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.

ooh, sanctioning Russia to force them to stop their attack! That's such a new and great idea!!
I wonder why the US and EU hadn't thought of that, before very stable genius Trump came up with it.
You know, even if it's the exact same shit, I'll take it. Just feeding Ukraine to Russia was on the table.
My point is: All the western states have already been sanctioning Russia for years now.
It's news because everyone assumed he would just stop sending stuff to Ukraine and saying Russia, you get whatever you want to claim.
Everyone already understood that, my dude.
I think what that person is saying is: even if Trump tries (and fails) by doing the same shit that's already been tried and failed, that is STILL better than what Trump hinted at doing, which is feeding Ukraine to the wolves.
Bold of you to assume Trump will do what ~~he says~~ anonymous sources say he will
[X] Doubt
Let me guess, it's a "sanctions plan" that contains weaker sanctions than are already being applied.
Just tell russia to fuck off right out of Ukraine.
That's not what Trump's bosses, Musk and Putin, want.
I know :(
They're going to pressure Moscow by... pressuring Ukraine via cold-turkey aid shutoff lol
I’d expect him to put Ukraine on a silver platter and hand it over to Putin, but if he’s able to get Russia to fuck off from Ukraine then yay, i guess.
I suppose it might be that first term he wasnt expected to win, so the only one with any sway was Putin, the Saudis, the MAGA nutjobs and other outside influence.
At this point though corporate US knows how to manipulate him, so I hope a more Dubya / Raegan style presidency is in order. Which are still disasters, but less so Trump 1.0
Trump said he’d end the war in a day. If it’s not over by Tuesday, I may start thinking he wasn’t being honest.
It would just be absolutely hilarious, in the darkest way if Trump turned out to be the most progressive leader we've had since FDR. Like the universe is giving Monty Python energy.
Advisers to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump are developing a comprehensive sanctions strategy aimed at facilitating a diplomatic resolution to the Russia-Ukraine war, Bloomberg reported on Jan. 16, citing anonymous sources familiar with the discussions.
Alternative headline, "People in Trump's administration who are slightly less beholden to Russia than he is float trial balloon that Donald will slap down with a tweet when he cares enough to even say anything about it"
