A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
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.

So... Let me check I get this right on the timeline.
America Europe Ukraine meet, agree to a 30 day ceasefire. Agree this tests if Russia is serious about ending the war. Putin gobbs off, surrender or die.
Categorical that Russia is not serious about ending the war.
Next steps boys
Trump gets angry how his perfect plan fails, calls for sanctions and increased weapon delivered to Ukraine of of spite.
Or he sulks in the corner focuses on his trade war and bans media outlets that point out how terrible is at negotiation.
Man, what a peace-loving guy! Damn Ukraine for not stopping the war! >:/
Ukraine shouldn't have started it by wanting to be independent of Russia.
Edit: do I really need to add /s?
Ukraine asked for it. By the way she dressed. If Ukraine didn't want to be invaded, she should have just kept an aspirin between her knees
Accept that there are those lurking here whos only purpose is to downvote good and accurate content. So for the real lemmy users, no you don't have to add it. For the ones who are only here to stir up trouble. Why bother.
Europe, I hope y'all are doing the whole "speak quietly and carry a big stick."
Because if Putin steam rolls Ukraine, he's not stopping there, and now he has the US government under his control too.
If Europe really wanted to stop Russia, they would've sent armies into Ukraine.
"We don't want to escalate because it might start WW3!"
But Putin is going to attack you guys anyways when he's done with Ukraine.
"Yes, but this is the rhetoric dumbasses have been told to peddle so that's what we're doing!"
I still remember when people said Ukraine shouldn't mine its border because it would be seen as "escalation." Funny how the wrong-crowd always scatters like roaches after the damage is done.
They have scheduled a committee meeting to decide where to plant the tree from which they might someday get big sticks.
Bro, you don't even have the strongest army inside of Russia.
For anyone not reading the article he is specifically talking about any troops Ukraine has left in the Kursk region as there has been a general pullback into Ukraine from Kursk in the last few days. This is not about the wider peace negotiations.
For anyone not reading the article
ie. everybody in the thread
Strange because the actual title of the article mentions that fact. it appears the link seeks to make it as clickbaity as possible.
Yeah. I didn't like that. I don't like Putin but misinfo isn't going to help.
Fucking war criminal.
Trump was supposed to end this war in a day. Has it been a day yet?
TBF he never specified which day.
Funny how Putin offers "mercy" while bombing hospitals. His dictionary must define peace as "total submission."
🐱🐱
He wants peace btw
He cherishes peace with all of his heart. He doesn't care how many men, women and children he kills to get it
Its wild to think that when this started I was not married and my now wife then girlfriend was still in college. Time flies. Aside from that, what the fuck putin?
Probably important to note that in American English, college refers to tertiary education ('university' elsewhere)
I'm amazed he's offering "Surrender or die", I figured he'd pull an Israel and go "Surrender AND die"
They say 'or', then they act out 'and'.
Eat shit, Putin .
That’s not a mutually exclusive or
Putin really meant, "Surrender AND die".
After reading this article, I have to say that the headline/image are pretty misleading. He was talking about Kursk, the region of Russia that Ukraine invaded: he said it’s back under Russian control and the Ukraine forces there are surrounded. Then he said they have two options: surrender or die.
I’m not defending Putin here. Just that he’s evil enough without actually taking things out of context to twist what actually happened into some clickbait headline.
Hey Putin, wanna hear a funny story?
In the words of The Dread Pirate Roberts: "Death First!"
Putin must surrender or die
I'd love to fly that drone that does the job
😁
