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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 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.

It's really disappointing that so many countries don't help more. The average being only a tenth of Nordic countries per capita!
If Ukraine loses, what would that mean for the countries that did help?
Would it have just been a waste of money for them that also resulted in more deaths for Ukrainians? Yeah, Russians died too, but was that worth it?
Yes.
Every dead Russian man of military age isn’t available to attack my country.
They’ll use their future indoctrinated Putin Youth for that, but it takes a decade for them to grow up still.
I see. Give Ukrainians weapons so they fight a hopeless war while Western troops do drills.
Maybe the Ukrainians would have been better off if they just surrendered. They don't seem to be getting much out of being cannon fodder for the West.
So they could get genocided and would be unable to resist? Smrt plan tankie!
As opposed to what's happening now?
At least they could adapt to their new country or flee with their lives. Instead, thousands of them are dead and the war is still lost.
But they made the West happy, right? That's all that matters?
There's millions that did flee and the West gave them homes. There's been plenty of friction, but what would you expect. Notably, they didn't flee east
And its Russia that's blowing up schools, hospitals and apartments.
Russia is literally taking children from their parents in the occupied region and “re-educating” them to be Proper Russians
You think that would stop if Putin controls ALL of Ukraine? He’d just let them be?
What other choices did they have?
To STAY THE FUCK OUT OF A SOVEREIGN COUNTRY maybe I dunno
What choice did the Russians have besides kidnapping and child trafficking? Is that what you're asking?
The Russian economy is collapsing now. So there is no way Ukraine will lose this war.
But supporting Ukraine will help them get their territory back, and make Ukraine win faster.
Sure it is buddy. Ukraine can only not lose more. They aren't gonna win.
Two day old account, lol. Blocked.
lol. fuck off.
Yeah, you can just ignore the hard questions and go watch a Disney movie.
These are not hard questions, you’re just an idiot.
Cute attempt.
