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. 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.

As an outsider looking in, I feel that Ukraine is clearly winning this war. There is no value in accepting the 'plan' of a false ally.
A peace plan drafted by NATO sans the United States would make much more sense, because they would have to deal with the fallout if they made Versailles Treaty v2.0.
So the US idea of a "peace plan" is the capitulation of Ukraine and preparing Russia to take what is left in five years time?
Well trumps plan but everyone already knew that. If the Democrats would have won the last election, it probably would have went in a totally different direction. The Democrats are more aligned with the European countries. The Republicans with the oil producing countries and authoritarians.
Anyone outside of the of the US privileged goons who thought “gaza is not my problem” will soon realized what happened there isnt just a conflict, but a total annihilation of the supposed “international law”
Any country is now free to do whatever the fuck it wants if it can “donate” or “flatter” the rogue state of United states enough… Fuck russia israel and the US, and even the EU which keeps supporting these murdererers under the guise of “neutrality”
Have fun as we head back to a world where borders are decided by force and u can get wiped out because of following the wrong ideology or being the wrong ethnicity
If Russia ends up winning after all this.. all around depressing and sets a very serious precedent.
I don't know how things end, but Ukraine should never have to surrender.
Afaik they are winning, why would they capitulate?
Russia is desperate, their only leverage these days is oil and nukes. They won't nuke anything because they'll get nuked back immediately and hit again with third strike weapons. Ukraine is effectively hammering their oil distribution and production and this Russia is losing leverage.
It would make zero difference. Putin will continue to take more Ukraine soil.
Trump works for Putin. Even when he says he's mad at Putin, he still is in his employ (or being blackmailed).
Trump is probably the most compromised corrupt official to ever get into the White House.
Putin has the pictures of Trump putin Bubba's balls in his mouth
Chamberlain would be proud.
Trump would consider himself as a peace maker, but this would essentially dismantle NATO as it currently is. Nobody would base their security on unstable US.
stop LARPing, US. this doesn't concern you.
