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.

Just read the article, and did it feel as though it was written by 3 different people to anyone else?
But anyway, the EU undeniably needed to spend more on their collective militaries with a hostile, expansionist neighbor on their doorstep. This is literally one of two things that Trump has been right about in his lifetime.
These days you're lucky if there's even one person writing it.
where's all those Europeans that were mocking the Americans on here for the past seven months?
cmon guys! show us how to protest!
pokes with stick
do the thing!
I dont know if theres any point in replying as you may have already been abducted by ice, but are you really that incompetent that you cant even organise a protest yourself (if it wasnt clear enough before americans are the most incompetent, useless people on earth)
Imagine your population having such a broom up their ass that they think learning about sex will turn their kids into free use sex toys.
Imagine thinking this is to appease the Imigrant Fellan Pedo Fasco President.
Imagine not knowing that this isnt 5% on military but 3.5% on military and 1.5% of set funding for the infrastructure.
Imagine thinking this actually impacts the social system of us. No germany currently isnt cutting down on it because of that but because the Union has always been stupid and has always been fucking over the poor and workers trying to appease the fasco voters of the AfD (it wont work)
Dont need to imagine it, just look in the mirrow :)
Hey, question. How is it going knowing that millions of your people now will die because of the new Tax and health rework because now they have to pay for their own medicine that keeps them alive, but cant afford it?
Its only been 6-7 months since and USA been fuuuck so hard internally and its position on the world stage. 3 years and 5-6 months still to go with this! And that is IF he volunteering gives up his power again.
Is it enought making fun of the USA? I can keep on going:)
Not European, but I hope too Europeans grow a spine, and hold their NATO diplomats accountable today.
Skip the protest, go straight demotion and enlisting antifascists.
Don’t bow down to the psychopath! You know he’s going to just pull out of NATO anyway.
If the US dumps NATO, that’s all the more reason to increase defence funding. Either that or start learning Russian.
