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.

When the "peace talks" consist of Trump getting orders from his owner Putin, neither Ukraine nor Europe will be involved.
They also won't result in anything other than US disengagement. Ukraine won't surrender just because Trump says so. And neither will Poland and the Baltic states, and because of that the EU as a whole won't.
It won't even end the war. It'll just make America look weak.
Trump used to be Putin's apprentice, now he has enough assumed-power that he can boss Putin around, even with whatever it is that Putin's got on him.
The relationship is reversing, if not already-reversed.
Trump's spoken admiration of Putin's openly murdering anyone who gets in his way is still not-yet-tested, in the US, but it is going to be, within 5y.

( there won't be any 2028 election, which would be to remove Trump, so US Civil War Part2 begins -/+ 1y of 2028, roughly.
as Catholics say: "dog in the manger-ism": if he can't possess the US of A, exclusively, then NOBODY can, & he'll make-certain that, like Assad, there's simply nothing-left of it, when he can't )
Voters had their chance, & they decided they weren't responsible, so, .. they won't have the right-to-vote in the future.
Trump did promise his followers that they wouldn't have to vote, anymore..
Trump's rising, Putin's becoming helpless, as Trump & China own/control more & more & more in-spite-of Putin's dwindling power, it seems..
China wants Russia to be just a decorative cloth glove on CCP's fist, or a vassal-state.
Modi, in India, bet the farm on Russia's protecting India from China..
both got played, & lost.
Exactly as Russia spending money on North Korean troops who haven't even got the competence to avoid being out in the open ( & therefore they keep just getting shot ) was another surprise for Russia..
I think it was China who put Putin up to the televised/advertised teleconference-between-China-&-Russia when Trump's inaugeration was going-on: that was a slap-in-the-face to Trump, putting Putin down.. which was to China's advantage..
Russia may be only a puppet-nation, now, for Trump & China, with a few more months of work..
( think of how it would be to China's advantage to have "Russia" butchering-up Eastern Europe, taking the blame, weakening NATO, etc, so that when the real push-comes-to-shove, all that has been settled in BRICS's favor, with Russia bearing the blame, NOT China.. disposable puppet-nations are useful, in the game of geopolitics )
