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.

FFS people, sanctioned countries were not included. Somalia, Burkina Faso....also not included.
Let them deal in baseless conspiracy. Please deal in fact here.
Yep, it's fertilizer and related exempt at inputs. Prior to the war trade with Russian was closer to $30B.
The trade sanctions exist outside of tariff policy, so it's probably too complicated for ChatGPT (and therefore these clowns) to sort out easily.
There's a possibility that someone used an LLM to formulate the tariff percentages. That's not baseless, there's evidence based on replication and similar language in the USTR site.
Which makes it a funny joke to suggest that they did the entire tariff plan top to bottom in ChatGPT.
There's also a much stronger possibility that Trump simply didn't want to piss off Putin.
Why are you trying to find a more complicated answer?
Less complicated is:
"Tariff rates go brrrrrr"
"But it's hard to add this to sanctioned countries because it involves doing work."
'Then don't, lol, FTW. Tell Grok to leave them out."
Grok and all appointees involved are idiots
"Here's a list of important places that need tariffs."
And you're back to the "list was generated by AI" conspiracy.
Well, this is an openly jokey theocratical comment, so yeah.
Maybe the fertilizer president wants freedom of fertilizer?
President Biden also took a lot of flack from Europe when he maintained trade in Russian uranium despite their putting rules into effect concerning Russian oil. There are a few things that both parties aren't willing to give us regarding Russia.
Iran and Syria were included.
And so were uninhabited islands. I'm not saying these people are geniuses. I'm saying that Grok probably said to skip sanctioned countries and they got that mostly right.
Or, much more simply, Trump didn't want to make Putin mad.
So then why did Somalia or Burkina Faso not make the list? Does Putin care about them? Not really.
Occam's razor here is pretty easy to see as "Sanctioned counties, and we missed two."
That wasn't a comprehensive list, just 2 off the jump.
So no, the simpler answer is that sanctions simply aren't a factor. They didn't list every country on the planet.
Sure, whatever you need to believe with no evidence to support it. At least a 80% correlation with the sanctions list mes a touch of sense.
Claiming that Trump is constantly kissing Putin's ass isn't a conspiracy. It's not even a secret...
So where's your evidence that the list of countries was generated by AI?
There's a pretty comprehensive article on The Verge outlining the likelihood of it bring probable.
No there isn't.
You might need to learn how to read better...

Still waiting for you to admit you were wrong.
And wait more you shall ;)
Right, because even though we both know you were wrong, you're too fragile to admit it.
Not fragile. I really do recall seeing an article about this, and digging into finding it to show that I was only wrong admit the citation and not the content of the comment and my heart. But thats a chore and I'm putting off spending time doing that.
Fragile little ego. So pathetic.
Turns out it was an NY Times article, which you are free to search for yourself because this thirsty for attention wannabe troll shit can fuck right off.
Fun fact: Being abrasive and needing someone else to spoon-feed you the exact baby food you want isn't a great way to go through life.
No it wasn't, you're lying again.
Asking people for sources for their outlandish claims is "being spoonfed baby food" now.
Jesus, you'll really do anything but just admit to being wrong. It's so cringe.
Look, you came into this thread trying to dunk on people, got proven wrong, pivoted and doubled down, got proven wrong again and you just can't seem to handle that fact. We both know it. Just admit it and take the L.
Come on, it's not that long. You must have seen how utterly wrong you are by now.
Did you read it yet?
Lol the irony...
Of course I know what article you were talking about. Go ahead and read it again and then quote me where it says anything about generating a list of countries that somehow leaves out Russia.
Why? Isn't that the easiest lowest hanging fruit possible?
