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.

Russian puppet Trump.
Or hell, maybe not. Maybe Trump is just so legitimately stupid and fascist that his every action is the exact opposite of beneficial for society, and Russia is just enjoying the good luck of boosting such a moron.
the bloc was created to “screw” America
Yes, to screw with America's ability to play European countries against each other. Now he's mad they're not his little play things anymore.
I am genuinely shocked if we got something we didnt expect, that just means half our diplomats and politicians dont watch the news
Trump used to be rather transactional, though.
It's an evil logic, but there was an internal logic behind what he did in his first term. He bullied you into submission, and agreed to a deal if he thought it benefits him (him, not the USA).
Now, he's just on full autodestruct. There's zero logic behind it. Not even chaotic franticness like before, just erratic randomness.
He has a deal with Putin. Putin can afford it.
It got a demented narcissist who has gone mask off with his fascism.
Honestly, I’ve been absolutely blown the fuck away at how many people - both here in the states and around the world, both laypersons and people experienced and knowledgeable in geopolitics and history - just straight up ignored the precedent of his first term.
I know a core tenant of geopolitical analysis is “watch what they do, not what they say”… but I think this should be amended to “what what they do and what they try to do, not what they say” in the context of building a model to understand the insanity of the Trump admin. Because he tried to do more than a few things in his first term that he’s now retrying and actually executing on, since he got rid of all the people who stopped him first time around.
You CAN build a model to pretty accurately understand and predict what he’s gonna do. It’s just that it seems most people don’t appear to be including the proper inputs, so their models are garbage.
They got one, it's just Russia threw up the bigger transaction- kompromat.
Others having their own will is the worst thing rape boy orange could ever imagine.
Well no one expects a Russian sleeper agent
