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.

Why is the US President doing PR for a hostile nation? Why does this come across like cheerleading for said hostile nation? Rhetorical questions of course.
He's bragging that Russia told him something. He was feeling butthurt that no one told him about Ukraine's planned drone attack. This is his way of soothing his fragile ego.
Should be kept that way imo. The risk of telling him is not worth it
100%.
He needs to be tried and sentenced for treason
A long time ago Putin filmed Trump doing some naughty things and now the USA has a Nazi regime
Trump and his followers don't see Russia as a hostile nation. They live in a bubble where everything is the opposite.
I liked when he said something negative about Putin last week, and Russia came out apologizing and explaining it away. Compromat.
What do you mean TACO aren't they striking Ukraine daily? TACO are you announcing that Russia and Ukraine are at war?
Senile man acts senile. More news at 11.
Next week: "Putin is crazy, I don't think he wants peace at all".
Poor guy is stuck in an infinite loop.
Russia will start attacking schools hospitals and civialian infratructure ? Or threaten with tactical a-bombs? Or rape and kill POW?
Wait they're already doing that.
Didn't even wipe Putlers cum off your lips
Your comment reminded me of how I got banned from lemmy.world news 2 years ago — a comment about an SC justice wiping Trumps cum from his mouth.
this is the kind of shit where the pee tape would have been exonerating. if you're being his bitch without one you're all the more pathetic.
America is traitor to the whole western world
It may sound alarmist, but it is fair.
Trump represents the US on the world stage, and arguably, the President has more direct power in influencing international policy than domestic policy.
In some ways, the American people’s democratic election of Trump is a more devastating trespass against foreign nations than it is against their own nation.
Considering Panama, Canada, Greenland and Mexico have all become potential invasion targets for the USA in less then 6 months of his presidency i would agree. Silly bastards still don't understand what they've done.
Trump is the death kiss to NATO. Even if Russia looses in Ukraine, Trump has given them gifts they could never have dreamed of.
Imagine a US President saying he had a good call with the counterpart of a rogue state threatening to the existence of one of your allies. Wait you don't have to imagine it unfortunately 🤮
He's a certifiable Benjamin Button.
He becomes more of a pathetic crying toddler the older he gets.
The reason Putin called Trump is to reset his brain on feelings towards Russia and to try to get him to block or otherwise influence the upcoming sanctions vote in the US.
It's so obvious, makes sense Trump would fall for it
Trump says Russia is planning "horror attacks" because I guess there's no way they can be terror attacks lol
Can we get a transcript of this 'good conversation'?
...yeah? I mean, they're at war, no? That's kind of how wars work.
Boxer receives double jab and uppercut. Announces he will strike back.
Who wants to bet he never actually talked to putin and he just sits in the oval office alone for 1 hour talking to himself thinking what a great deal he made. And none of it actually happened.
Pretty sure they just give him one of these and lock the door:
Get the fuck out of Ukraine and things will stop. It's not hard.
Weakest president ever. FGS imagine another US president just meekly passing on a Russian threat rather than saying what the USA is going to do about it
“We discussed the attack on Russia’s docked airplanes…”
Is “docked” the correct term for airplanes parked on the tarmac? Seriously, I don’t know. You could use it for seaplanes moored to a dock, I guess, but that’s not what we’re talking about here.
Delegations sent by Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met in Istanbul on Monday to discuss how the conflict between their nations might end peacefully…
I’m tired of this being treated like some complex puzzle, where every proposed solution only seems to create more problems. It’s actually very simple. HEY PUTIN: Stop shooting. GTFO of Ukraine. Return the Ukrainian people you’ve kidnapped. It’s just that easy!
Is “docked” the correct term for airplanes parked on the tarmac?
It was a common term back during the revolutionary war when the American troops stormed the airports.
Not that I've ever heard of, at least in the area of aviation I deal with. You might 'dock' it at an airport with mechanical ramps, but even then you'd usually just say taxi to the ramp or parking.
Yes, that is how a war typically works. One side attacks, then another side counterattacks. Amazing.
There are a probably a few daycare locations putin hasn't bombed yet. /s
Trump you are a traitor.
Respond?! Like what is Putin going to do, invade?!
Add an extra three days for the three day special military operation!
Deploy the strategic bomb.. — oh.
Putin and Zelenskyy should take turns having "good conversations" with Trump, like throwing a frisbee of douchebag impotence back and forth to each other.
Are the first 24 hours of his term over yet?
He is worthless! I don't get why he speaks with Putin? He isn't gonna do any good at any point. Believe or not it's a waste of time and Europe should take the lead.
