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.

Greenland, no sane American wants to take your country from you. Sorry our "president" sucks. He's an idiot. Or malignant narcissistic sociopath.
He doesn't want Greenland for itself.
He wants it as a military-base for destroying the EU from.
Same as why he wants Canada smashed/consumed.
Between Putin & Trump, then they can DESTROY the hated-by-them EU, & be "kings" of the whole world.
This isn't "politics as usual", this is TOTAL annihilation-of-civil-rights from the world, & Project 2025 is only the "appetizer" for what's coming down the shute onto the world next..
_ /\ _
Or, most likely, both.
Yeah, so regardless if the US actually does it or not, if I was Denmark and Canada, I would be investing heavily in defending territories marked by Putin.
It's so weird that Putin would communicate his plan with Trump, but at least he did it and the rest of the world can predict what he will do next.
If Putin gains control of Canada and Greenland, the Artic becomes his "Panama Canal."
Ukraine gives him more control over the black sea.
He's trying to take control of trade routes.
It's actually worse than that:
With Trump+Musk smashing Canada & Greenland,
THEN Trump & Putin can DESTROY the hated-by-them EU, & butcher ALL of Europe,
making them the exclusive "kings" of the still-functioning world.
It isn't subjugation they want, it is destruction.
Than crowd of protestors is basically half of Greenland's population...

As a Louisiana resident disgusted with what’s happening I make a solemn promise to the people of Greenland and Canada: when it gets below 40°F (4°C, 277K, 500° Rankine, etc.), I will just lay down and die before I fight someone. I was in Montreal in February once and I would have surrendered immediately had someone said the POW camp has mittens.
You'll lie down and die in shorts and a hoodie weather?
No. I’ll be unjustifiably confident and maybe I’ll live or die. But there’s actually a difference between regular cold and cold that hurts even if you’re wearing fancy pants.
Most Excellent! I'd love to come visit Your Country sometime soon.
