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.

Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov expressed surprise that a representative of the civil aviation industry would make such statements. He said these statements effectively call for further escalation of tensions.
"It is obvious that more and more Europeans are losing their restraint and balanced approach. Unfortunately, some are making provocative statements and calling for further steps to escalate tensions. We view such statements with utter disapproval," he emphasized.
Putin and restraint, name a more iconic duo
Peskov is the equivalent of a dirty diaper. Whatever he says doesn't matter.
“Whatever comes out of him is complete shit”
Dmitry Peskov said: "Why is he involved in nuclear weapons?"
"Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov expressed surprise that a representative of the civil aviation industry would make such statements."
I have to think that Peskov knows Airbus is not just a civil aviation company... He does know that Airbus is a major defense contractor, right? The European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS) just rebranded itself as Airbus 10 years ago. The literally make missiles. Why wouldn't the CEO of a company that makes weapons talk about making weapons?
Restraint and balanced, like bombing children?
Meh he's a European citizen too. He's entitled to his opinion just as I am to mine.
And I agree with him. With the US pulling their nuclear umbrella away we need more deterrent against Russia so that they never consider attacking us.
I think we should have more strategic weapons though, not tactical. The type that you have just to never use. For tactical ones the barrier is lower to use them. Too low, IMO.
