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.

Trump to Baltic states: "I am altering the deal, pray I do not alter it further."
Just kidding: "You better say nice things about me or you're next!"
The Baltics are in a much stronger position than Ukraine. They are in Nato already, and are geographically important as a buffer to the only Nato members who actually take Russia as a serious threat (Norway, Sweden, Finland and Poland.) Tactically, air and sea defence of the Baltics is externally feasible, and the Baltics nations have focused on building land defense over the recent years. If you combine this with the obvious Russian war fatigue, and lack of resources, it is clear the Russia doesn't have the capacity to invade the Baltics over the next two years at least, even if the Belarusians participated.
All of this becomes even harder if the Russians are gifted Ukraine and have to occupy it militarily.
It's just crap like this

Good job to everyone sacrificing Ukrainian and Palestinian lives to send a message to the Democrats!
Don't forget all the American lives yet to be sacrificed!
But at least they stopped the genocide in Palestine!
Huh, that's weird, .ml is strangely quiet in this thread, you'd think they would have something to say, considering how much they screamed the last 3 months.
I saw the thread about the complaints of voter fraud suddenly stopped. Same here. The calls to end the war have all but disappeared.
Mission accomplished.
They're waiting for new material.
Oh they'll be in here. Their current narrative is that this is all Harris' fault and also it wouldn't matter if they all voted for Harris because she still wouldn't have won.
One of them told me it wouldn't have mattered if they had all voted for Harris multiple times.
Somehow if they had all voted for Harris 300,000,000,000 times, Trump would still have won.
"Why dont the democrats focus on left causes? We won't for them until they do!"
"So you demand everybody base their policy on an historically very unreliable voting bloc at the expense of all other voters?"
"Obviously!!!"
Meanwhile: "Ban abortion, LGBT and interracial marriage while selling the country to mega corporations? We will follow you to the death, oh second coming of christ!!!" -- Evangelicals
The actual creator of Lemmy who I believe is a .ml admin as well, banned me from lemmy.ml because I dared to say that now you have fascism in America because people didn't go out to vote just to protest

They sped it up and they love it
By stopped I’m assuming you mean “finished”?
Just one-issue voters sticking it to the union as usual.

I often see the argument "Which part of your country would you be willing to cede in the name of peace?"
Normally this would be a valid argument, but in trumps case, I'm sure he'd gladly cede California or some other blue state if it meant he gained something from it. He has no scruples or integrity, and thinks other heads of state are the same.
Florida
I can’t wait for Texas to leave. They say the want to, fuckin’ do it pussies.
Edit: yes, I know there are many innocent people there, but it’s not like the federal government is protecting them now anyway.
Blue state anyways ... \s
I would gladly be willing to cede Alabama, Mississippi and Texas for peace.
With a slightly growling Chihuahua I saw across the street.
Or like, a baby kitten that wanted my ball of string.
You know what? This conversation is concerning me, here, take my Texas, please!
As a Canadian I accept California as our next province.
I'm sure a lot of California (except from the meth counties) would like that too these days.
Wait take Illinois too we're good with it I promise
I'm pretty sure most of the blue states, California especially, would be happy to leave the union at this point. What's in it for us?
Imagine all the blue states (2 of which are top 3 in GDP) left the states?! I'll gladly accept Cali and NY into Canada!
Saxony. Although it's basically controlled by Russia already.
Add Thüringen too.
Dumb question, how would the electoral college be reallocated if a large state like California left?
It needs to be realocated even now and it isn't. No reason to think a secession would change things.

Ukraine don't want to give up territory. Russia demands territory to end the war. Trump has offered to resolve this in 24h. The conclusion seems clear: Trump has to offer Russia some parts of the US in exchange for releasing the occupied regions in Ukraine?

Interesting video about the subject from Ryan McBeth
Ryan is good explaining how military operates, how weapon works, but this is really about predicting what trump will do, and frankly this is much harder to do.
We talk about common sense, it is a non brainier, as helping Ukraine stop Russia is the most beneficial thing for the US and the West. As he pointed out, Ukraine losing likely will bring war to the rest of the Europe and Taiwan, but trump might not care.
What worries me is that so far trump never stood up against putin, he insulted many world leaders, but never did that to putin.
The reason likely is that he was almost bankrupt and putin help him get on his feet, he has a huge debt to him.
I also link to Anders Puck Nielsen https://youtu.be/gOwjmKMmkV4 he is generally more familiar with strategy and so far was on point in his comments (I also believe Ryan is watching him too). Again, we are trying to predict what trump will do, which is not as easy and his decisions seem to be more about what gives him immediate benefit.
The absolute worst scenario that could happen is that the NATO collapses. I hope that won't happen.
Trump has been a Russian asset since the 80s. His ties to Russian criminal organizations have been known since then, but the FBI has never been able to get any charges to stick.
The CIA believed that he gave Putin information about current intelligence operations and agents against Russia during his presidency enough to request an inquiry which led to the FBI raid on Mar a Lago, where they found confidential documents on CIA activity amongst all the other confidential documents illegally held there after his term.
He will side with Russia, guaranteed.
The CIA has good reason to believe Trump gave information, because in the span of several weeks after a private meeting with Putin while Trump was president, a whole pile of their Russian and Eastern European intelligence agents and assets dropped off the face of the Earth or wound up dead.
Exactly what I was referring to. It's one of the reasons that the CIA requested the FBI inquiry into Trump that resulted in the raid on Mar a Lago.
but this is really about predicting what trump will do
Trump plays pigeon chess — it knocks the pieces over, craps on the board, and flies back to its flock to claim victory.
