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.

I think they absolutely will.
And Biden as well believes that and repeatedly said that he believes that.
All the red lines were talked over in private prior to 2022.
BTW, ww3?
We are literally infinitely more powerful than the worthless pieces of shit, and they will just keep needling us and trying to provoke responses elsewhere until we finally turn and stomp their balls in.
This is how they work 'escalate to deescalate', because they believe everyone else is weak, only they are truly strong, so everyone will always back down.
The nazis were exactly the same. We are still shamed for waiting as long as we did to do what was right.
We need to teach them a lesson in a language they understand. Pain and terror.
When was the last time the west won a war?
When's the last time Russia did?
We won both world wars.
China, otoh lost to Vietnam.
But I'm sure Russia is so confident, they should attack, let's see how this goes, should be quick.
We won because we were allied with Russia.
Now we can’t be poor farmers in decades long wars. And you think the west is gonna be able to beat a superpower? You think that rabid nationalism is gonna protect you from nuclear arms?
I'm sorry, what?
I wasn't planning on us going to war with China...
What do you mean "superpower"?
Because Russia is a fraction of the USSR, the smart and functional (read: less vodka-soaked) bits of which were ukraine, you know the ones who invented their nuclear and weapons technology and the reason why the T-14 and Su-57 haven't been used in combat, and why the Sarmat exploded on the pad.
Russia is just a rump state waiting to have its siberian half taken by China, either by force or by corruption.
On one hand, I really hope this is a government astroturfer, because I don’t want to believe someone is this ignorant. On the other hand, it would be really sad if someone is actually getting paid to post something so low effort and obviously whacko.
It's not nationalism.
Russia needs to be destroyed as a state.
I'm not saying we're the best or anything, I'm saying Russia is a threat to peace, so let's finish them now and move on.
They're this joke we just always laugh off and ignore, but why? They'll just keep biting our heels until we finally solve them once and for all.
In what way is Russia a threat to peace?
The moment they remove all troops from Ukraine and Crimea, we can talk about how they're a threat to peace.
Until then, they have to burn.
We’re not gonna talk about everything that happened since the Maiden Coup? The US controlled puppet government of far-right Nazis? The genocide of ethnic Russians for years in east Ukraine? The far-right government allowing establishment of NATO troops & missile deployments along the Russian border for years? The dictatorship reigning over Ukraine, which has banned rival parties, rival media, and refuses to hold elections?
Ukraine has made it perfectly clear, on many occasions, as have all Russia's neighbors, that they hate Russia, and want to see every Russian die horribly.
The fact that they've been fighting like thay have for 3 years should be a hint. The fact that the first thing to happen after the invasion was nato adding more members should be another hint.

We can have peace any time Russia wants, they just have to go back to their shitty country.
You are repeating propaganda lines from bygone days.
US can't even build a hypersonic missile, after Iran, north korea China and Russia have already possessing them for years.
Our nukes are obsolete and so far US just started arsenal update. It's gonna take a lot of time, years.
Also - US capitalists sold out it's manufacturing to China, so what are u gonna do when China sanctions you? New genius capitalist idea - move manufacturing to India hahhahahhaha. Can't make this shit up. Build up India too.
Just remember - Biden knows the real situation, and he's sitting tight and not making too much noise.
Oh dude, oh dude.
You have no idea.
We need to go to war, we absolutely need to go to war.
You think we're as broken and pathetic as Russia is? Really?
We need to make an example.
They said they'd use nukes if Russian territory was violated.
They're Russians, all talk, no balls.
And I would never send troops.
But we should send bombers and erase any ground forces like we were having fun, they're a joke country and 50 years behind us, they cannot stop us.
End the war now, don't let it drag on, that is the larger risk.
