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 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.

Putin is the internet troll of the world. He knows what to say to get a reaction out of everyone. He uses the other, dumber trolls to up his troll game. Everything coming out of Russia needs to be seen this way. There's no "dialog" or just plain information. It's all ragebait.
Remember when their foreign minister said Zelenskyy - a Jew - is a nazi? That was the final💡moment for me. But they've been doing it for much longer.

there's plenty of nazi jews in Israel, so what gives?
I bet some of the five eyes folks got copies of the Epstein files, someone should just drop them
I'm not sure Donald is aware that Russia borders the Arctic and China is right there, and that the USA does have possession of Alaska.
What gets me is this claim that Russia or China is going to take the island. First of all the U.S. has the strongest military in the world, stealth bombers that still can't be caught, the largest Navy, the best logistics, and you know all those nukes. Add to that the fact that we're (at the time of writing) a member of NATO and if Greenland was attacked by Russia or China it wouldn't be just the U.S. it would also be all NATO members. The whole argument is just a dumb as the mouth they're coming out of.
And yes I know it's really about controlling future sea lanes, drilling for under sea oil, and mining minerals.... and satisfying, maybe for a day, trump's greed.
You never defeat them were they're strong. It'll be hundreds of Chinese drones swarming targets instead of doing a frontal attack.
