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 distrust this type of article as China and Russia have lots to gain from trying to stirr up opposition or protests in Europe, especially on this topic of defense.
Von der leyen is notoriously in bed with the weapons industry

Vdl is in bed with anyone that pays her. However we need the weapons. Russia and the US proofed it. We need to be able to defend ourselves from both of them.
Whine harder. There's always an ennemy for the jingoists. My grandma fucking died of anemia in their understaffed "retirement home" but we're buying F35s? Fuck you
These countries have publicly stated that they have a territorial claim on European countries, and have armies that can reasonably assert those claims.
No fuck you. Russia is attacking europe, planning to attack more countries in europe and you cry about making sure we can defend ourselves? Your grandma sure would be proud of you just wanting to roll over for the russians.
Do not talk about ny deas grandma you fucking scumbag i'll fucking stab you
Give up your freedom and you can die in a russian shed lol.
These assholes spent the last fucking decade telling everybody we had no money for fucking hospitals and schools and trains, they fucked Greece and the so-called PIGS, a lot of people died or had their life destroyed, and now we have to go into debt to buy more guns?
My grandma fucking starved asshole fuck you
Like she'd do if we let russia invade us 😂
God you're a fucking monster. Zero human empathy whatsoever.
Piece of shit
Ever take the time to think of other peoples grandmas?
Yes idiot. That's why i want money to go in hospitals instead of subsidies for the weapons industry.
How about taxing billionaires more so we can pay for both hospitals AND defense? Why does it have to be one or the other?
They're billionnaire BECAUSE we spent money on defense dumbass. You think google makes money out of internet searches?
