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.

South probably never planned to, but soon they could invade and unify the country, which would also stop North troops to be sent to Ukraine. 🤔
SK doesn't even want to look at the mess that's going on at the North of their border.
Probably the only actual boon from unification would be a bit more of mountainous frigid space and lots of rocky coast.
Because unfucking what's been going on for the last eighty-odd years would make Germany's unification a Disney holiday.
I'm sure not having a crazy government with nukes and artillery pointed at their capital would be a non-trivial benefit.
That is, for their government, a perk. While your people are worried about their neighbors, they do not stop and consider if you're doing a good job.
They seem to be handling their budding despots a bit better than certain other places.
So you asume Rocketboy also sent the units tasked with operating his nuclear arsenal to Ukraine?
NK has about 1,300,000 active duty military personell and another 7 million reservists. They are unfortunately not going to run out any time soon.
Yeah but we just found out they're terrible at it.
serious about this but ukraine should play kpop and korean soap operas over speakers. Maybe put up blankets with projectors playing them to.
Sounds like the perfect oportunity to... attack NK
Joking, nukes...
Unless
They might as well toss them out of an airplane onto hard pavement with no parachute.
They could ask the Russian VDV about that, they allegedly dropped 50 paratroopers in the Black Sea at the start of the invasion.
Ukraine could help NK with free fertilizer now that I think about it. Every few hours they would have a plane dropping ruzzians as required.
