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.

yep. all it took was some brainwashed rednecks and a metric fuckton of apathy
I think Putin's push is a direct result of US and UK just straight up ignoring the cooperation of the UN Security Council in 2001.
Against the entire world wishes, votes and resolutions passed in the UN..
The US and UK straight up ignored it all and invaded a sovereign nation.
Once that precedent was established, and it was obvious the decorum of the UN Security Council wasn't going to be respected, Russia and China changed gears....
When they realized that any buffoon (Bush) could one day just be put in charge of the US and decide to invade another country and nothing would stop them, they started preparing long term.
This is exactly it. Once it became clear it was "rules for thee and not for me" the gears were set in motion.
The gears were set in motion much sooner. The plan to destabilize the US from within using hybrid means seemes to have been there since Khrushchev and it got a lot of traction by the end of the 90s with publication of The Foundations of Geopolitics.
I'm not even sure if brainwashed is the right term since it's clearly a deep anti-intellectualism coupled with deep resentment of established society. They have been voting for this kind of thing in the USA long before Putin got his disinformation machine involved.
You kind of need a brain to have washed and "you’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons."
i figured that machine started running shortly after nixon
You're correct. Roger Ailes and Fox News are the primary actors: https://www.vox.com/2017/5/19/15660888/roger-ailes-america-trump-television-fox-news
That’s a very good article.
That's a take that ignores the history of the Soviet Union, it's collapse in 1991, and Russia's embrace of capitalism and oligarchy after that. Putin himself didn't even come into direct power until 1999.
We can thank those who support the disparity in wealth for that one.
Metric? You mean IMPERIAL 🦅🇺🇸🔫
You'll use whatever Vlad tells Trump to tell you to use.
