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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

You can't fire reality.
Megalomaniacs like Putin genuinely think they can. Same reason why Trump is destroying global warming research and tried to dictate the path of a hurricane with a sharpie.
I cannot believe these fucking dorks are speed-running a second Soviet collapse. It hasn’t even been 40 years yet.
And all the while Krasnov in the White House is speed running a similar collapsr in the US. While Xi is desparately trying to hold broken China together. And the whole world is slowly becoming aware how deep in shit we are due to climate change and several other catastrophies all hitting at once. We are the sea people.
Stay away from windows . . .
Try mint cinnamon :)
Can't push reality out a window Putin, but you vary well could be..
Not with West, with Ukraine.
He meant economic attrition, that west will be able fund Ukraine longer than russia can keep economy afloat
Eh even the funding is a pittance. They are deluded that they are going up against the West one way or another and they're not.
a pittance
I'm sorry what. The West has given hundreds of billions. Not to mention that Europe has paid enormously in high energy costs alone as a result of the sanctions, including through developing a new energy dependence on the US which has resulted in concessions to Trump.
Sure that's not been enough but framing it as a pittance is just inusltung. Ukraine would have had a Russian government a long time ago without it.
A pittance relative to the economy that Russia would be going against in a real war with the West. C'mon. I'll say it again: They are deluded that they are going up against the West one way or another and they're not.
It's why they want to split EU in a bunch of fighting parties with propaganda campaigns, dumping immigrants at the border and the like before attacking.
Yup, and why they want to split nato.
Out of a cannon, or just the job kind?
