World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

Not the same thing. Russia is a brutal invader, Ukraine is defending it's sovereignty
Russia is the one defending itself in front of Nato expansion but this is not a conversation you are ready for
you’re such a vatnik limp dick dipshit bitch
You have no arguments to support your imperialist country and resort to this
It's incredible that you could frame a literal imperial invasion of Ukraine by Russia as everyone else being imperialist. It's just completely ignorant and has all the energy and logic of a trump decree.
Russia and the Soviet Union has a very long history of imperialism and colonization and, if that sort of thing bothers you, you should be critical of Russia.
Ussr wan never colonialist, in fact they tried to help Korea Vietnam, Afghanistan burhina Faso against imperialism.
Russia was faced with tho very hard decision. Act as an aggressor now or wait to be invaded later. They would have been portrayed as villains either way so they took the right one
Who tf would want to invade russia, and why? There’s nothing but shit there, to a degree that not even all russians can tolerate it, and move out. Even the nice areas that russia has historically invaded have all turned to shit.
No-one likes you guys, just deal with it and stay in your country. If you feel you need more land, just look east, you’ve got plenty of bog you already own over there, no need to be expansionist little shits.
First of all I am not Russian. This proves how limited you are
Russia is the jewel of the crown for western imperialism. The country is not only resource rich but it has a lot of geopolitical influence.
I see you are into propaganda but next time try harder because this one does not stick
A wannabe-russian then, that’s somehow even worse! I strongly suggest you go and visit that ”crown jewel” then, I dare you. I have had the opportunity a couple of times and can tell you nothing gives you better view of how things are over there. Though I can only imagine how much more absurd things have become in the past few years.
Looks like a really nice country
