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.

Well, clean tech isn’t in the US list anymore, so don’t count it in.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but thankyou, CCP.
Good fuck everyone here
I despise the fucking CCP and PLA, but shoving this move up Krasnov's ass is a good one.
It will be interesting to see if Canada allies with China
Much like how Vietnam was allied with the US because of the giant military on their doorstep
All this instability has me direly worried about what will happen if China invades Taiwan. Like, if we think it's bad now, an invasion of Taiwan would grind our systems to a halt.
Bro I'm just wondering if it will be a Kurdish style diplomatic capitulation or a Ukrainian style meatgrinder. The moral of the story is that if you're a US ally you get fucked. The question is simply how hard
What US allies are left?
Russia and North-Korea.
Greenland, Ukraine, Canada: all of Trump's actions make sense if you consider that he wants to secure rare earth minerals for... someone
Trump & Putin are committed to DESTROYING the hated EU between a pincer of Putin + butchered-Eastern-Europe & Trump + butchered Canada & Greenland.
THEN they get to be the only "kings" ruling the remains of the West, until they die.
They're narcissist-nihilists, as all "mass shooters" are: they're just committing their "mass shooting" through legislations, & hitting entire populations with what they're firing, legislatively.
Pay attention to the fact that the woke EU is competing against both of them for world-significance AND doing-so with anti-Putin/Trump values.
Canada & Greenland stand in the way, that is all, except for the wealth that Trump would gain, through claiming it as his new-possession of the US.
Destroying the EU, though, that'd be "priceless" to them..
No more competitor!!
This will only encourage him to go after Greenland even harder. He thinks they are the solution to having "rare earth."
Without China as a supplier, and thinking Greenland is the solution, it will justify an armed attack on Greenland in his empty cranium.
The base we maintain in Greenland has about 150 people. My prediction is that he will start sending troops to the base to build up a force, and start intimidating Greenland/Denmark.
Pikachu O face
Bet the US is suddenly going to buy these minerals out of Russia. Bet one of Trump's children or in-laws indirectly owns a exporting company in Russia.
