Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

The only reason Trump is doing this is to get the USA out of NATO for Putin. The reason he works for Putin is because Putin has some very compromising pictures and videos of Trump, involving children and possibly pee

The reason he works for Putin is that he's been laundering money for the Russian mob since the 1980s, and he has learned to do as they tell him while imagining he's making his own decisions.

also deustche bank being complicit as well, since they are doing through the german bank.

I don't even see how this benefits Russia. Their military hasn't even been effective in Ukraine. The remaining NATO members have more than enough military to deal with Russia

I get they're removing the largest force, but they don't have the military to capitalize on that. If anything they're going to end up making the rest of Europe stronger.

I don’t even see how this benefits Russia.

A destabilized US is still an advantage to some wishing to supplant the falling superpower.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago

having the west and US all infighting from culture wars, and conservative govt, allows russia to freely invade its neighbors more easily without much resistance.

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Or Putin just pays him a shitload of money each time.

[–] PetteriPano@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

My sources tell me that there's even poo-poo involved.

[–] JamieDub86@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago
