Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Trump says he’s confident Putin will ‘keep his word’

🤣🤣🤣

He is referring to his promised payment.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

He ain't getting that either.

He violated the Budapest Memorandum (Ukraine agreeing to give up their nuclear weapons in return for the US and Russia promising no aggression and to come to Ukraine's defense in the event of aggression) only 20 years after it was signed by Russia when he annexed Crimea. He may as well have shredded it when he launched the "Special Military Operation."

That's different. He really means it this time.

Ukraine actually made a list of ceasefires Russia had broken:

And Zelenskyy has informed the US administration about it personally.
Putin is NOT trustworthy, and is demonstrably a liar about everything regarding the war on Ukraine.
There is zero rational reason to trust Putin.

Trump doesn't give a shit about facts, and he is constantly gaslighting about Putin and Russia.
The man is a traitor, and should be executed for treason of the highest order.

I think he learned his lesson. Give him one more chance, sweety.

Republicans are themselves bad-faith actors in all respects, like Putin. Their words mean nothing.

There will be peace in our time, eh?

[–] alquicksilver@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Only the peace of the grave, I fear. :(

In 2018 at the Helsinki summit, Trump said he trusted Putin's word then, too, over the unprecedented joint consensus of every US intelligence agency and Pentagon.

Bush Jr. also said something similar on Putin.

Dumbshits. Kompromat.

I'm confident Anna Kendrick would love me if she just took the chance to get to know me...

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Oh yes Putin's puppet I am sure he will.
