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'm sorry, who started a land war in February 2022?
did world history suddenly begin on February 2022?
February 2022? Hmm, did Russia ever stopped invading neighbour countries?
No.
Russia was famously invaded multiple times by the same sorts of people they're fighting now.
Russia has been famously invaded by Ukraine, what?
You are really good at reading between the lines, but I'm referring to the wide array of foreign mercenaries mostly.
None of those foreign mercenaries have invaded Russia. They are inside the borders of Ukraine defending Ukraine from invasion.
I'm not even the native english speaker here, but the line I responded with originally was:
there are French, German, UK, US and a wide array of european mercenaries there, all of those countries have had a part in invading Russia in the past, some of them multiple times.
The the original assertion that russia has never stopped invading places - I pointed out that it's been invaded repeatedly (US/UK/French expeditions during the civil war, Barbarossa, Napoleon to name a few) - which doesn't really line up with that image of an unstoppable invader.
You have to go back over 200 years to get France invading Russia. Russia invaded Paris in 1813. Everyone invaded everyone in the 1800's. Russia was invading all its neighbors in the 1800's.

The US/UK supporting the Russian Czar during the Civil War isn't an invasion.
Yeah just like how this is special military operation!
There is no civil war in Ukraine and Putin recognizes Zelensky as the legitimate head of state. So not the same at all.
But the two republics are also recognized and did ask for help as well, hence the SMO- and idk what you would consider 2014-2022 in ukraine but civil war would be a fair description in my opinion.
Only a few countries recognize Donbas.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_recognition_of_the_Donetsk_People%27s_Republic_and_the_Luhansk_People%27s_Republic
Yet Russia didn't defend Donbas but invaded all of Ukraine. They had troops outside of Kiev before being fought back.
I had the above post removed for 'misinformation': here's a source:

Literally 1984 censorship if you're pretending otherwise
If it was a negotiated withdrawal, Russian troops would not have been killed by Ukraine. Russian troops would have left before being forced to withdraw.
Which is beside the point that their attempt to take Kiev makes your claim that it was defensive a lie.
???
How did you take that from anything I said
Right, next the native americans will take the US back because historically it's theirs? Russia started a war, stop looking for excuses to cope.
That's a weird comparison, given that Russia is and has always been a genocidal empire. A pertinent example is the renewed persecution of the Crimean Tatars under the present russian occupation.
that would be ideal, fuck the united states
Wow so brave have an upvote and reddit gold
Before the United States the indigenous people had the Iroquois Confederation. It was a primary model for the founders of the United States. Not sure if or how native repossession changes modern geopolitics but it's a fun idea.
