World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

Oh no, a russian bot on copium.
How sad.
Is Russia is going to stop with Ukraine? Is Transnistria magically going to invade and conquer Moldova? Is Georgia going to become another Belarus or do they need to be invaded again? Should we just give up because it costs too much?
You for real though?
I mean, I'm doing just fine but thanks.
If Europe falls, Russia will come for your country eventually too, once they're done with the USA.
Not that you care, you're probably working for Russia, or already in your 60s so this won't affect you much, but ya know, just in case...
You must be terrible at geography if you don't even know Ukraine is in Europe...
It's a damn shame how many genuinely good people are being killed in this war just for edgelords like you to live their lives unscathed.
Perhaps, but at this point any "Victory" by Russia is entirely Pyrrhic.
You see regardless of what happens in / to Ukraine there is no path to recovery for the Russian State. In less than 30 years they will be gone.
Perhaps.
Ukraine was going to lose in the first three days; Ukraine was going to lose in the next two weeks; Ukraine was going to lose in the next three months. We are now in the third year of Russia's war of conquest and it is clear Ukraine can hold their own. It is our duty to give them a fighting chance against the invader.
While we’re engaging with your fantasies… I might suggest the US supports Ukraine all the way up to Moscow’s front door.
Prigozhin proved all you have to do is drive up the highway.
Russia is a paper tiger, and it benefits the west to arm Ukraine as long as they will fight the occupier and expose them. From a political realist perspective this is true even if Ukraine looses.
Your arguments are false and I suspect you are a troll. Slava Ukraine.
Oh the irony.
You're more than a little delusional if you think this shit is going to end well for Russia.
Damn, you must really like the taste of those boots.
You seem a bit confused about this whole thing.
You're getting your comments mixed up.
So even if Russia manages to hold territory, then what. Forever war? They will be battling insurgents, a neighbor that will keep targeting your valuable industry. Russia seems to have way more to lose here, especially in the medium term.
Wow you sound like a cardassian.
Oh look, the weirdo who thinks mental health is fake is a Russian Bot. What a surprise.
Even if Ukraine loses in the end, that equipment is going to continue to absolutely wreck Russia's military capabilities for the foreseeable future.
I don't know who you're lumping me in with so I have no idea what I've been wrong about so far.
And no. The fact that this new wave of aid will be used to explode Russian equipment is undeniable. I'll tag you in the threads if you want.
I don't know why you assume that everybody except you had just decided that Ukraine was going to easily take back Crimea
It remains the maximal long term outcome, but was never considered a likely result
What do tanks have to die with Crimea lmao?
Well yeah, if Russia annexed the entirety of Ukraine, that would also be considered the unlikely maximal outcome
Well thanks for clearing that up lmfao
a brave post by a brave internet lad. /$
Ukraine may lose but they should at least be given the chance to fight back. If they lose it’s because Russia has more cannon fodder.
