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.

I'm pro-Europe but I also recognize that Europe is very dependent on the US for military technology and weapons. France is the only country that is resistant to the possibility of the US just turning everything off. European nations would do fine vs. Russia with American technology and weapons. I suspect that Russia could reconquer to Berlin if Europe was depraved of American military technology and weapons. Maybe I'm wrong, though.
Maybe, I'm not a military expert by no means, but I fail to see the real advantage of the supposed american military technology when they lost every single war since ww2, often against supply starved adversary.
They win wars. They bore of occupations.
Ok let's assume Russia takes europe - then what? You think Europeans going to happily sit under Ruzi dictatorship? What the fuck are you even talking about.
Then what? Then you get the 1950's - 1980's in eastern Europe all over again, including an obvious level of stagnation when compared to those on the other side of the iron curtain.
Lmao you think eastern Europeans will accept Russian rule? Even in 1940s with ww2 going on and under entire new brand and government method Ruzis could barely hold eastern European countries.
Now with internet and basically untraceable weapons of mass destruction you think ruskies can hold an independent country when they can barely hold their own together?
Absurd.
Georgians recently elected a very pro-Moscow political party. Belarus could revolt but doesn't. During Soviet rule, we had the example of the Hungarians whose little revolt was crushed quickly. They then fell back in line to Russian rule.
Nah having trouble believing that Baltics could ever be rules by Russia. No way ruskies ever winning that.
Now you have to be a troll. First, Russia ruled the Baltics for several generations. Second, it is the most easily conquered NATO territory in Europe today. Many doubt that NATO would respond and Russia would displace native people (who they will forcibly relocate elsewhere) with Russians who will be moved in to Russify the lands.
Again your references are form almost 100 years ago and today's guerilla warfare is a million times more effective.
Read this and educate yourself:

Russia is not holding anything lmao
By your source, they resisted 12 years (mostly due to western aid) and then gave-up.
12 years with 1940s tech. With 2025 tech that's collapse of Russia sort of resistance. The Baltics would 100% dirty bomb Moscow if it ever came to it.
Ruzkies and the world is very different now especially since Russian soft power is so incredibly low compared to ww2. Literally nobody likes Russia and nobody can justify existence under their failing system and economy. Every Baltics state has significantly higher GDP per capita than Russia with basically infinite natural resources - there's no way to even spin Russian occupation.
You are clearly the troll here if you can't understand this.
