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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

From the satellite evidence I've seen of Russia's military stockpiles, they've basically run out of their war chest of tanks, APC's, and artillery pieces, with most of them having been blown up in Ukraine.
Their ability to create new ones is limited and slow, meaning they are extremely weak militarily, and I very much doubt they'd be able to wage an effective war against NATO in 4 years, as the general in the article suggests.
Until China teams up with Russia, which they have already tested the waters of in Ukraine. Coming from the US, the biggest problem isn't Russia. It's the ability of any normal politician to accurately gauge them as a threat. If they are around in 4 years, and the Ukraine war hasn't wrapped up, China and Russia will move to take over Europe and destroy what's left of Democracy in the world. The US might even help them if we're still being run by the orange pedo and his cronies at that time.
At this moment, Europe's the only real democracy left on the planet that can't be taken over through social media targeted ad brain washing like the US. But once the EU is off the map, every country run by a dictator or capitalist is free from EU regulations, scrutiny, and trade restrictions. So the US and or China would not hesitate to join Russia in destroying the EU if it means profit line go up.
The problem isn't Russia, it's doubting the greed of other nations that can and will work with them.
To add to that, western "democracy" is on the ropes. Supporting Israels genocide has cost them most of their credibility-- whether they were bullied into it by the US or not. The very concept of "Democracy" is hardly what we would have claimed it was even 20 years ago. And capitalism is in a stage of gross excess with no signs of fixing itself. Fewer people are willing to pick up a rifle and die for that.
