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.

And none of those said that Russia's economy had reached its limits, as you claim.
"looking ahead"
"in time"
And
That one just says that the car industry is falling apart, which was true and the auto industry is now pretty much dead.
A Russian businessman worried about his wealth, really?
So the article you linked doesn't say what you think it says and links to articles cherry picking quotes to pretend they are saying something they don't.
LOL you really don’t handle being wrong very well, do you?
None of the sources you quoted say what you claim they do and I'm wrong?
Just go away.
In your extremely biased mind where a parallel reality exists they indeed didn’t claim what they claimed.
Good boy
I guess only in my biased mind is a prediction about the future a statement about the present.
Learn about the flow of time.
Only in your mind is a statement not a statement…
And at the same time a statement is a question…
And maybe there are some flying pink elephants around there, who knows, there appears to be a lot of room.
Aye flying, or will fly?
Since you can't distinguish present from future
Bonus from same article:
…
…
…
(Editor’s note: it is now 2026)
Ok? Cherry picking much?
That's not the conclusion they reached, is it? That's the observation they're making upon which they base their conclusions. The conclusion they all reached is that it will have major impacts at some undefined point in the future. But that is inconvenient for the point you're trying to make.
And Deripaska, still, really? He only cares about his own pockets.
And I guess the editor is so far up his own ass, that he didn't realize Russia has been in a recession since end of 2025?
LOL, these are literally in the titles of the articles. Except for the bonus one, which is the last sentence, in the last paragraph of the one with the headline.
You won’t stop trying, will you? Hilarious man!
Is a recession the same as being out of money?
And I thought questions were forbidden…
My condolences for having been in a coma for 20 years.
Here a development that happened to media while you were out to help your media literacy catch up to 2026
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clickbait
Hahaha so let me get this straight:
I said I will believe it when I see it, since I have seen people say things like the headline of this article for years
You: nah you haven’t.
I show you a bunch of headlines saying things like the headline of this article.
And your defense is: “click bait exists” ??
Hahahahaha just when I thought you couldn’t get any dumber –or more entertaining
no you didn't. Don't lie.
Also I never replied to that comment of yours, I commented to your Von der Leyen quote which you implied to be incorrect.
lol you dumbass read my initial comment on this article.
Yep, it was wildly premature to claim such a thing. And the data afterwards of the Russian economy hanging on for years have shown that.
Guess what I quoted above you illiterate clown
So you finally answered my initial question, amazing. Took for fucking ever.
No her claim was factual, dumbass.
You just read "will drain Russia's economy" and understand "will immediately lead to a meltdown of Russia's economy"
Don't blame others for your illiteracy
Mate, you’ve shown time and time again that you don’t understand what is said.
Don’t quote it. Read it.
Ahhhh, so you were… how you say it… “just asking questions”?
And how many questions of mine have you not answered. My question to you was the answer dumbass. You could have figured it out for yourself. The sanctions were intended to drain the economy so much that Russia couldn’t continue fighting
And yes, she was wrong, as they were at their third sanction package at the time of that statement. They needed 17 (!) more to add on top of those. So no, those three packages in 2022 were not in fact draining the economy.
Also, what you don’t get is the simple fact it was just one example. I’ve shown you a whole bunch more after that which you tried and failed to pick apart.
So yeah, I think you’re still very much the dumbass here :)
Sorry, better go look for that pink flying elephant up there.
