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.

I feel like Ukraine has already made a perfectly reasonable offer. "GTFO of our country and then we'll stop exploding your stuff." Russia needs to take that deal.
Trump's getting crafty here. All these comparisons between him and Hitler, so he changes it up and plays Neville Chamberlain instead.
Is this the summit where even Fox News admitted Putin "steamrolled" Trump?
What a useless “peacemaker” Trump is.
He can't make peace with his own wife, what makes people think he can make peace on the world stage?
Piece-maker
Perfect answer would be:
USA is a very big power, and Vietnam is not.
Trump is a very big moron, and Zelensky is not.
Trump is such a moron, many countries have pledged continued support to Ukraine, and USA is less relevant to the war now than they ever were. USA is not even the main weapons supplier anymore, even with purchases of American weapons to Ukraine by NATO allies.
Trump has very little weight in these matters by his own design.
I am so happy that just this week, I found great alternatives to 2 American products an amplifier and new PSU for my computer. I would have bought if it wasn't because I have a near total boycott of American products and services. The only exception is if there 100% isn't any useful non US alternative, and it's something that is important to my quality of life.
The great dealmaker says someone else should make the deal....
"It was determined by all* that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a Peace Agreement…
*EXCEPT ONE OF THE PARTIES DIRECTLY INVOLVED
That’s kind of important, Donny.
He’s torn down long standing relationships with his allies but everyone expects him to make a deal to stop the war between Russia and Ukraine!? Have we all lost our minds!? 🤯
Nobody expects him to make a deal, but he loves being in the spotlight (when the topic isn’t Epstein-related).
But yes, apparently we HAVE lost our minds, because nobody’s impeached him yet.
