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.

Legitimate attacks or not, they will radicalize Russians more and provide fuel for Russia's propaganda machine in the same way that Russian attacks on Ukrainian schools, apartment complexes, hospitals, etc have stengthened Ukrainian resolve.
Using such attacks to destroy infrastructure, supply lines, etc to reduce Russian effectiveness at the frontlines seems fair enough to me, but using it as a psychological tool to convince Russians that they're on the wrong side is completely moronic imo and ignores a lot of historic evidence that terror just doesn't work that way.
Newsflash: business associates of rapists upset that they are being treated as business associates of rapists. Treating business associates of rapists like business associates of rapists will make the business associates of rapists upset.
Interesting to see that you choose to focus so much on the hurt and the pain. All I'm trying to say is that I don't think the psychological aspect is beneficial for Ukraine, rather the opposite...
It doesn't matter anymore friend. This is mutually assured destruction. Neither side is getting out of this fight ever again. In a thousand years if we haven't wiped our pitiful species off the face of the earth Russia will be fighting Ukraine, Israel will be fighting Palestine, and India will be fighting Pakistan. You get that right? This war doesn't end until Russia and Ukraine are both extinct. Putin has made it perfectly clear that radical or not he is not going to let Ukraine go. Ukraine will never live under Russian boots again, not while a single Ukrainian draws breath anywhere in the world. There is no win condition, it's just mindless violence now.
If that's your view of the world, then sure, it makes sense to bomb everything and cause as much death and destruction. I prefer a more positive view of the future though, happier life and all that
It's a pointless war that didn't have to happen. But it did, and millions of civillians are dead because of it. Until Russia leaves entirely, then there is no end to this. No peace.
