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.

Russia: invades Ukraine
You: so the French are to blame for WW3
It seems so easy for you to pretend Ukraine's woes are simply nobody else's problem. I wonder how many apologists talked the same way about Crimea.
A sad backwards gas station's economic interest was threatened. I understand that taking in economic, geopolitical and societal reasons into account is much more effort, but think outside of the Simple World of Conspiracy box.
Ukraine:
russia was:.
Now. Imagine what is the biggest threat to an authoritarian state
A country that is about to have better prospects of living and roaring GDP, and you dont have to learn another language to migrate! Ukraine. Nextdoors
And what is an Imperialistic Nazi cunt idea other than to start a war? It worked for centuries!
Ukraine, in 2014 was where Poland was in 1990.
Poland had THE SAME problems Ukraine has now. Because of russia, mind you.
Poland had a society that wanted change. Poland joined NATO. Joined EU. And 30 years later has a booming GDP and fastest transformation in Europe.
In 30 years from now, fossil fuels are to be NOT used. The main reason russia has ANY sway and and ANY GDP - gas and oil.
If French wanted to do that, they would be in Ukraine by now. But no, Macron is talking about Odessa and Kyiv, i.e. about very unrealistic targets as of today.
There's been reports of Odessa being attacked with some type of long range explosive.
If you've been paying attention to the fronts, those usually indicate that Russia is putting boots on the ground soon.
Russia needs to close Ukrainian access to the sea. They're losing too many ships to the sea drones. They need to take Odessa to win.
It would be the biggest escalation in this war since the second invasion of 22.
Russia has been using long range weapons for 2 years against targets all across Ukraine, including its Western border. So this is simply false:
But you would know that if you were:
But you clearly weren't. Russia can't do anything with Odessa, they spend months to take mere villages. And by take I mean destroy them.
Why the instant hostility? This isn't reddit. Calm down

Ever heard of the cold war? West and Russia have been attacking each others for a century. Most countries in the world are ruled by corrupted mentally hill politicians competing each others for world domination
What cold war has to do with the objective fact that Russia invaded Ukraine?
Perhaps something with the objective fact that usa and the west have been operating military in ukraine for the past decade
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/25/world/europe/cia-ukraine-intelligence-russia-war.html
Are you trying to blame USA for the objective fact that Russia invaded Ukraine? Lol.
Learn history
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_War
The west and russia have been attacking each others for a century, both blocks are rigged, USA and Russia are both ruled by corrupted murderer mentally hill politicians who crave for wealth and power
You keep typing "mentally hill," is that how you say that term?
History is history, it studies the past. On the 24 of February Putin appeared on television, said that he was about to invade Ukraine, and then we saw Russian rockets hitting Ukrainian cities and tanks crossing the border between two countries. You need a lot of desire to ignore facts in order to blame USA or anyone else for what's happening.

A CIA presence does not give Russia the right to invade a sovereign nation, start a war of extermination.
Nothing does
It has everything to do with it. Ukraine was part of the USSR. NATO was created to counter the USSR. After it broke up and NATO remained they started adding more to the alliance. The alliance crept closer and closer to Russia. If Ukraine joined NATO then that would be the greatest threat to Russia. They don't trust the west.
The alliance didn't creep closer, nations that were previously Soviet colonies flocked to it and used every trick in the book to be allowed into it as soon as possible. This is what national sovereignty looks like. All of this is Russia's fault and they are to blame for it. They and their sycophants have no right to complain about it.
