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.

I do not in any way justify, nor have I ever done so, what western countries are doing. Further more I am European and always opposed us foreign policy. What makes a huge difference in my opinion to Europe is that china is a one party totalitarian state who's leadership has the power to do whatever pleases him. China is openly threatening it's neighbours. They have pretty much invaded foreign territories under the pretence they were theirs. This is something no European country does or could do.
Right, Europe just invades other countries out of pure joy and then installs puppet governments that are loyal to the West. This is just the last 30ish years:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NATO_operations
What foreign territories did China invade? Did that parliamentary system you like so much stop the nazis from taking power? Is it stopping armaments to Israel today?
Again, you are focusing on the wrong threat, because the propaganda told you to. Weed out your own garden first.
That list contains two active mission that are not in a member country. One in iraq that according to the list is a non-combat advisory and capacity-building mission. I guess it is debatable but Iraq war was not nato not European. The other one is a peace keeping mission in Kosovo that from my point of view is very necessary.
And what countries did Europe invade? Neither Europe nor the EU has an actual standing military.
Regarding Chinese expantionalism: what about tibet, Hong kong, russian and Tajikistan's border conflict, claims in south china sea and so on. China also acts very aggressive towards its neighbours. Which European countries do so (except for Greece and Turkey who are both NATO members).
The big ones that European countries participated in were 20 years of invasion in Afghanistan and the bombing of Libya. Some countries, like the UK, participated in the Iraq war(s). You could argue that Yugoslavia bombing was justified, but I'm sure anticommunism played a bigger role than enforcing human rights. We see now how much EU governments care about human rights in Palestine.
Tibet has been part of China for centuries. First through the Qing, then through the ROC (Taiwan today) and now through the PRC. Just because separatists claim independence does not mean that the PRC invaded it. Do you support European separatist factions, like in Northern Italy, Basque, Scotland, or Donbass? Hong Kong is a Chinese territory that was fucked up by British colonialism (seeing a pattern here) and was handed over peacefully by the British.
Europe doesn't engage in old colonialism anymore because the world has soured to that approach after centuries of wealth transfer towards Europe. Instead it installs friendly governments through military campaigns and then engages in neocolonialism, which has a similar effect, with a lower cost. What's your definition of standing army? The UK for example, has 70k full time military personnel, which I would count as a standing army. Similar numbers for Germany.
