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.

Ukraine is doing math here. If they stop, trump may be seen as peace maker and wins votes. Trump is a putin ally basically at this point. If they go on they weaken their enemy AND may shift elections to a more moderate candidate in the US by elevated gas prices.
Of course this could go tits up if they lose international support. Destruction of northstream might have helped anti ukraine parties rise in germany. But regarding infrastructure inside russia i think they can only win.
Lol at the idea of Germany giving up on Ukraine, they will deserve the Russian invasion at that point if they do
Isn't AfD the largest party in Germany now? They're pro-Russia
Hmmm let me take two seconds to google this
Unfortunately Germans tend to get very dense when it gets to some political stuff. 🌝
Some simply don’t get what is so controversial about building Nordstream in the first place and how it undermines their independence (and I don’t just mean energy independence).
They have Gerhard Schröder as a clearest example of someone given a share in Russian gas sales, but Nordstream is just “two countries doing business, is buying energy from France also undermining our independence?”.
At this point?
At what point wasn't he?
I hate to give him some small credit, but they have sent weapons and intelligence even during this term, even if it has been up and down.
Have they though?

He said weapons and intelligence
Your source is talking about humanitarian aid
The Trump administration stopped humanitarian aid, but is still supplying weapons and intelligence most of the time
Yes, they have sent intelligence and yes, they have sent weapons even if they haven't paid for them themselves. The USA was doing much more before, but it could be much worse with them restricting access to their military industrial complex.
So lets be real about what they still do and allow, Ukraine would be in more trouble without access to e.g. new Patriot missiles. But without forgetting about the USA being unreliable, untrustworthy and treacherous to point of it not supporting its own allies.
Wow that is just... Uncanny...
