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. 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 10/19
-
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.

It's wild how unpopular peace in Ukraine is among liberals.
Alright, feel free to tell us how to achieve a permanent peace there.
Hint: In 2014, we got a peace agreement in Ukraine and now, we have war. So, what should we do differently this time? How can we make sure that Putler doesn't just fill up the army for 3 years in a "peace" phase and start the next attack afterwards??
"If you write Russia a blank check there will be just a couple of days of slaughter then no one else needs to die"
Minsk II agreement was never enforced, they were fighting literally until the day of the invasion.
But a stable peace would require the Russian-speaking parts of Ukraine to go to Russia or an independent state, both the Russian and Ukrainian paramilitaries that started this to be disarmed and prosecuted for war crimes.
I don't see how your suggestion solves the problem at all... Maybe, that's a start...
Putin made clear multiple times that we wants the whole Ukraine. Serious question to you: How do we pretend this from happening?
The only way for a stable peace that I can imagine is: The remaining area of Ukraine gets full protection by NATO. Otherwise, Putin will try it again.
Would you give up your country for peace? By peace I mean living in a nearly totalitarian state where you could go to prison for liking something on social media that the government doesn’t like. And then you would be sent to the front to fight in another war with a neighboring country, just like they did with men from occupied areas in 2014.
We'd love peace there, like it was before Russia invaded. They should immediately withdraw all their troops so peace resumes. Great idea.
By "Civil War" I think you meant to say "Russian Occupation of Crimea"
No, I'm not talking about the Russian occupation of Crimea, if you weren't following the news back then, you can filter google news by year.
We tried appeasement of a dictator in 1939 and it didn't help. But I'm sure it'll work this time.
And in 1991...
1991? When the US backed Yeltsin's coup, causing the breakup of the USSR, the greatest non-war-related humanitarian disaster of the 20th century, and paved the way for Putin to come to power?
Bruh
With them it'salways the fault of the USA. Almost funny :-/
If you think that the US wasn’t heavily involved in the final act of the Cold War then you don’t understand history or geopolitics and are not a serious person to be consulted on these matters.
So funny you mentioned this...I actually did a paper twenty year ago in college about the fall of Russia and the truth is, the CIA was using (I think the term is) " Black Propaganda" to inform themselves. Black Propaganda was essentially incorrect old disinformation distributed by the CIA.
They were caught with their pants down in many ways. They may have aided at the end but the CIA was much more off guard than one would think.
Edit: my sources were literally declassified documents the CIA released. I got them from the college library. I'm sure libraries will be next to be gone
Peace at the cost of giving up their land to invaders? Are you really this stupid or just straight up evil?
How do you know my stance on Palestine?
I’m against all these types of behaviours. All you idiots have is whataboutism.
Oh no the gEnOcIdE people are back.
Go get a toilet.
I don’t know what the other guy said but the “gEnOcIdE” people at least came out to vote. Now we have Trump in office so I sure hope the high horse was worth it.
He said:
It's just below if you scroll like 5 cm.
And I also doubt the russian shills voted in the american election.
Liberals making fun of people for…. Caring about genocide. Wish I could say I was shocked. Y’all are a huge disappointment.
LiBeRaLs !!!
Hon hon hon!
If you just knew how stupid you sound.
But may we all count ourselves lucky that the ~~Czechoslovakian~~ Crimean Problem has been settled.
The purpose of the western allies handing Czechoslovakia to Nazi Germany and Poland was to enable Hitler and Poland to go after their stated enemy, the USSR.
This is why none of the western powers all broke or were unwilling to sign mutual defense pacts with the USSR, and France and the UK tried to join the winter war on the side of the axis, but were only stopped by Sweden denying them passage.
It does not apply here at all.
