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.

The same is happening with Gaza. We shouldn't be surprised at all.
But this time it's white people!!?!!!!! \s
Trump literally asked Zelensky for half of all of Ukraine's mineral resources.
Munich Agreement "Hey, I've seen this one, it's a classic!"
Russian invasion of Ukraine "How could you have seen it? It's brand new."
Two aggressor nations.
Two wolves and a sheep deciding what’s for dinner.
Two wolves deciding what will be for dinner without inviting the sheep.
No shit! I'd worry I'd be drinking polonium tea, get chopped up with a bone-saw and then buried on a golf course for a tax break.
the US should officially have been no longer considered anyone but Russia's ally as of Jan 20. Russia, China, and the US comprise the new tripartate pact. Ukraine is about to get partitioned. what comes next is death camps. we know this because we've seen it before. each time the peace that precedes the culling is more precarious and more restricted in scope (the great era of peace following WWII has been brutal for the global south, for example), and the great culling more horrific and brutal than the last. 6 million jews were killed in the holocaust, and many more of other signifiers the Nazis deigned to eliminate. they did it all without access to the new, modern, killing technology we have access to now.
i beg you, slow these fascists down every chance you see. act as if there will be no survivors
we know this because we’ve seen it before.
We've been seeing in palestine for over 100 years.
Millennia. This type shit been happening for ~12000 years, ever since the first "civilizations" subjugated their people into sedentism through violence, both physical and economic. The Levant has been a hotbed for this type activity the entire time. Each wave the cullings get more horrific as a result of indifference on the part of the people who don't realize what's going on thinking things can get worse than they are now because we've collectively forgotten our history thanks to the people doing the culling divorcing us from our access to it. But I believe that someday we will all be free, and all humans of the earth will rest beneath the shade of trees our generation is planting and has yet to plant. It will not be easy to get there, as we see now, but we must keep speaking Truth:
- Scarcity is manufactured
- Poverty is enforced
- All hierarchies of race, gender, class, and national identity are socially derived and enforced to maintain the status quo
- None of us are free until all of us are free
China won't work with white colonisers that once destoryed the nation. It's literally apart of their core trauma of the century of humiliation.china is a historic and solo super power, they just want trade
that doesn't match their current stance towards russia, but we'll see
Current stance sure, china alone can't beat the USA backed alliance against it, china will try to build friends everywhere, it makes absolutely no sense for it to follow the western block. I'm also talking mostly historic which is also fair since they've always been a superpower but a not global dominating kind unlike Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, Britian, russia, America which you can factually prove in current or historical are the global dominating and exploiting kind. People assume if you like china I must love the CCP and Russia and the soviet union which blows my damn mind how black and white people think.
China won’t work with white colonisers... they just want trade
These are the same thing.
China certainly has an issue with working with white colonizers. Subjugating the white colonizers though? I don't think they have any qualms about that. As long as China is allowed to top, they'll gladly let the U.S. become their bitch.
Putin is gonna promise the same mineral rights that Ukraine is negotiating with, as long as they eventually capture all of Ukraine. It'll disable the peace talks and Trump will think he's gonna make a ton of money by abandoning Ukraine.
The audacity of unilateral power plays masquerading as diplomacy. Washington and Moscow carving up spheres of influence over Riyadh’s tables while Kyiv’s chair sits empty—a grotesque pantomime of Cold War realpolitik resurrected. Zelensky’s absence isn’t oversight; it’s erasure, reducing a sovereign nation to collateral in someone else’s chess game.
Europe’s emergency summit theater reeks of desperation—too little, too late. Macron’s huddle resembles headless chickens clucking over scraps after the fox already took the henhouse. The “army of Europe” pipe dream? A Hail Mary from a continent realizing its pathetic dependence on a capricious America now pivoting to flirt with its own boogeyman.
Trump’s blunt instrument of imperial whims swings wildly, smashing decades-old alliances. Rubio jetting eastward isn’t diplomacy—it’s a surrender of principles to expediency, trading Ukrainian blood for cheaper gas and geopolitical trophies. The “broken” transatlantic bond isn’t fracturing—it’s shattered, ground into dust by the jackboots of opportunism.
It’s going to be kinda darkly hilarious when everyone else ignores what the US and Russia say after they meet up
I'm also gonna do my own peace talks in my living room and no one is invited, very legitimate, trust me bro
Why they should in th first place? Did they ask Ukraine? Europe maybe? No! You can't decided what will happen without Ukraine concent.
It's a proxy war, and the US is "mask off" authoritarian now, so neither side gives a fcuk what Ukraine thinks.
It's not a proxy war. It's an invasion with international support for the defence of the invaded nation.
What do they expect? Does empire ever meet with its victims? Was there a palestinian present when these creeps decided to genocide?
Ukraine's biggest mistake has been allying with the enemy instead of palestinians and many other people struggling against the same evil.
