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.

Putin what about we fast forward to the point where you shoot yourself in a bunker? That would make everything better
Just like that Easter "truce" he offered?
Play the Uno Reverse! Push into Russian territory and annex as much of it as possible whine their forces are weakened
Putin must be losing ground in Belgorod?
Maybe Putin is realising that the Russian economy will break before Ukraine?
Obviously he's full of shit, but it's funny to note that because Ukraine currently has presence in Russia, stopping along the current front line would mean giving up Russian territory to Ukraine.
Kindly fuck off, Putin.
Translation:
Please don't press us, as we can't hold the line.
This really is a tremendous show of weakness… unless it’s a ploy somehow.
The ploy is that when Ukraine refuses it gives the US (Trump/Krasnov) an excuse to stop delivering military aid to Ukraine.
That makes a lot of sense.
Does Trump care about constructing justifications for his actions though? Seems like he enjoys shooting from the hip and, if ever in doubt, opts for strategies that will piss the most people off.
yea most likely they want to reduce local and global support to Zelensky by saying "look we offered peace but he did not take", of course they will likely offer some unacceptable terms.
When the aggressor is on his back foot, and looking to secure his gains by offering "peace," you keep fighting.
Get the fuck out of Ukraine, Vladimir Puto.
I did read right now, that a big depot of munition and bombs got blown up by Ukraine... Maybe he just wants to buy time?
what ever do you mean:
Go hit more ammo depots. double, triple tap this one just to be sure.
OK, we're out of bullets. Let's call it a draw?
You spelled 2014 lines wrong.
The borders set in 1994 are non-negotiable.
Absolutely, however it might be necessary to take some 10m strip of land on the Russian side to build a border wall to keep them from invading again in the future.
Fine if ukraine is now formally a European ally (full proper mutual defence)
Might be worth it, but Ukraine deserves it's territory returned.
Unfortunately “deserves” doesn’t work in international politics. Otherwise a certain someone would’ve slipped on a banana peel out of a window.
This would be at least a stable peace
Counter-offer, Vlad: Fuck aaaall the way off back to Russia, then "fall" out a window so someone else can get started on blaming you for everything going wrong and reverse all your horrific garbage.
Sound good?
Just another bait-and-switch, to dupe cantaloupe caligula into agreeing a "peace deal", which the US won't be able to enforce anyways. Moving on. This guys word is worth less than dirt anyways.
