A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Pedo-in-Chief being a grade-A dumbass again.
Ukraine should not have to give up anything. Kowtowing to bullies gets you nowhere.
This'll be the same fucking deal as last time... Russia gets Crimea and their controlled territories, plus the ones Ukraine reclaimed. The US gets access to Ukraine mining exploits. Also Zelensky must step down so Russia can install a puppet government like Belarus...
Oh, and Trump also gets to give himself a Nobel prize.
And restart the invasion in a few years, because clearly it's advantageous to murder innocent people.
What territories that the US owns are they planning to swap with Russia?
Alaska
The ones with rare earths in Ukraine.
I'm kidding, of course. The US won't give any of theirs. 😄
Trump prepares to hold a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin next week.
Wait, this whole story is based on something Trump said? Will the sanewashing never end? Until he and Putin actually sit down to have that talk this is just manipulation. Along with a gallup saying Ukrainians are tired of war. Yeah no shit, Sherlock. I don't think they're tired enough to let Russia take what they've been fighting for for 3½ years.
JFC, the whole article is about Rump rambling off the top of his empty head. Even the "summit" with Putin is purely imaginary at this point.
I guess this is what US outlets do these days, but I'm a little sad that KyivIndependent would do it, too.
then putin will start attacking east EU countries too... Also this will make russia stronger by giving them these minerals and land, and will make eu countries more frightened, like more eastern countries will think 'oh if they give up parts of other countries for peace, what if we get attacked?' and cats pushed in a corner make weird jumps, they'll start working more independently and or making deals with russia themselves and weaken the allyship of EU, is this all america can offer? Surrender? Pathetic losers
Not like the EU is doing anything to stop this from happening. Why is anyone even allowing America at the table right now?
Because for reasons I can't figure out wold leaders are just kneeling down yo gargle trumps balls
And I include my own alleged prime minister
Gagging lol
No gargling
Cause we dont have our own army, we have smaller seperated armies, and we dont have our own weapons that are not (partly) made in America yet idk
I mostly see Russia restocking and attacking Ukraine again in 3-4 years if a peace deal was actually signed. I don't see them attacking a NATO country until after they finish taking Ukraine and the U.S. has done their best at dismantling NATO so Russia faces less opposition.
Can you imagine being such a weak leader that your 2 week special operation turns into a multi year war
Trump lets Putin take Ukraine if he can have Kaliningrad and turn it in a pedo heaven?
This is like giving your year old Mercedes Benz to a used car dealer who will trade it in for a 20 year old rusted old half ton truck .... and him trying to convince everyone that he made a great deal, the greatest deal in the history of deals.
And everyone in the trailer park cheering as they host a barbecue party to celebrate.
What happened to the 50 day deadline to impose massive tariffs on Russia that then dropped to 10 days then changed to a demand to end the hostilities by August 8?
Some master negotiator…
Swapping
So, Russia can have Crimea
Ukraine gets Muscovy, deal?
let's hope the deal is for Alaska to be swapped
And why would we hope for that...?
