World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

Peace deals are great and everything. But at this point, with Russia's proven record of reneging on agreements and general fuckery, the primary focus should be on protecting Ukraine, Poland, etc without any cooperation from the US, and ramping up resources and military expertise for Ukraine.
I would say getting Ukraine into NATO should be a massive priority too, but that's dead in the water with Trump effectively having veto power. So if anything it's time to accept that NATO as we know it is dead, and to form a replacement organization featuring Europe (including the UK), Canada, and maybe Mexico.
NATO is dead. Create WDO (World defense organization) and get rid of the ability for a single nation to veto actions. So tired of the US or Russia vetoing meaningful actions at the UN or NATO. We need to avoid making that same mistake.
The permanent veto holding members of the security council are specifically those countries capable of starting a nuclear conflict. Those vetos are expressly for reducing the risk of that happening. Not saying the world can't do better today, but let's remember why it is the way it is.
World Police?
Unironically yes. Nations shouldn’t invade other nations and there should be a world organization to defend nations when that happens. And the US should no longer have “favored son” status within it.
Global Defense Initiative (GDI)
Russias foreign assets all need to be progressively liquidated and relinquished until they fuck off, and then backstabbed and all sold regardless of any deal so they understand what happens when they fuck around with any further dirty tricks going forward. Any plane containing Puttin needs to be shot on site and sight like they did recently to that Azjerbain passenger plane. Literally a terrorist mafia state that needs to be spanked to death
I think the UK at least has talked about putting troops on the ground as part of a peace deal which is huge.
