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.

Good. Don’t send them another dime or piece of equipment. Fuck em. They’re embezzling the money anyway. They’ve received all the best equipment and ammunition and they’ve made zero progress. They don’t want the war to end, they want to keep being given handouts.
So Ukraine fighting the "second army of the world" to a standstill, instead of winning, can only be explained by extreme corruption?
And Ukraine did not receive the best equipment in the world. The US (and Europe) has refused to give Ukraine tons of the most potent weapons, like Tomahawk missiles.
Please share your drugs, you clearly have more than enough.
Oh look, a russian
Or maybe just a fool.
How is the weather down in the warm-water port of Corpus Christi, in Texas oblast?
It's more the fact that this is just a NATO/Western war on Russia like the war on is a war in China. Ukraine is just the new Taiwan: a puppet state, a barrier and a military base. America doesn't just hand money out for no reason, lol, it's never done anything for the sake of righteousness in its entire existence. 👍
It's insane you idiots can pretend that the invading country (Russia) is somehow the victim.
"Western imperialism bad. Russian or Chinese imperialism good."
Russia has the longest border in the world. Is any state that touches that border required to be a neutral buffer state in order for Russia to feel secure? Sounds like a crock of shit to me.
Nor has Russia. Nation-states are not morally righteous entities. They serve what they perceive to be their own interests. There have been exceptions, but they're notable due to their scarcity.
