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.

You Americans need to prove that 2A is useful and shoot this treasonous cunt.
String up the traitors
Does anyone else remember the 2016 debate with Hillary Clinton where she accused Trump of being a puppet for Putin, and he interrupted "No puppet, no puppet! You're the puppet!"
Or when Alnur Mussayev, the Russian officer who served in the KGB's 6th Directorate in Moscow, said that Trump was recruited as a Russian agent in 1987, under the codename "Krasnov", when he went to Russia for a "real estate project".
This feels suspiciously like traitorous activity.
Is it because of the way it is?
I'm surprised it took this long. He's already selling U.S. citizenship to Russian mobsters, so why not let them run wild and finish what you started - destroying America.
Reward your friends, punish your enemies. Trump showing that he views Russia as an ally, and Canada as a threat.
If you are a greedy person, the bigger Russia has a lot more to offer than protecting smaller Ukraine's freedom.
Prem'yer-ministr Ameriki Trump
something something treason
Congrats to Putin, he really knows how to play stupid people.
Get ready for weapon sales for Russia!
the secret service will be extra busy.
Yeah I figured this would happen. And when the cost of gas goes up because of his Tarrifs we'll be buying oil from Russia again..
If the US does lift sanctions on select oligarchs from Russia, I think the EU should consider sanctions on select oligarchs from the US.
I can suggest one such oligarch, Elon Musk - he's associated with wielding illegitimate power, manipulating social media and interfering in elections (both national and primary) using wealth.
How about freezing his assets? I don't think he has taken the prudent step of collecting all his money and stowing it under Donald's presidential seat.
And another piece of evidence that Trump is nothing but a Russian agent in the Oval Office. When will the US media finally start to ask about this?
they did that a long time ago
And another piece of evidence that Trump is nothing but a Russian agent in the Oval Office.
Russian puppet, FTFY.
No puppet! No puppet! Yer the puppet! —Puppet in Chief
Or "asset". He may do what Putin wants, but he's not out there decoding messages or leaving dead drops! Yeah, I watched The Americans on FX...
Great show!
When Ukraine's president surprisingly shifted towards Russia, the people engaged in civil disobedience until there was a new president.
What will the US do?
Nothing. 50% of the country loves their strongman president more than freedom or common sense
And the other 50% thinks that the best avenue for social change is to attack people who don't like the latest Disney movie.
You're framing that as a difference in taste when in reality it was a difference in having shitty bigoted views or not. Haven't you fuckers muddied the water enough?
Less than a third of eligible voters voted for Trump.
Less than less than a third voted against him.
Man, what kind of blackmail do they have on trump?
It's the pee pee tapes. I was clear from 2015, people just didn't care.
None,
he's a kindred spirit in the genocidal warmongering asshole category.
I suspect they're the ones who bailed him out back in the 90's when he was almost completely bankrupt. They owned him ever since
Did he ever look happy since he was elected again?
somebody tell me when did America and Russia become allies? i think i missed that part of history class
Officially? Jan. 20, 2025
Uh, very briefly for 4 years between 1941 and 1945, and then more or less at war at all other times of history.
Republicans have always loved Russia and the Commies right?
oh you see Russia is actually, and Im being 100% serious when Im saying this, a bastion of capitalism. its the end result of capitalism.
its just the crony capitalism where society has regressed into a class structure with peasants, nobles, and all of that.
Is there another form of end stage capitalism?
