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 hope they are frantically developing nukes, now that the non-proliferation agreement is voided.
They’ve got the silos for them, sourcing fissile material is my concern
This will likely be the last shipment of aid provided.
Out of everything, this is one of the harder things for me to take. The US voted for this shithead, but the Ukrainian people are the ones who will suffer because of him. Because of us.
From what little I have read, it seems like broader Europe is working towards that and other things without the US, but some countries have their own right wing issues.
And sadly when EU was formed this crazy shit was just outside of even imagination. Now a couple of stupids can really hinder it, if not block completely...
I was hoping that if somehow, somehow Orbán was gotten rid of in my country, the EU would be free of this plague. Now not even that would solve it.
I know right? Poland got their shit together too, but Slovakia lost it completely... sigh
We'll have to rely on Europe to get it's shit together. It doesn't look good though.
Are you also relying on Europe to get its shit together when it comes to climate change? I think you still don't understand how fucked the world is because US citizens did not get their shit together and voted for Trump.
That's quite the topic change there. But, no, I have no optimism about climate change.
Neither do I, because the US citizens elected Trump, who will both betray our friends in Ukraine and withdraw from the Paris climate agreement. These are just two of his future misdeeds, which are completely foreseeable. Thank you dear allies from the US, you are really very helpful.
Fuck trump, and fuck putin. Lets put boots on the ground to defend Ukraine and make trump pull out when gets in office. But i bet a month of pissed off soldiers would destroy Russias army.
Took less than that to capture Baghdad. Drop the Rangers off and they’ll be sharing photos of taking a shit in Putin’s dacha by new years
