A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Russia does not exactly "help" Iran, they back-stabbed them on several occasions. A more accurate description would be that Russia supports Iran to the extent that it serves its own agenda.
Again, the orange-faced bastard is but a running dog for the Kremlin, and sure it's an open secret on the streets of Kyiv.
The simplest explanation is that the US in not an ally of Ukraine (or Europe).
It was an ally before the Trump came.
I'm not so sure the US was a proper ally of Europe (there has long been overt talk in the US about Europe as a competitor and a lot of effort from US sources to try and weaken the EU with for example funding campaigning for Brexit) but I do believe that before Trump the US was an ally of Ukraine.
A headline like that really doesn't mean anything. The commander-in-chief lives in his little bubble with his dementia and his narcissism. Then people in the military have their own information, most of which is presumably more accurate than the big boss's brain.
Trying to speculate about what Donald believes or knows is an exercise in futility because he's a strong narcissist who's getting dementia. He believes in whatever he believes at that exact moment and it has nothing to do with the past or the future or reality, and if you haven't been around people like that, it's hard to understand, but you have to stop expecting them to have a normal brain. Logic doesn't matter. Facts don't matter. Reason doesn't apply.

Therefore he can then be manipulated by his supposed minions who have bigger plans to either enrich themselves or launch nukes.
"Trusts" -> "Is owned by."
Trump knows Russia is helping Iran, but there's nothing he can do to stop it.
Trump could absolutely stop it, if he wanted to. Just send a few hundred tomahawk missiles as military aid to Ukraine. Then tell Russia that if Russia does not stop, the US will send more.
I have seen this topic before and I don't understand what the importance of the issue is. Isn't the USA sharing intelligence with Ukraine? I suppose that Russia sharing information with Iran is what is expected in the situation and what could anyone do to prevent it?
what could anyone do to prevent it?

I think it's more like a boss / employee relationship.
Based on Trump's body language in Helsinki, it's extreme dom/sub.
Shouldnt he be happy that Iran is taking Russian resources away from the war?
Trump's war in Iran diverted weapons away from Ukraine (which were already bought and paid for by Europe), to be used in Iran. It also increased the global price of oil and gas, which benefits Russia because they can now sell their oil at that higher price.
it appears that russia can now make thier own shahed drones now, and been giving iran some.
No, Putin is sitting on a large pile of "pee tapes" and US dances when it's told to.
Also sitting on a large pile of cash from all the oil money they made back with sky high oil prices.
