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.

Who gives a fuck? Fuck trump
So fucking sick of this Russian traitor in office.
maybe muricans should live on mars?
US: "You guys need to be more responsible for your own security."
Europe: Takes a stronger stance on Ukraine.
US: "No...not like that..."
The whole world is fed up of the trump admin.
Regime, not admin.
Sorry my mistake..
Get it right or we will lock you up.... /s...hoping /s........shit are they coming for me?
Because they want leverage on those rare earths. If others are providing aid, the us loses that leverage. Glad Europe is not playing along. Fuck trump's US.
Blyat!
Glad he’s tired. We all sure are tired as hell of his bullshit
Other sources have reported that the Trump administration has approached some European country with the reqest to stop supporting Ukraine.
The request was rejected.
what a shitler thing to do.
What an odd thing to say
The point is to give Russia the advantage and turn the countries of Europe all into vazal states to rule over them like an emperor. EU really doesn't like that plan of course.
"We don't want to be involved in Ukraine anymore"
"Ok, we'll take care of it then..."
"... Hey, don't do that!"
It's not that they don't want to be involved, it's that they don't want Ukraine to win, otherwise they wouldn't care about Europe defending it.
Worse, they want not just Ukraine but Europe to actively lose. The destruction of the EU is the goal.
It's not that they don't care about Ukraine, it's that his handler wants to take Ukraine and Donnie Krasnov is pushing that agenda.
Good good, carry on!
How do you square cleaning up Europe’s mess in one thread with Yemen and knocking them down for actively defending Ukraine in another?
You know guys, I’m starting to think these morons just hate Europe.
You don't. They're led by a demented rapist. Again.
If the USA is gonna be a prick, then I propose we give Russia and China EUV technology in exchange for peace in Ukraine.
What kind of moronic idea is this? How does giving away the most coveted technology help Europe in any way?
For one, we already give it away. The biggest customers of ASML are not European as it is.
Second, it will bring in billions for the European economy and it will allow ASML to better hold its leading position in the long-term, since China won't need to compete with ASML. That's beneficial for the European economy
Third, how does it hurt us?
Europa Universalis V confirmed?
Remember when Trump wanted Europe to pay for more of its own defense? Now they are fed up with them paying for more of their own defense.
Did daddy putin tell baby trump to throw a tantrum?
Normalize calling it “the Republican administration”. It’s not just one person it’s a fetid mass of enablers.
And let them be upset. What are they going to do: withdraw support and start an ill-advised trade war? That’s already happened. That’s what being “a friend” of the US gets you.
Regime
Sure. Just as long as responsibility isn’t allowed to be hung on just one person.
Junta?
That's usually for after the military coup
Ah. So a month or two to go on that then.
When the goose step marching happens. Probably around Heir Drumphkins birthday.
The Republican regime.
It’s a regime. It’s adopting a behavior and format that we’ve seen before in other places. One of those places was Germany during the 1930s and 40s, and the regime started with “N” and ended with “azi” (or if you want to be more formal about it, ended with “ationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei”).
But there’s also notes of Khmer Rouge on the back of the palate, considered how firmly anti-intellectual our regime is now, and how they’re attacking (figuratively, but I expect literally at some point, after the insurrection act gets invoked against “gang members”, considering orangeboi’s temperment and Gorka’s commentary from a day or two ago).
Oh no the nazis dont like us .... . anyway
Not so much anyway when the Nazis have nukes and drools over your territory
We have our own
Some do
If the Nazis don’t like you, you’re doing something right.
Until you get disappeared to a gulag.
Well, if you end up in a gulag you either did something right or not enough.
It's not an administration, it's a regime. Call it what it is
It's a coup d'état.
Seems like a very odd thing for an American to be upset about.
Well, most of us don't have video evidence of us having sex with an underage girl. Girls. Lots of girls.
That's a selling point for conservatives.
coughs in Russian
Good you fucking tyrant baby.
