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.

The person who is ultimately responsible for almost all of it denounces it. My irony meter collapsed into a black hole.
In order to not get the "meter collapsed", some do suggest to actually not trust news as the raw source, where every single word in line is designed for its specific reader. Regardless the amount of true intel inside, everyone will see its own, and behind the lines, too.
In this case, I would suggest to actually personally investigate more about the situation from Russian's, Ukraine's, US's, and yours country government's side, without relying on "news" you seem to doing much, sorry. Please do consider the presence of Overton windows and opportunities to manipulate the flow of reader/nation decisions.
Politics rarely create friendships, if compared to business benefits in long term, unfortunately.
If news is so unreliable, the next thing is put your foot on the ground and visit the site and talk to people. Nobody have time for that, and i highly doubt you did any of that.
I did not ever initiate any such discussions, but expressed my opinions in comments only suggesting people to do their actual research. If they would, they would not say a word knowing how it's all unobvious and intervened, where every single action is done with utter seriousness of calculation of required political, social, economical outcomes.
Yes, I did step on fields, with numerous colleagues I share my gratitude, support, and love to. Please do stay safe, dear every single Hero...
This is me, relatively recently:
Still alive
Putin is responsible for the Iran war?
Putin is responsible of Trump having any kind of power. And many other kinds of destabilizations around the globe.
Also, he has continuously shown over the last decades that not following international law is a-ok.
Putin may even have allowed Trump to invade Iran, to increase oil prices to save the Russian economy.
Without Putin, the US wouldn't have invaded Iraq and wouldn't have created Guantanamo and wouldn't keep sanctioning Cuba. /s
Blaming Russia for American transgressions is a very sad display of dillusion. Take your time but try to face the possibility that those Facebook ads were a drop in the bucket of the CNN daily Trump bad news attention and the Fox News entertainment.
Thank you... heartfelt... for an actually mature and adequate attempt for rationalization of the state of events...
Unfortunately, it seems the propaganda and children raising through local movies and socials with history retelling is too deep... some just do not care and consume, sorry, what they got used to and were raised with - lies, to the point they deny anything unmatching.

Just like jizzrael.
all of this can be traced back to Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2014.
The US and Israel have been trying to topple the Iranian government since well before 2014. In fact, its the only remaining government on the seven countries in five years list.
yes, and the destabilization that has led to this opportunity can be traced back to Russia's invasion of UA in 2014.
Reasons I see that this happened now:
These are certainly not all direct results of Russia's meddling in Ukraine.
He invested $100,000 in Facebook ads which got Trump elected. /s And it's Trump who ordered the strike on Iran.
It's increadible how many people believe that Russia could outwit the US propaganda machine.
