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.

They let the Russian state media in there, but no AP or Reuters
That’s all you need to know
Always funny when a savage boar tries calling an inspirational figure a pig.
Nobody likes you Russia/Putin. STFU and GTFO.
Russian leaders cheered after President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance dealt Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a brutal smackdown
Who the fuck writes this propaganda? There was no smackdown. There was a lot of whining and shouting by Trump and his sycophant Vance. This reads like it was written by Putin himself and handed to Politico.
It's a quote from Medvedev, so yeah it almost is.
That's not a quote. There are no quotation marks around it, and it doesn't attribute the statement to anyone.
Further down the article it does quote Medvedev
“The insolent pig finally got a proper slap down in the Oval Office,” Medvedev wrote on X.
That's a quote, and it's worded differently than their statement in their opening paragraph.
Upvoting this as "thanks for sharing." I know that's the way, but this one was tough.
Thanks! Yeah, people are downvoting because the Russians are scumfucks. But being able to say "look how ecstatic the Russians are" is more powerful than saying "I bet the Russians are ecstatic." It's important to know even if it's a massive contribution to my current rage spiral.
My involuntary eye twitch from the First Trump Years is returning.
I was asked by a dentist in 2019 if I ground my teeth a lot. I said yes, and he said he could tell.
No shit! I started sleeping with a mouth guard in 2017.
Same.
There certainly is an insolent pig deserving of a proper slap down in the oval office.
Two insolent pigs in human drag suits
I hope every American feels the humiliation of having these bumbling alpha wannabes representing their country.
Insolent pigs is how the US now sees the rest of the world as well. Except Russia and China.
Every single leader and citizen is an insolent pig to Americans and Russians. We are pawns and commodities in their race to the bottom of humanity and to prevent progress.
They are cultural bullies told from birth they are special because of their collective strength.
Greece is striking and protesting in the hundreds of thousands over the rail incident.
France rioted over retirement age.
The French Revolution happened in a society of poverty and oppression.
But every day we hear how it's not possible, we are all trapped in our jobs.
No, you don’t care enough because you are a bully culture. And a lot of you see benefit in the results of this upcoming war killing billions while you drill baby drill.
You are allowing everything taught to you as example from history. From Jesus to Galileo to Hitler. So what is it? Malice or stupidity? Hint: it’s both on a national scale. This is what you did with the freedom you jerked over the world, and the role of protector you took and now ask payment for.
Your president is a traitor to your country. Your country is a traitor to humanity.
Nobody intelligent sees anything but WWIII being Americas fault. Allowed by the greedy and stupid to be perpetrated by their gods - old white men and billionaires who all plan to leave us to die.
They consider deumpf crying about his personal grievances and crying in Putin's behalf a smackdown? Pretty fucking weak show of power LMAO
He whines just like a Russian politician.
"Finally"
Because after 3 years of full-on war, they haven't been able to themselves.
Weak even when trying to sound tough.
I upvote for keeping us informed.
If we upvote only content we like, we end up in a bubble.
We are so fucked.
The endless praise of Trump from Russia will never convince Republican voters, who are still certain that Trump is the only one who will be 'tough' on Russia.
Fuckwits.
Trump's diplomacy: ultimatums, insults, and chaos—what could possibly go wrong?
😾😾😾😾
