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.

Western troops would wipe the effing floor with the russians. Air superiority would be instantaneous. The war -- in Ukrane at least--would end quickly.
More famous last words have never been spoken. How many times throughout history have people said this? I'd imagine leading up to every war...
AH yes, the famous Russian air force. Everyone knows having dead pilots in crashed planes is a tactical advantage. I'm sure the west will find them most challenging.
So it’s zombie pilots, then.
This assumes a full blown war. Not sending just mechanics to maintain the F16 given to Ukraine and a bunch of training officer.
Moreover, while I doubt Russia can win a conventional war, Russia is more than machine gun mounted a Toyota pick up trucks, 20year old kids will die, and not sure western government are ready for it, especially with the weight of pro Russian politicians. This is how you loose a war despite a "mathematical" advantage
We need an answer to Putin's shenanigans and we havent been pursuing one in any serious manner. He's been in a low level war with the west for decades while we offer him refreshments and listen to his blather. He and Russia should be treated like North Korea.
It took over 10 years to end syrian regime. It will definitely take as much to end the ukraine invension even with western support on the ground
Does this mean that US will guarantee the backstop?
Are we waiting on the US to approve or disapprove every political action in the world? Or after Ukraine has managed to hold Russia to almost no territorial gains for years are we pretending Russia is an unstoppable and well funded military force?
If citizens in other countries want to be slaves to the crazy US, I guess thats ok. Get me another latte.
Too late. The US already has a ton of influence here and is currently content with supplying Ukraine with just enough to hold off Russia but nothing more. If the other western countries increase their support, the US will just scale back an equal amount.
