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.

It's like saying that my grandma agrees to something a YouTuber said about a tiktoker, China and Brazil are in a different continent
The aggression is one sided, once that side stops and retreats from the invaded lands, there's immediate peace. That's so easy.
God bless her, but your grandma isn't a significant European financial power or a major global south semi-colony like Brazil or China.
The US is frantic to maintain control over Europe and delegitimize its rivals, if the US could wave a magic wand, every rival countey would belong to the level of Russia and Venezuela, legally barred from accessing the UN for fear of arrest. Switzerland acknowledging the diplomatic weight of China and Brazil is very significant.
China is a dictatorship under a genocidal regime.
Brazil's government is happy to suck dick for international cash.
What we need is to give Ukraine drone swarms so every worthless vatnik can be put out of our misery.
The only thing that has to change is fewer Ukrainians need to be hurt, which is why we need to arm them with the absolute best so they can glory over the Russian trash in old Soviet junk.
Russia picked a fight with a country a fraction of their size and got humiliated, par for the course for Russia historically, they've always been a joke.
I don't think that a swiss ministry is significant at all in this question. While the headline says "Switzerland" as the whole country, it's just the opinion of a single person in the government.
It's completely impossible that he got bribed to say that, or that he has other personal interests, right? It never happened in the history
I think if the foreign affairs ministry was contaminated just to make an errant statement, we would at least see a backlash within the Swiss government. There is no evidence of this.
