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.
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 wants to take over Europe. You're okay with that?
And how do you imagine that?
Tales of Putin willing to take over Europe are straight up fearmongering. Most countries in Europe are part of NATO and subject to mutual defense clause. Ukraine is not, which us why it was possible to attack it in the first place (and which is why it desperately wants in).
Attacking any of the NATO countries is straight up suicidal.
Please do not let hysteria sift into your brain, for this is the very thing corrupt politicians use to do terrible things.
No. But I don’t want to fight a war that’s not mine. Every single time when a war is starting there are people that suddenly get warlike AF wanting to kill every Russians. You just don’t know what you’re talking about, you feel like doing it because it feels good being the ‘savior’ but you’re just delusional
It sure will be yours when it gets to your doorstep.
He's being very short-sighted, as if Ukraine was the final step to this war.
I don't even know that there is a final step for Putin. Just endless conquest. Good thing he's not very good at it so far.
Any corrupted politician dream is to take over other countries, western politicians wet dream is to take over russia too.
Unlike corrupted politicians i do not support putin, i don't have pictures shaking hands with him and laughing, i don't have mutual friends with him, i don't have a boat parked in the same dock next to his, i don't have business associations with him and i didn't sign weapons deals with russia a bunch of years ago like many EU countries did.
Which ones? Please show evidence.
And you don't have to like Putin to support him. All you have to do is do what you're doing and be okay with him taking over Ukraine. To begin with.
I do not support putin, the ukrainian government or any other corrupted politician. If you do talk for yourself and not for others. I support freedom and justice, always and for everyone. You do not fight for freedom arming and empowering villains and dictatorships.
Except in Ukraine since you aren't interested in helping them be free.
Are you aware that since 2022 any male between 18 and 60 can't leave the country and will be arrested if they try to do so? Are you aware that your own government is in business partnership with countries like china who also supply russia in the war?
First of all, you don't know what my government is because I never told you. It might be China for all you know.
Secondly, your "they are not free now due to the war, so it's okay if Putin takes over their country and they lose their freedom in perpetuity" argument is a poor one.
You seem to be confusing russia with saudi arabia or other dictatorships around the world the west is totally fine with. As far as i'm aware russian can leave their country if they want to.
Unless you live on mars or an unknown island i do not need to know where you live to tell your government is corrupted, all governments are. If you don't think so you are free to provide an example of a government that isn't ruled by corrupted politicians and that never beat its own people.
Cool. I was talking about Ukraine, where you think there is no freedom and Russia is liberating them.
Is the concept of wartime conscription that new to you?
Yes, you've already made it clear that you think Ukraine should be Russian territory, thanks.
they didn't say that.
No corrupted politician or government will help people free themself from other politicians, only people themself can do that
I'm pretty sure that's what Ukraine is trying to do... and they want help.
Sending weapons to the corrupted and authoritarian ukrainian government so that they can fight a proxy war against russia is not helping ukrainian people
The alternative is that Russia takes over Ukraine. Is that what you want?
You seem to be brainwashed by propaganda into believing that not sending weapons to a dictatorship means you are helping another one. Your government seem fine with russia taking over ukraine otherwise they probably would stop their partnerships with china who is providing russia weapons.
What do you think Ukraine would look like without help? There would be thousands of massacres like in Bucha and that's just the start.
hundreds of soldiers are dying daily in what is being known as a meat grinder. The world overall would look much better if nations and their corrupted leader hadn't spent public money to build weapons over the past centuries.
No politician and faction want peace, they want war, they profit on war, elites to not fight their wars they send other people to die
