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 can very very much understand this sentiment in Ukraine. I mean how can they trust Trump after all that's happened?
If you want to get someone really pissed off at you, then what Trump has done (and specially what he hasn't) is exactly what you need to trigger 100% negative sentiment and justifiable suspicion with your (tradional) allies.
add: I feel vicarious shame and I'm not an US citizen, by Trump's grovelling to murderers and dictators, his overall lacking behavior, and unjust betrayal of Ukraines sovereignty in the name of his fake ambition for a fucking ficticious nobelprize.
I mean how can they trust Trump after all that’s happened?
No one can trust Trump under any circumstances. He'll lie, cheat, steal, backstab. He's only out for one person: himself. He's proven it over and over again for decades.
I'd say there is an incredibly high chance Trump is predominantly doing this to try and keep his pedophilia out of the news
his pedophilia out of the news
wouldn't that make it even more inexcusable wrong?
Nobody here is out to excuse the man, it's just a compelling hypothesis
Ukraine is on their way to defeating Putin. Putler could have never invaded Ukraine in the first place. Putler could have always gone home years ago to end the invasion. Now, it's too late. Ukraine will crush Russia. Slava Ukraine.
I mean, if tomorrow putin falls out of a window (on accident, of course), after which all russian soldiers pack it up and go home, I don't think we're going to chase them. We have too much to rebuild.
Don't you see! This was a 20D move by Biblically Accurate Chosen One Trump to reinvigorate flagging Ukrainian morale and restore NATO unity!
....Pfft, I couldn't even type that with a straight face.
When Trump is noted to be actively searching for big betrayals every time he gets in hot water like he is with Epstein, then loyalty to the US is a nonstarter. It's bad enough if he's squirrel brained, but this implies purposeful throwing a whole country to the wolves literally just for headlines.
Clinton famously attacked another country to distract from the trials with witnesses for Monica Lewinski and successfully pushed it down to page 2. This seems as bad or worse.
