Global News
What is global news?
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

Russia joined the Ukrainian civil war on the morally correct side
Which the CIA said was going to happen if NATO kept expanding back in 2009
Putin is just about the most liberal man in Russia, his politics are indistinguishable from Angela Merkel. If he was ever deposed you would find out what a real hardliner looks like. The Russian people's biggest complaint about him is that he's too soft and too willing to suck up to the west, and this war could have been avoided entirely if he intervened in 2014 and restored Ukraine's democratically elected government - but he didn't, because he and his oligarch friends so desperately want to export gas and minerals to Europe that they believed every lie that the satanically racist EU and US told them.
I think even Biden said Russia wouldn't stay quiet if NATO expanded Eastward
Funny thing, especially that russia has huge problem with neonazi groups. Of course Ukraine has the same problem.

Also Russia is funding far right wing groups in meeting to neonazis from whole world.

There's no such thing. Ukraine wanted to escape from russian imperialism, don't be a slave to already poor country that doesn't respect human rights and legalize domestic violence (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/feb/07/putin-approves-change-to-law-decriminalising-domestic-violence). And Ukraine has full rights to do so, and get closer to Europe.
Dude, im from Poland, post east block country. don't get me wrong, maybe you're from west Europe or other part of the world, but in the east Europe we really don't want to get back to soviet era, and be exploited by russian oligarchs. Thousands of Ukrainians, Belarusians and also people from Russia was coming to Europe and Poland to work here, and to get better life. People from Ukraine, Belarus and so on can see how countries like Poland, Czech Republic, Baltic Countries are progressing and getting richer, people getting more rights, corruption is going down (comparing to soviet era), and they also want in.
NATO is a very problematic organization, and at least for our region (east Europe) we might not like to be a part of. But then we have russian imperial dreams on the east, and right wing putins propagandists saying that "these lands belongs to russian oligarchs". So russia is the one that is pushing countries to join NATO.
This is not CIA action or shit, Russia is well known for it's imperialism and authoritarian right wing regime that wants to control everyone's life. And Russia is also known for exploiting their allies. Finland is the best example. Quite rich country, independent for so may years, but after russian imperialistic restart in Europe, Finland decided to join NATO. Do you understand why?
Yuck, imperialistic propaganda about how "putin is nice and liberal and cool", dude Israel already tried it with Netanyahu and still everyone knows that he is a criminal. Putin is in the same situation. You cannot take far right wing authoritarian leader, and pretend that he is so cool and fun.
This was could have been avoided if russian imperial regime would not attack Ukraine.
