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.

Putler is betting on trump to win. If Harris wins, it's over for him.
Well, officially, Putin supports Harris, but who knows with that deranged man.
He endorsed her specifically so that Trump would say that in the debate. And he did.
And how do you, pray tell, know that?
Because I don't live under a rock.
But you do since you just guess. I quote known sources, and you pull shit out your ass.
Please explain why Putin would endorse the person who says that Ukraine should win the war over the person who won't say that.
I don't need to explain anything. Again, I'm just citing facts, and you're guessing. But honestly, how much do you think your armchair analytics are really worth? Or anyone's for that matter?
I just cited facts too.
Harris wants Russia out of Ukraine.
Trump refuses to say what he wants Russia to do.
Why would Putin sincerely endorse Harris? I think you know the answer is that he wouldn't.
Because you, quote 'don't live under a rock', was that the citation you consider a fact?
Again:
Harris says Ukraine should win.
Trump will not say who should win.
This happened last night. I heard it with my own ears.
So, again, why would Putin support the person who wants him to lose the war? Because, again, I think you know the answer.
They could actually just be dumb and ignorant, but I think we both know they have their motives.
But holy mother of god!; what's your source I mean?
My source of what? Those two claims? Again, the debate last night. Putin's obviously bullshit endorsement of Harris? I can give you a source, but I'm not sure what your whole point here is if you didn't know about that.
Yes, of course, your source of why Putin made the endorsement, the source I asked for about 5 comments ago....
And, as I have explained to you multiple times, I do not need a source when I can make a basic inference from the facts at hand.
If you can come up for another explanation for why Putin would endorse the person who wants him to lose the war, let's hear it.
Otherwise, you're just harassing me because I said something mean about Putin.
Does it ever occur to you to just concede for once and save so nich time and effort: 'No, sorry, I don't have a source for my claim, I simply made a conjecture that I believe to be correct'.
I bet it never even crossed your mind because you're so goddamned sure of yourself since apparently 'you don't live under a rock'.
And now you are violating our civility rules. If you continue to harass me or are uncivil to anyone else, you will be taking a break.
I would appreciate it if you would give me an alternate reason for Putin supporting Harris please.
Sure, go ahead by all means, or you could take this as an opportunity to learn and grow as a person.
I am connected to the Russian hivemind, can confirm that we prefer Harris to Trump, he's just too unpredictable.
Don't be coy; you simply cannot.
You exist in bad faith, this goes so far beyond debate at this point lmao
I just cited a quote. What do you want from me exactly(?) holy fuck...
You didn't quote anything
Here's a guy who believes things that come out of Putin's mouth, over his own eyes and his own government.
Remind me, which side just got busted for being literally paid by Russia to post pro-russian propaganda about the election and Ukraine? Wasn't that conservatives? If Putin wants Kamala, why is Russia paying American conservative influencers millions of dollars to sway voters away from her?
Lmao I don't really give a damn. I just quoted Putins' own words, make that what you will and the fact is he supports Harris apparently.
I know you quoted Putin's own words, that was my whole point lol. He said those words in response to the US GOVERNMENT saying that he is paying conservative influencers to influence the US election.
So, which source do you believe, Putin, or the US government? Go on
I dont really trust, either to be honest. What has the US government said on the matter?
Here's the official statement
The US business that was implicated has been named as Tenet Media, which employs Tim Pool and Benny Johnson, noted Trump supporters. Each of whom was being paid $100s of thousands of dollars by Tenet, who was in turn being paid directly by Russia. Tenet has since shut down and the creators are lawyering up.
Here's an article from BBC giving more details about who was involved, with quotes from the conservative influencers that took the money, and from the DOJ. I will put some quotes below but I strongly suggest you read the whole thing because it does seem like you personally have fallen victim to this Russian propaganda.
Editing to add the actual indictment for you, since we care a lot about sources in this thread! https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1366266/dl
No, I mean that the US government claims Putin support of Harris is false or a charade.
If you're just going to quote people and accept it as fact, I have the metal scrapping rights for the Eiffel tower for sale and I'm willing to do so for cheap.
Better than armchair conjecture, tbh.
Armchair conjecture is exactly what you're doing
No, ffs, I was just citing official sources, that's the goddamn opposite
So first of all, that is "armchair conjecture".
Second of all, you've already admitted just because Putin says it doesn't mean it's true.
Third of all, what is your reaction to Putin's support? Sounds like "be careful of Harris, Putin supports her." Do you think Putin is an idiot? He knows that's how people will react.
Not supporting someone just because Putin said to is just as stupid as supporting someone just because Putin said to. Either way you're letting Putin make your decisions instead of thinking for yourself.
Yeah 'who knows', I don't.
So how the hell is that conjecture lmao?
Man, for someone who doesn't know anything you sure do go on a lot about things you know nothing about.
Yeah, like what?
That's the thing you can't trust putins own words lmao
Nobody "knows" it, but it's totally within character for both of them.
Trump is so predictable he reliably fell for Harris' obvious bait about his rally attendees etc.
It's not farfetched to assume Putin, who is actually quite skilled in the art of manipulating people, would attempt to use Trump as a pawn in this manner.
Yeah well see therein lies the problem. There is a difference between knowing and not knowing, something that seems to matter next to nothing to people anymore
Let's say a guy says he likes puppies, but then pays a pile of cash so some people will run a puppy-kicking machine. Would you say he likes puppies or not?
That's because officially Putin knows who he supports has negative connotations for the electorate.
Whoever Putin visibly puts his weight behind is the opposite of who he wants to win.
It's also so the MAGA rubes (who mostly secretly root for Putin) can say "See Trump don't balong ta no won cause Pootin was for the Kamunist!"
He of course supports Trump, he just likes to mess around Western politics
