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. 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.
-
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.

Russia doesn't stand a chance.
Sure, they can try, but their soldiers are still asshole humans at the end of the day.
If they manage to occupy Ukraine they'll probably win the warcrime game but yea currently they can just torture and kill POWs and try to bomb civilians from far away. At the start of the war they were definitely winning on war crimes with the civilian mass graves.
I think what Russia is banking on is the rise of the global far-right, where the newly emerging far-right will remove "political correctness" from war, and also Russia is pretty infamous for information control, so they can just say "Ukronazis did it" or something like that until everyone accepts that as a hard fact.
Look, the Russians are the mike Tyson of war crimes. Even 'boxing isnt shit' guys who are serious fighters are nervous stepping into the ring with him, even in his twilight years. Russia is absolutely a warcrimer for the history books.
But kapostan is the 'Bruce Lee and Mohammed Ali did some anime shit and are somehow the same guy now, and have spikey blond hair for some fucking reason' of war crimes. They're just the best. They do nothing else. It is their whole being; they are pure uncut atrocity.
Nice try Nazi fuck.
For saying Russians will never be as good at warcrimes as the Zionist place, or for saying Russian soldiers are assholes?
See I don't even know what the people who wrote the bots are trying to discourage me from saying when they baselessly call me a Nazi anymore.
It's like those Russian policemen arresting that lady who went to red square to support the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Everyone's a Nazi unless they repeat the propaganda like parrots, and even then...
Fascism doesn't stop killing. You flatten the territory to match the map (with killing) and then you make a simpler map, which is now simpler than the territory...
Fucking Kurt Gödel proved it can't work.
