sept 16 (Reuters) - Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday that Ankara could "part ways" with the European Union if necessary when asked about the contents of a European Parliament report on Turkey.
The report, adopted earlier this week, said Turkey's accession process with the 27-member bloc cannot resume under current circumstances and called for the EU to explore "a parallel and realistic framework" for its ties with Ankara.
Turkey has been an official candidate to join the EU for 24 years, but accession talks have stalled in recent years over the bloc's concerns about human rights violations and respect for the rule of law.
"The EU is trying to break away from Turkey," Erdogan told reporters ahead of a trip to the United States.
"We will make our evaluations against these developments and if necessary, we can part ways with the EU."
Turkey's Foreign Ministry said earlier this week that the European Parliament report contained unfounded allegations and prejudices and took "a shallow and non-visionary" approach to the country's ties with the EU.
