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.

There is only a war in Ukraine because Pootin illegally invaded it.
War could stop tomorrow if he pulled forces back to Russias border.
Ukraine attacking russia in their territory with US and NATO weapons isn't going to make russia stop, it will give russia even more claims to keep up with the war. That's how weapons give you more war.
But it ok for Russia to attack any part of Ukraine?
Typical bully behaviour- attacking someone weaker than themselves and then complaining when the victim fights back.
They are not just complaining about it they are using it as leverage to their propaganda and to send more people into war.
Bullies a lot of times don't attack you directly, they threaten you and piss you off until you end up attacking them. The reality of this war and pretty much all others is that there's a bunch of rulers who benefit from war and seek more of it not less. During the past century USA and Russia have been provoking and fighting each others directly and in proxy wars. Cutting military budget to 0 is how you stop wars.
"Cutting to zero".
Wishful thinking. One side cuts to zero hoping the other side does the same, only to be attacked.
Or, Russia stops its illegal war of aggression.
You can defend yourself from an attacker even if your government gives 0 public money to the war industry.
I know I shouldn't feed the troll, but you're going to have to expand on that last statement.
I know i shouldn't answer to idiots but here you go:
You and your government are two different things. If someone attack you you can defend yourself even if the government doesn't put a gun in your hands. Some example? The 200$ drones they are using in ukraine to defend themself.

Do you not think a trained professional military could make that guerrilla warfare more costly for the occupiers? Couldn't an effective military simply prevent the invasion?
Check out the CNT-FAI and how well that strategy worked for them in the late 30s.
