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 am ashamed to be American.
I hope whatever Zelensky and his team are considering, if they really are seriously considering anything, is to Ukraine's advantage, and not merely a concession in the hope of solidifying US support.
I’m disgusted that the US would abandon its former ally and instead extort them for mineral rights, but here we are m.
Don't forget the Budapest memorandum, US is supposed to be a guarantor of Ukrainian peace, after Ukraine gave up its nukes.
US has shown it's accords and agreements aren't worth the paper they are written on.
The US and Russia. Both were supposed to guarantee Ukrainian peace...
Goes to show you how much you can trust foreign powers.
The lesson from all this is that if you don't have nukes, you are fair game.
At least when the fucking trash is in charge. >:( I’m so mad at the American voters.
I'm pissed off as well, but unfortunately I don't think it's quite that simple. Even under Biden the US failed to uphold their guarantee imo. Granted it was miles better than the insane shit happening right now though but the same lesson ultimately applies.
Yeah for sure, but at least we had a chance of forcing the democrats to do something better. Now, we have to deal with a fucking coup, and all the US allies will suffer for it.
I don't know how the leader of the Free World, Zelensky, can make any deal at all with the Fascist leader of The United States, Donald Trump, there is no mechanism on earth which can secure it's gurantees, no court or cop that can make The United States live up to any agreements it makes. The only thing that stops Trump from landing US tropps in the half of Ukraine that Trump hasn't already agreed with Russia they retain immediately, is UK & French troops that march in to create a human bullwark that Trump is too afraid to fire on. That's it. Maybe Zelensky is just buying time to see if Europe will get it's shit together.
I bet they don't, nothing Europe has ever done, has ever been this sort of heroic, ever. I think Europe will cauterize Ukraine, end it's financial and military hardware support, to concentrate on it's own borders, now that it's defense needs to be against both The United States and Russia.
