Let's say Russia invaded and occupied Alaska. The US tried to get them out but couldn't. After valiant fighting for years they turn to the international community for help. The EU accuse America of starting the war and start directly negotiating with Russia without the US at the table. The rest of the world says you need to sign this deal to give us your resources but we won't guarantee your security in return but as part of the deal to end the war swiftly you need to let Russia have Alaska. The US says that is unacceptable and the rest of the world says that they are being disrespectful and don't really want peace.

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.

Let’s say someone flew passenger airplanes into US office buildings, and all western allies are eager to help - even when US lies about who is involved in the attack. No, wait…
Pro-Russia idiots wouldn't understand it because "that would never happen". I can see the mental gymnastics now...
Look at that f u c k i n g fireplace mantel; that used to have class to it's decor. Every administration took pride in giving the Oval Office their touch. Look at Jimmy Carter's office:
Carter had a clean, understated look. Obama and Biden took a lot of inspiration from the Carter administration.
Now our national office looks like it was decorated by a 12 year old boy still clinging onto all of his T-ball participation trophies he "won" over half a decade ago.
Before you say anything, yes, I know this is such a non-issue in the face of all the actual issues being engineered by this technocratic regime, but... I'm tired, boss. I've been screaming about this for years and now the only energy I have left is to pedantically nit-pick the decor choices of US federal administrations. Life is... non-ideal.
I noticed that too when I watched the video. He's too obsessed with gold and has always been garish with it. I'm sure it's why he paints himself orange too. It's weird.
Ever since his unfortunate smelting accident...
Ah, yes, Trump, aka Goldfucker
Guess which one is the only country that didn’t state support. Why did you think of Italy? (I’m Italian)
Nah, you got Hungary too. All the fash.
Giorgia Meloni is trying to position herself as a mediator between America and Europe, which honestly I think is a fool's errand, but it is in line with her Atlanticist foreign policy.
I would have personally preferred a real, firm, statement towards Ukraine's support but until we'll have people like Salvini - a Putin's lover - and his 'Lega Nord' party in the government it is infeasible to expect it.
At the same time FdI (Meloni's party) has historically been pretty pro-ukraine, so I will be very surprised if something is not going to happen in the next few days.
Remember that this quote is from Crosetto, the current Minister of Defence, just a few days ago: "Peace, however, must not mean humiliating a free people who have done nothing but die and sacrifice to defend themselves."
I'm not in line with their national policies - by a wide margin - but currently Meloni's party and the Partito Democratico are the only pro-ukraine voices in Italian politics with some weight
It's depressing.
Good. The rest of our traditional allies must remain united and in lockstep with Ukraine.
Trump under the direction of Putin is clearly attempting to fracture the Western alliances in order to gain relative strength. It seems most of these countries recognize the game being played and aren't taking the bait thankfully.
I'll feel much better if Canadian elections go well.
Don’t look at Trump the Orange Turd looks terrible.
