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.

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.
Sure, let's do that.
no mention of the word "headline"
no mention of the word "headline"
no mention of the word "headline"
huh
yeah, not engaging in your gish gallop
no
no, and that's not what Von der Leyen said either.
That's your wishful thinking based on incorrect understanding. Again, don't blame others for your illiteracy.
There was discussion back in 2022 about what can and can't be achieved with sanctions. And it was constantly reiterated that it would take years to have major economic impacts as Russia wears out industrial machinery beyond its useful lifetime, and burns through its substantial monetary reserves. The only short term hope was that the Russian elite would have more power and force Putin's hand to protect their wealth.
So if you were one of the idiots who didn't listen back then that it would take years, and then misinterpreted every clickbait headline as a factual statement about the immediate collapse of the Russian economy that's on you. Maybe stick to simpler topics.
Since you're still on about this, yes, I admit I was wrong about this.
I assumed you were informed on the subject matter and were "just asking questions" to push an agenda.
But turns out you were trying to employ the Socratic method. Which requires a deep understanding of the subject matter, which of course you lack. You're just an idiot who doesn't understand how economies work and who takes clickbait headlines as fact.
Me accusing you of "just asking questions" was giving you orders of magnitude more credit than you deserve.
You’re still wrong.
I am informed. You are not. That was immediately obvious due to your dumb question, which is why I started probing you.
And nice “no u”. But you keep forgetting you haven’t made a single valid point in this entire discussion.
You can’t admit it and you’re just too arrogant for your own intelligence. Donald fucking Trump would have made a better discussion partner. I have become dumber with every comment you’ve made.
reading clickbait headlines isn't being informed.
You wouldn't notice one of it hit you in the face. Except maybe if it came with a clickbait headline.
