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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 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.

Hopefully mango man can read the room on this one and let it go. We don't need to start another war.
I highly doubt the idea for invading Greenland comes from him, but rather the people manipulating him who would perhaps benefit from the instability caused by a war between the US and EU.
It's the tech bros

This doesn't pass my smell test.
Sources who spoke to Reuters requested anonymity to discuss private conversations.
The vision for Greenland, one of the people said, could include a hub for artificial intelligence, autonomous vehicles, space launches, micro nuclear reactors and high-speed rail.
Undoubtedly.
The US Government's posturing, diplomatic and otherwise, for rights in the the Arctic and northern territories has been happening at least since the Obama administration. It's a recognition that climate change is going to make it feasible to mine and drill in these places that were previously inaccessible.
You are the one being manipulated, there are more than a thousand US military facilities in europe, these operations are to fool people like you into not complaining about wasting public money to boost military spending.
The entire point of this is to break up NATO and start a two front war against Europe by both the US and Russia. Didn't you get the memo?
I was just thinking the same thing. Where does that leave Canada? Do they join the EU or get eaten up by the US?
Canada is a big well run country as opposed to the US which is flailing and failing at an astounding pace. US economic numbers are being obscenely cooked .
"....we’re seeing this new technique of the leaders of these companies — the investors, owners, CEOs — are now able to make money even if the companies never make money. That’s new. It started a little over ten years ago, and I’ll give you Uber as an example. Before they went public, Uber had only ever lost money. Billions and billions of dollars. And yet, their investors were still able to make billions of billions of dollars in profit by making this thing public and recouping that money on IPO day."
Why can't other NATO countries just say "we are still NATO but the US isn't".
They're treaties. They're whatever the participants say they mean.
Trump absolutely loathes NATO and Europe in general. I guarantee they're war gaming all the scenarios right now. I have little faith in Europe as they can't even fucking get it together enough to stomp out an imperial march on their borders from a much weaker foe.
Trump absolutely loathes NATO and Europe in general.
NATO is controlled by the US and Europe is an US colony, there are more than a thousand US military facilities in europe.
I would like to see Canada send some as well.
Our Artic Rangers to do some additional cold weather training
mexico too!
Damn does Mexico even have arctic gear?
Solidarity, baby. Dig it.
Even if the US doesn't try some shit, this will be good boreal forest and tundra training for when Russia tries some shit.
There are more than a thousand US military facilities all over europe, in greenland too, no politician in charge ever said shit about it. These military exercises sound like yet another gift to the war industry and to rulers, who through fear and manipulation keep empowering themself.
I can recommend a Belle of the Ranch video explaining how the EU is looking at possibly raising an EU army of 100,000. Coincidentally the number of US troops stationed in the EU is about 100,000.
