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.

Oh if they could, they would
I was about to say, they tried. They have been trying for three years. They've committed a TON more forces than Ukraine, and still haven't made significant progress. The invasion is a military failure on pretty much every level, and it's only the most delusional that think Russia still has any chance of actually pulling off a successful annexation or occupation for any significant length of time.
When he dies it’s going to be the party of the century
After he leaves office, I don't really want to think about him again.
Do not forget that he is thinking about a third term!
Doesn't he sell Trump 2028 and rewrite the rules? That's more than just thinking about it.
I’m hoping the good lord takes him home soon
And leave us with Vance? It's the same incompetence.
Vance doesn’t have the cult following and won’t be able to garner the loyalty. Cults always fail apart when they lose their leader

The Republicans will be all too busy backstabbing each other for the foreseeable future in such a scenario. Trump is in the position he is in now because a majority of GOP voters have a stupid fucking cultish worship of him and nobody else. They tried pushing for other less erratic GOP candidates, but they had managed to brainwash their moronic voters so effectively that they are no longer capable of worshipping anyone else but Trump.
As soon as he is gone, it is going to be a free-for-all among the Republicans, an absolute clusterfuck of a fight to become the next Trump and Vance is not going to be even remotely close to being a candidate for that. He is Trumps pick because he is a spineless vapid non-entity with even less brains than Trump himself. He will not be in a position to do much except getting betrayed by his own party for the rest of the term.

Trump the coward. The definition of 'getting peace' is to just make the smaller side capitulate to the bigger one. And then act surprised when said peace doesn't hold long.
No surprises that Russia is volunteering to mediate the Iran-US conflict either. Friends always watch each other's backs.
A mediator doesn't take sides. It's the most basic principle. If you're gonna do that - taking the easiest and cowardly way - just step aside and let more competent people handle it before you make an even bigger mess. Some 'help' simply isn't worth the hassle.
And Russia did not take more land for a simple reason - not because of concessions or kindness, but because the small David held their ground against the Goliath invading them. It's that simple, nepo crybaby.
This man is just so unbelievably stupid. smh.
Much kindness, such wow
In the US there is this new slur "Trump hater", which is apparently a negative trait to have..I think it is supposed to mean you're clinically insane..Because who in their right mind doesn't love Trump??
