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.
-
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 10/19
-
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.

The Russian president, however, claimed he was open to compromise, with the Kremlin calling on the US to join it in dividing up the natural resources for the two nations to share
bruh
The government is Fully in Bed with Russia. Pete has a Russian Email.
And Gabbard is a big fan of RT
Yeah once I realized putin was obssessed with arctic resources it became obvious why trump is obsessed with taking greenland and canada.
Oh cute, it's like a little throwback to the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact.
For anyone wondering, yes it's the same Molotov
But... How?
The Molotov-cocktail was a finnish strategy of dealing with tanks during the Winter War in 1939-40.
Molotov was the foreign minister of the USSR and he apparently said that the russian bombers were dropping bread for the finnish people. To no ones surprise, they didnt drop bread, they dropped incendiary cluster bombs.
So the Finns started called bombs "Molotov bread baskets" and then returned the favor with their homemade cocktails.
Putin said the world should not take Trump’s comments lightly and claimed Moscow would be ready to protect its interests in the Arctic if NATO nations expand their territory in the region.
Greenland is already a part of NATO. The US owning it would not expand NATO territory.
uhhh, you also don't own Greenland
He rather has an independant Greenland he can infiltrate & convert than it being a permanent US territory.
But the US has already been infiltrated
You don't want to put all your eggs in one basket.
is Putin a comedian now?
I did chuckle inside when I read the post, so maybe.
Though I think he's been laughing for some time now so he could be hysterical with how things have panned out.
NY Post are comedians. Putin didn't say anything mentioned in the article.
Soon agent krasnov will miraculously forget about his ambitions for greenland.
Because he was server polonium tea from his buddy pootie?
I’m holding out for falling out a window.
Just yesterday, I read a comment that literally said Greenland doesn’t have to worry about Russia because America was the bigger threat.
Like, yall realize Russian agents have infiltrated the US government and manipulated its election results, right?

Keep repeating it because there* are people on here that continue to deny it.
Ah! The good old Soviet disinformation technique "firehose of falsehood" also known as "flood the zone with shit".
...this is just staging plausible deniability for the russian asset...
I think Putin told trump he hid the pee pee tapes in Greenland.
Political theater.
What? You think Donny had that idea on his own? PHAhaha
Yeah unfortunately it makes sense now. Sigh.
I’m convinced that Trump only wants Greenland so that he has an even biglier piece of stolen land than Putin has with Ukraine. It’s all a tiny dick-measuring contest.
Putin realizes this fact and puts out a message like this to remind his subordinate (Trump) of his place.
I could be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure it's because, in spite of publicly denying its existence, they are very aware that climate change will make once difficult to tame lands very highly valuable in the near future. A good deal of all that ice and snow to the north will become much less of an issue within many of our lifetimes.
It will take between 1,000 and 15,000 years for the ice to melt on Greenland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenland_ice_sheet#Thresholds_for_total_ice_sheet_loss
I was not aware of this projected timeline, so thank you for sharing. Still, Canada and Greenland each have a lush of natural resources, and the promise of more down the line (even if it is a good ways down that line), making them desirable assets for people who seek and wish to maintain power.
They're getting in on the ground floor.
Daddy has spoken. Trump will back off now.
