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.

Expansion (invasion to increase territories)? I think it is pretty clear that it is putin that is pushing for the expansion of russia empire, empire building into new territories.
The puzzling thing is why is Putin pushing/forcing more countries to sign up as NATO member instead of joining his own CSTO. Why is putin increasing its border with NATO and going closer to NATO, while spreading propaganda about NATO "expansion" when everyone clearly know that NATO is a voluntary membership system anyone can apply to join even russia.
i didn't express myself properly with that parenthesis so i edited it out.
the US empire is the one constantly invading and pushing for expansion.
as i said, provoking a war with russia is the stated goal for the CIA there since at least the late 2000s.
Yea US should stop bombing and expanding into Greenland! I have condemned US many times. I won't trust words from CIA you are naive to trust words from CIA and FSB and ex KGBs like putin. If you hate US expansionism into Texas then you should hate russia modern day expansion into other countries, if not you are a hypocrite.
russia (and israel) is the only major country in modern time that is still invading/colonizing to expand its territories. Expanding its empire, russia is adding those new lands it conquered into its constitution.
FSB has been planning the conflict in Ukriane for a very very long time, notice all the failed russia coup attempts inside Ukraine. Sending terrorist, agent and operative into the Donbass region to destabilize the region.
That is also probably why they refuse to let Ukraine join NATO, If Ukraine was in NATO there would be peace in this region like the other NATO countries bordering russia. Russia don't seem to want peace even after trump made a peace deal. The real war in Ukraine has yet to start, russia is not done with its imperial expansionism and colonialism.
All the bombing and funding extremist and coups are stuff that both russia (with their FSB, Nazi wagner group and other nazi groups) and US does but US has yet to expand its territories in modern times.
US expansionism and warmongering is more extensive than every other global south country combined. Their military budget reflects this. I also hate Russia expansionism, they are slight in comparison making them the lesser evil though.
And yes, when the CIA says its going to do something and spends a decade and a half doing it, I think the hint should be taken. This war hasn't started in Ukraine. Much the same way the war has already been started with China, and Taiwan is just the tip of the iceberg.
You just mentioned another war being waged by US money. Israel can only take the almost entirety of the middle east because its an US proxy too. The genocide can only be done because of US weapons, technology, money and backing being poured in huge quantities for Netanyahu to enjoy.
