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.

What you miss is that by supporting appeasement to russia, you are the one encouraging more war. Yes russia wants to keep expanding. Putin has said this directly.
NATO 'expansion' is when countries ask to join and then are admitted . Around russia, countries join nato for the defensive pact. If russia doesn't want countries on their borders banding together to protect themselves from Russian aggression, then they shouldn't have been so aggressive. Russia has absolutly no right to attack it's neighbors just because they want to be able to defend themselves.
Yes, it sucks for the civilians on all sides when Russia attacks. The only solution is for russia to stop attacking - which they could do any day. But they're a war mongering country, so will only stop when they run out of the ability to attack.
See now, I tried telling you, that you're whole thought process is taken over by the absolutely normal bias one gets from living a normal live in the west and is only mildly interested in politics. One can only think in the propagandized patterns learned from the ruling system.
Good guy Marx said: "The ruling ideas of each age have ever been the ideas of its ruling class."
You actively have to break through that, by critically open your mind for different perspectives. Here in this thread has been another conversation that also touches on your appeasement critique, I recommend you read the very thoughtful commentary of @Socialism_Everyday@reddthat.com from this comment on downwards, it's not that much and while they're in discussion with someone else, they're explaining it better and calmer, than I'm able to. Have a good day.
Thanks for the mention, comrade. You're doing the lord's work here.
It's not a matter of explaining Marxism ffs. It's that russia is attacking Ukraine. Countries want to join nato to protect themselves from exactly what russia is doing. Russia's current actions are destabilizing and dangerous for the rest of the world. Other countries will always prioritize their own best interests; but in this case, many countries' best interests are to support Ukraine against russia so as to weaken russia and teach them not to be aggressive. Russia needs to be forced to change course.
