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.

Not because Ukraine has turned the tide?
Not on the frontlines it would appear. The strategy of punishing Russia economically seems to be more effective than defeating them militarily.
The elections in Hungary gave Ukraine a line before their thread snapped, as Hungary’s new government gave them the approval vote for more NATO debt.
Ukraine’s lost on the ground, but now have unlimited drones to make up for the lack of manpower.
I doubt Putin’s political red lines have changed. My guess is some sort of armistice that guarantees Ukraine doesn’t join NATO or attempt to obtain nuclear weapons.
Any effort at lasting peace and keeping the country whole would mean an election, and eastern Ukrainians would have a vote, which would put the Zelenskyy regime out in the cold. (Western Ukrainians don’t like Zelenskyy either, but that’s another story).
They are compensating for a lack of manpower with superior drone capabilities.
Framing that as "lost on the ground" is some serious mental gymnastics.
Not only have they not "lost on the ground", they have now gained the upper hand on the ground.
They were losing on the ground for most of the war. They lost a lot of territory and it’ll take a lot of work to win it back. Their drones can help them with that, but they also need more soldiers. They’ve lost a lot of soldiers, and almost nobody talks about that.
Depends... drones are mostly active in the air and provide air superiority, even if only in low altitude.
This is serious cope.
If cheap drones could win the war, then all Russia needs are a fleet of cheap drones to counter this advantage. How can they achieve victory without manpower to hold territory?
They attack with drones, declare temporary victory until Russia destroys their robots and then they’re back to square one, only more in debt to NATO. Not exactly a plan for victory.
weird how the changing reality on the ground paints a different picture to your cope fantasy
Sure, Vova.
