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.

Trump is a genius inventor: he keeps coming up with new ways to take bribes
It's a coin operated system. Insert $25M for the next 6 days of peace.

Sounds like a scam
It's Trump, so the odds are ever in your favor.
The US government is now a racket headed by an infamous NY gangster that made a fortune scamming people in the real estate business.
History does beat fiction
Bored of peace....
First one trump invited is ofcourse putin ... ???
A board of peace - after telling the Norwegian prime minister that he's not committed to peace anymore because he didn't get the peace price (and no, the PM doesn't control the peace price)
Board of peace has the same energy as ministry of truth
didn’t he just threaten denmark that he’s done with peace because he didn’t win the peace prize 😑
And what if they don't, will he kidnap their Presidents too? Or maybe tarrif them?
The 1bn requirement is a great way to make sure countries in the global south can't join.

He doesn't know how to spell, its meant to be "Bored of Peace"
On Friday, the White House presented the composition of "a founding Executive Board", consisting exclusively of figures loyal to Trump: his Middle East adviser Steve Witkoff, his son-in-law Jared Kushner, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and former UK prime minister Tony Blair.
It's astonishing how often Tony Blair manages to find new ways to be a massive fucking disappointment. It's like he's already concluded that he's going to hell for the whole Iraq thing so he'd may as well lean into it by being a huge cunt while he's alive.
I thought the same thing. I mean the whole Iraq thing could be seen as a misjudgement in hindsight. Now though he just looks evil.
A "Board of Peace" membership and a 100 Euro bill are worth 100 Euros combined.
Rimmer: United America? Who's that?
Kryten: Well, at the end of the 23rd century, America attempted to bring peace to the world by asking every nation on Earth to sign a peace treaty.
Any nation that refused, they invaded.
Now, a war ensued that was called the War Against War. Those countries who went to war because they were so against war, they were prepared to go to war to fight in a war against war, called themselves United America.

FTFY

It costs money to join the axis? This will break the future Hearts of Iron IX mechanics.

Somebody? Anybody?
Well, after he got a Nobel Peace Prize, it makes sense that he moves onwards towards his next great wish: King Of The World.
The stupid thing about this is the US already has a disproportionate amount of influence in the UN. Greed is something that can't ever be satisfied.
Trump isn't getting $1B from countries joining the UN.
Well, that’s one way to start the new Axis powers. The internal fascist structure could be a gamble (usually even other fascist leaders want to have more authority than deference), but I guess we’ll see how it goes.
I sure do love being an American (I don't)
"Board of Peace" tracks better than "Golden Dome". Good phrase donny. That'll make everyone forget about your pedophiliac degeneracy.
The document describes a mechanism resembling the "purchase" of influence: standard membership in the Board of Peace is limited to three years and depends on the will of the chairman. This restriction is lifted for states that contribute more than US$1 billion in cash to the fund within the first year.
"Decisions would be taken by a majority, with each member state present getting one vote, but all would be subject to the chairman's approval," Bloomberg says.
Pay a billion to get a vote, and everyone gets a vote...
But trump can overrule any vote...
And he can kick anyone out that he wants, so if you ever go against his opinion of the moment, he'll kick you out.
Why the fuck would any country pay this?
