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.
-
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.

Against who, Russia?
Russia is 3 years into a 2-day war against a non-nuclear power that's drafting women and old men, and it still barely holds it's own. If Europe put a quarter of it's existing force on the ground in Eastern Ukraine, Russia would be running home with it's tail tucked, or be lobbing nukes to save their asses.
What a fucking bullshit artist. What's in it for him to spread this narrative?
Ukraina is holding-its-own ONLY because of the ocean-of-resources WE are pouring into Ukraina.
Trump's decapitating representative-republic from the US of A, next month, & acting on his already repeatedly-declared intent to coerce Canada into being his possession, using Greenland to snuff our EU-lifeline.
With China making Putin, currently economically nearly-helpless, except for all the African gold he's gaining, through his "Africa Corps" ( former Wagner ), with China making Putin an offer he cannot refuse, as soon as Trump declares his annexation of Canada:
Puting can rampage on Europe all he wants, using all the lives he can scrounge, so long as he accommodates China's supplanting Russia, throughout Russia's government.
( the "revised edition" of The Mongol Yoke, from Russian-people's perspective )
Since Putin only cares about himself, & he's got NO alternative, that's a DONE deal.
So, then Europe's on its own, against the combined-might of Russia's military-economy AND China's economic-force & authoritarian-gov't..
Totally different equation.
Further, launching nukes means BOTH sides get some nuclear-incineration, & massive nuclear-poisoning.
Putin's got less to lose: slamming Europe with nukes would suit him fine, right?
Europe, wanting to NOT have the world turned into a few glassed-cities with nuclear-poison all over the place ( no, 500 nukes couldn't destroy the planet's life, completely, not by a long-shot: they'd be used clustered, on high-value-targets ), is hobbled in a way that Putin isn't.
& that means that the war's going to be conventional, as long as the EU can prevent nukes from getting played.
