From all the things I predicted 2025 to have in store for the EU, I didn't expect a war with the USA. What a shit timeline this is.

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.

due to melting ice, opening new shipping routes
this is just sad
citing its key role in missile defense operations.
So then just ask nicely if you can build missile defenses in your ally's land?
That's what's so stupid. They already have bases there. Denmark would say yes for sure.
Money that's not being spent to arm Ukraine or prepare against potential Russian invasions of NATO countries. What a useful Ploy this has been. Got to hand it to Putin he knows how to use his tools, however decrepit they may be.
Canada, that actually has land really close to Greenland: haha let's play a silly war of flags and alcohol over an island no one cares about, it'll be fun.
The US, that has absolutely nothing to do there: all your base are belong to us
It's almost like Canada is civilized and generally not hostile towards neighboring countries.
It was kind of funny with that dispute, it's almost sad it got resolved.
Greetings from Denmark. 😀
Nothing to do there implies there are no resources. Which is untrue, and the reason why the US wants it. "National security" just sounds better to a random dude.
Somebody set us up the Trump
*set up us
Omg I've had it wrong all these years
It's not just you, it's a very common mistake. Like "arrow to the knee" instead of "arrow in the knee."
