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.
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.

Everyone on the planet needs to send the same message to Russia: Your warm water ports in Crimea will be useless, drones would just sink your fleet each year.
Same for any mining minerals operations you managed to set up. The prize you're trying to capture is no longer worth keeping it. Go home.
The change in the nature of war has made the spoils into liabilities. Drones will keep the world's borders set for some time now.
Putin cannot keep the Russian economy going without spending a lot of money on weapons, he has no way back.
Not even sure Russia has the capability to even fire anything long range at this point. Not even from Ukranian attacks, just from being fucking worthless. That being said... better safe than sorry. Not much more to fear than a cornered sociopath with nothing left to lose. Willing to take themselves down if it means even hurting you too. Not to mention the fact that Russian weapons might not work... but American ones do.
They managed to build and launch ICBMs with '50s technology, I'm sure they could still scrape enough together to ruin everybody's day
They dont show any signs of wanting to slow down their conquest. I bet they have more firepower waiting.
Not even in the days of the cold war there was remotely enough bunker capacity for everyone. What for anyway? Want to spend the next 100 or 1000 years in a subterranean hole? Good luck with that. Waste of money and resources but probably just the pipe dreams of some beaurocrat in a mostlly irrelevant institution.
What are you even going on about? This is about bomb shelters, not fallout shelters that you're expected to live in for decades.
The article says they want enough to shelter a million people, “everyone” isn’t the goal
Great plan. Even better than I thought.
