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.

ya but don't worry. Surely after 49 days and 23 hours Trump would pause the tarrifs to give chance for negotiating a deal.
Source: Past experiance
I confirm that. Source: trust me bro
“49 and a half, 49 and 3 quarters, 49 and … hmmm, 49 point 1, 49 point 2, […]”
This would imply that Trump knows decimal places which he absolutely does not.
We're four months into the 24-hour peace talks to end the 3-day military operation that's been going on for three years.
"I never said day one" - trump
No, not yet. Eventually, though maybe not.
The master negotiator arting all the deals again
He's gonna do something stupid. I'm surprised they haven't already. The Epstein Files need distracting from. They tried troop deployments on US soil. Bombing in the middle east. Nothing dramatic on the Supreme Court docket.
If there isn't a natural disaster right now they're gonna pull some shit. Any guesses?
My bingo card caught fire & now I can't see.
They didn't even wait for their TACO to be fully cooked?!
Vladimir, STOP! :'(
"Swiper no swiping!"
The disrespect for Trump is palpable.
They know him better than most.
It's fascinating how Trumps diplomacy combines "one trick pony", "one pump chump" and back and forth motion of a locomotive piston.
It's like an engine of stupid.
But he (Putin) was nice on the phone! They had a relationship!
Another incompetent move by the donOLD, trying to distract us from his Epstein pedophilia.
Why 50 days and not tomorrow?
Takes time to send the messenger to front lines
The war would be over if Putin just took his troops out of Ukraine immediately and indefinitely. Even Trump can grasp that concept. It's not hard at all.
But Putin won't because he's too far into a delusion that was first one of grandeur but has become one of sunk cost.
Trump might be able to grasp that too, but I'm not sure that his mind wouldn't then immediately reject it because its roots are in qualities he admires in himself and others.
But Putin won’t because he’s too far into a delusion that was first one of grandeur but has become one of sunk cost.
I've read because they're on a war economy, stopping the war would be catastrophic for Russia's economy, and probably to Putin himself. But also continuing the war is also doing serious damage. That's why Putin will never agree to any ceasefire.
In addition, there are many Russians who are waiting for their country to crush the “Banderites” so ending the war could also hit Russia government hard, in my opinion.
We've also read that Putin is days away from dying of cancer, sanctions will end war in days, fighting with WWII shovels, using WWII outdated weapons.
Putin can't stop without crashing Russia's wartime economy. If he does that, he next gets to experience defenestration.
Putin's talk of peace translates as, "I need to slow the roll so I can rearm."
I don't think that Putin is “delusional,” he is just trying to do what Russia has been trying to do for centuries - destroy Ukrainian culture, identity, independence, in short, assimilate Ukrainians. And withdrawing troops from Ukraine will not be such an easy decision for Putin and Russia, after several years of full-scale war, that is.
This line about "It's as easy as leaving Ukraine" was only somewhat true in the beginning when it was more of a "special military operation" and less of a war. As others have pointed out, a lot has changed economically and most likely politically. Putin isn't an absolute master that can do anything on a whim with no repercussions whatsoever. Like any other place and time, the ruling class only gets to rule if enough of the working class isn't destitute. If the ruling class gets enough people into poverty, heads are very likely to roll.
Shocking for... no one (except Trump, I suppose)
Russia is unacceptable I demand they surrender to me right now or forever be known as crybaby girly men.
Well, that went swimmingly...
