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.
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.

If Kremlin gives angry speeches, you know you’re doing the right thing 👍🏻
Uh oh, this is Russia's final warning to the UK, for about the fiftieth time.
This bit in the article is interesting:
Cezary Tomczyk, Poland’s deputy defence minister, said this month Warsaw was preparing for the possibility of a full-scale conflict.
Tomczyk told Super Express media: “We are preparing for war, hoping it never happens.”
When I read this headline I immediately thought of: https://united24media.com/world/mystery-blasts-rock-russias-pacific-waters-days-after-nuclear-sub-fired-missile-salvo-21975
Lots of strange stuff happening with Russia right now. Meanwhile they're ramping bombing in Ukraine. Weird times.
Isn't that dictator also working with other countries to get gear for his war?
Kettle and black and something
How many times have they threatened us with nuclear torpedos capable of causing a tsunami to wipe out london now? 6? 7?
While that particular bit was pretty egregious, as I recall, that was Russian state television rather than the Russian government.
Like, I'm not excusing it, but its target audience is going to be the Russian public, rather than external countries. There's a certain level of non-credibility that you're going to expect.
If Denmark is too dangerous a target for Putin to attack, I don't think UK has much to worry about.
Denmark has broken the barrier for aid to Ukraine multiple times. Like giving F16 fighter jets, and allowing Ukraine weapons production on Danish soil, outside the reach of Russia, and pioneering the so-called Danish model regarding weapons production in Ukraine financed by other countries. Denmark is also the biggest contributor to Ukraine per capita.
And Mette Frederiksen the Danish PM has worked hard in EU and the world to help secure more international help to Ukraine.
And as a people we are probably also among the strongest supporters of Ukraine. Nobody is complaining about the high level of aid we give Ukraine. Russia has not managed to scare us off.
Needless to say Russia has given many warnings to Denmark, but the one playing with fire is Putin. If he attacks into EU things will only get worse for Russia. They will NOT scare us off. And even without USA, both UK and France have the ability to retaliate with nuclear weapons.
