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.

Chernobyl electric boogaloo 2: Zaporizhzhia meltdown
Dear President Zelenskyy,
Do not accept this deal. This is the worst deal in the history of deals.
What is the incentive for the US to provide enough power at reasonable prices? Why does Trump think that Ukranians don't know how to operate their own power plants and need utility expertise?
No: Trump, being Putin's ally, wants to be able to GUT Ukraina ( He's already accidentally spoken of an "agreement" with Russia being Ukraina's surrender ), & Europe.
With him having direct legal-control of Ukrainian-infrastructure, he can hamstring Ukraina legally, helping Putin.
This is unholy-war, in action, we're seeing.

Somebody PLEASE get Zelenskiy to understand that Putin & Trump are committed to butchering ALL of Europe, & that "playing pattycake" with them isn't rational, strategic, or even slightly valid!!
The reason that Trump wants Canada and Greenland is so that a pincer between Trump & Putin can DESTROY Europe, leaving only-them as world "kings".
SOMEBODY GET HIM TO UNDERSTAND THIS ISN'T THE US of A THAT HE'S DEALT-WITH IN THE PAST, please?!
( I'd also ask that someone communicate to him that sooner-or-later Trump's going to have him as a guest in the US, .. & just arrest him, to hand-over to Putin, probably later-this-year, the way things are going )
Trump+Musk is Putin's Apprentice & Accomplice.
This has been setting-up for about 4 decades..
IF Zelenskiy won't understand, THEN .. Ukraina's lost.

Nah, agreeing to this is a five parallel universes ahead of trump politics ftom Zelensky. You see, the power plant in question is already taken by russians. So, in potential talks about it you must compare the US ownership over it with russian ownership, not with ua ownership. To get russia to concede a taken asset just as a gesture is not on the table. However if somehow it happens (it wont, its just a trump-gpt hallutinating), ua will get energy from ir and paper's title will be "russia secedes territory control to US". All around win win for ua, probability is close to 0 and Zelensky gets a free pass on talking " yes" to some trump bs.
Only the power plants that Russia already blew up😉
