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.

It's absolutely infuriating and flat-out an insult that Ukraine and Europe would not be allowed a seat at the negotiation table.
Ukraine not being allowed to decide about their own fate is ridiculous at best.
And Europe was just as much a partner in aiding Ukraine as America was, if not more.
All I can say is that this whole thing reminds me a lot of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact
"The lesson of history is nobody learns."
I agree with you that it's sad and insulting. Europe and the US were about tied in support, with the US slightly higher. That is until today, when the EU announced a new $732 billion in support and war material. Go EU! Fantastic news. That's almost double what has already been sent in total by all countries over the past three years.
It's absolutely infuriating and flat-out an insult that Ukraine and Europe would not be allowed a seat at the negotiation table.
and whats anybody going to do about it?
Putin always claimed that this is a war between Russia and the US.
And I'm sure whatever they come up with will fuck over Ukraine making it basically impossible for them to accept the terms. Next thing you know the US will say that Ukraine are the aggressors that refuse to make peace and we have to start supporting Russia to keep them under control. Down the line you can throw in some buzzwords about safety and terrorism and now you have US troops in Ukraine on the wrong fucking side.
Literally out of the Panty Poisoners playbook
Welp, Trump literally just said that Ukraine started it earlier today. God damnit, I wish I wasn't right.
Never seen a more useless group of people in a room. This means nothing. It is like children pretending to be shop owners and playing business.
Just ignore this as it is meant to rile up people, just ignore them. Ukraine and Europe should send a message to russia that they are ready for a surrender and prepared to start talking about reparations from russia. If they do not respond continue bombing them. In fact, with the support of Europe Ukraine should expand the war into russia (beyond what they already have).
Main thing to take away from this is: ignore the children on a BS mission and setup a fact and reality based alternative where adults can join and discuss what to do with this war from russia and how to handle and close it.
If you respond to this nonsense meeting and get annoyed or whatever, you just legitimized that group of clowns.
Olaf Scholz just announced the EU will be donating $732 billion of war materiel to Ukraine. I'm so happy about this. They're not going to let the US sell Ukraine out.
I wish I lived in the EU so badly.
Fucking disgusting.
At least Little Marco has his water bottles.
Hey man, uncalled for.
Don't go after good hydration like that.
I'm just saying, we could have had someone with experience.
either europe gets its shit together or gets divided by russia and usa. If we lose, europe will be colonized and/or enslaved by republicans and russians alike though ultimate winner will be the billionaires. It wont look like colonization of old most likely but we wont be the masters in our own house anymore, so to speak.
Why even give coverage to this circle jerk session?
