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.

I wish they had negotiated something
-"Give me your home."
"Wtf, no!"
-"Well then I'll kill you for it then"
Some random observer: "I wish they'd negotiated and just given the guy half of their home, then we'd not be in this situation..."
Is there an adult around that could help you ?
Is that really the best response you can think of?
Why would I give you my best ?
You ridiculed my wish for peace, because you are probably a 15 year old boy who still thinks of the world in terms of goodies and baddies.
You’re excited by war, because you think it’s like on TV and have trouble thinking beyond the rudimentary concepts of good and evil.
The world is not like that, but as you’ve demonstrated, it’s not something you are ready to discuss.
Do you think a negotiation would guarantee peace? Russia has shown that any peace is temporary and they'll continue whenever they like. Russia already invaded and seized Ukrainian territory once. The world didn't take a harsh response, and here we are, with Russia invading and trying to seize Ukrainian territory once more.
What would be so different this time to stop Russia from going after Ukraine once more? At some point you have to dig in your heels. It's a paradox of peace -- you cannot have a peaceful society unless you are willing to fight to defend it.
Youre wrong on all counts there, but most importantly to the actual topic of discussion, a negotiated settlement in which the aggressor is just given some of the territory they are attempting to conquer (which is exactly what a negotiated settlement between Ukraine and Russia as the war has gone thus far would have been, because what else could Ukraine have possibly offered to convince Russia that it was worth it to give up their attack?) is not a wish for peace, its a wish for appeasement. It sounds like peace at first glance, sure, but by rewarding aggressive action, it gives every incentive for the aggressor to simply attack again later, in the hope of gaining more concessions. If this kind of policy led to peace, there never would have been a second world war. I do not like war the way you seem to think, but I do not want it tomorrow either. Ensuring that there is as little incentive as possible for those with the means to start them to do so, requires that those that start wars are not allowed to gain by doing so, and Russia has indisputably started this one, therefore to ensure peace, it must lose.
It would be great if all peace took was for everyone involved to sit down and talk, but as you say, the world is not like that.
Yeah, if only they'd just surrendered to Putin immediately he wouldn't have had to massacre so many of them in this way. He could have done it quietly and out of sight, where it wouldn't bother us.
You and 21 others think negotiation means to surrender.
I hope your education wasn’t expensive.
Minsk 1 and 2; can’t negotiate with someone who doesn’t know the meaning of good faith.
You seem to think that (1) there is something legitimate to negotiate and (2) Putin can be taken at his word.
Putin already annexed Crimea in 2014, breaking one Russian promise to uphold the territorial integrity of Ukraine. This invasion marks a second time Russia proved they can’t be trusted. Why would anybody trust them a third time?
Thank you for the words you imagined I said .
The only negotiation should be the timeframe when Russia leaves and goes home.
The only timeline that should be accepted is “immediately”.
So brave !
Yes so they could all become Putin's slave army after he took the rest of Ukraine without fear of Western aid and set his sights on the Baltics
The really grim thing about this ignorant comment is that everyone did
Russia has Crimea because they did negotiate last time. They surrendered land for peace. And that's why it isn't happening again
Death or glory eh ?
