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.

Ukraine would have to cede territory and reject Nato membership in order to reach a deal.
wow so exactly what putin wants. what a fucking moron.
"If one side will just bow their head and give in to all the other sides demands we'll surely reach a deal!" fucking dipshits. art of the deal my ass.
And give up half a trillion in 'rare earths'. That'll be a hard no, and Trump wants to end NATO anyway. What horseshit.
I wonder how much of that territory trump negotiated for himself. And do you think he consulted Zelensky? Cause I'm pretty sure that guy said the peace talks will only start at returning territory and self determination.
Here's to hoping everyone else continues to arm Ukraine, it has been the single best investment into the fight against Russian tyranny in our lifetimes. And as a side benefit, it seems to be militarily weakening North Korea too.
wow so exactly what putin wants. what a fucking ~~moron~~ Putin simp.
FTFY. Stop pretending Trump doesn't know what he's doing. He knows what he's doing, and he's doing it on purpose.
Did anyone ask Ukraine what they want?
The phone call:
Putin: “Do what I say, bitch tits”
Trump: “Yes”
It's cute to think Musk would let trump take the call
I am sure Putin will get a great deal.
You can't assuage bullies.
2014: Russia occupies Crimea. "Oh well, there isn't much you can do. Just let Russia have it and they'll be content"
2022: Russia occupies more of Ukraine. "Oh well, there isn't much you can do. Just let Russia have it and they'll be content"
Anyone wanna place bets for when Russia comes for the rest? Because they will come for the rest.
So Russia walks off with 1/5 of Ukraine and Ukraine doesn't even get a guaranteed security measure? Fuck Ukraine for wanting to divorce their psycho husband that now wants to murder them.
The worst deal maker is going to head talks to end the war in Ukraine? Ukraine is sooooo fucked.
Ukraine doesn't have to acknowledge any of it. They are their own nation. Trump is just acting a fool as always
Yeah they can just say piss off to Trump, and take your support with you. We don't need your help!
They can hold on with EU help alone. That said, it will suck balls, and I winder if the EU can pull its head out of its ass for once.
It might be a case where the EU needs to help Ukraine stick it out long enough for the US to pull its head out of its ass in the next 4 years.
At that point, the war will have been going on for 7 years. Ugh.
By that time there likely won't be much left of Ukraine. They'll run out of people eventually while Russia will probably send their elderly, should they have to
Neither side will run out of people, it's all equipment, and Ukraine et al. is just gearing up properly while the Russians are past their prime.
The question is how will they navigate Trump.
Sounds very optimistic and contradictory to reality, especially today when a European strike force has been called for by Nato
Irrespective, Russia has destroyed its demographics. I hope it never recovers.
It will, though. They mostly lost young working age males, whose numbers typically recover within a generation.
Plus they got a few new territories. Those come with some population
War going that badly is it, Vlad?
Look at the terms.
So everybody in the EU seems to have an opinion about the EU not being part of this, or at least that's what the media wants me to believe. How is the UK handling this?
