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.

If you didn’t want to get robbed, why did you wear that expensive watch?
I though Russia was claiming they were attacking Nazis in Ukraine and that's why they went to war or something... I forget
Moronic mouthy bastard has no clue about 99% of what he says
He knows what he is saying. Putin's hand is so far up Trump's ass at this point that Trump is basically just a Russian puppet.
He is perfectly and unquestioningly following his owners commands, like any good dog. He just amplifies Putins position on this rape of another country 100%.
"if you didn't want to get raped, then why did you dress so provocatively?"
This is only kind of hyperbole, since Trump was actually convicted of raping a woman...
the same script russia uses, trump gets his orders from putin. its also " you're making me rape you"
Thought exercise: Which assassination would have more efficacy in the long term, trump, Vance or Musk?
Yes.
You know something's up when he makes reality-denying statements.
Because he can, it works and noone will take him accountable.
Look what you made me do
I'm sorry, baby. I still love your extractable minerals.
The abuser mantra
If Ukraine didn’t want to be invaded, it shouldn’t have dressed that way! Stupid sexy Ukraine.
Stupid sexy Flanders
It’s like wearing nothing at all! ….nothing at all! …..nothing at all!
Right? It’s such a ridiculous statement. You’d think the president were a serial rapist, or something.
Wait... he is, isn't he?
Sad times are these, when well-meaning jests have to be accompanied by /s, because reality is more insane than any joke you could ever imagine.
He's sucking up to his benefactor and handler Putin.
Leave it to the convicted rapist to blame the victim.
As always our glorious leader is correct in all things. /s
US intervening in Ukraine to purposely push and provoke Russia
US: "why would Ukraine do this???"
His ancestor should have drowned while emigrating
Either time, especially when draft dodging
Gosh, wherever could Trump be getting his Ukraine strategy from?
I can’t believe they told russia to invade them.
Crimea was an inside job!
and not one dome would have been knocked down
... what?
Does Ukraine also have those ornate, domed church designs like Russia?
Not quite like the one you're thinking of (St. Basil's in Moscow) but yes, these ones are just in Kyiv: https://www.erikastravels.com/the-churches-of-kiev/
Is he talking about the deliberate attack on Chernobyl recently?
