World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

Lol, Putin must be super desperate if he's relying on NK to supply them. The US should just invade at this point, because I highly doubt their nukes are still functional.
Why would the US want to invade russia
Resources of course.
But we already have vodka and despair
Imagine having more vodka and despair lol.
Russia vodka has been garbage for decades anyway.
One nuke is enough. No one will ever invade Russia.
No, no it's not. There are plenty of systems in place that could intercept an icbm, and many of those are aimed right at Russia. At the moment the only real hope of MAD would be if Russia could fire a large enough number to overload such systems.
Nukes and icbms are very expensive to maintain, and the Russian leadership has been embezzling a ton of that money for decades. It wouldn't be a far stretch, given their losses in the Ukraine, to assume that their nuclear capabilities suffered the same fate.
Plus, I'm sure the US has a spy satellite network pointed at Russia 24/7 to monitor their nuclear activities.
The real reason it won't happen is because Putin has a ton of dirt on the GOP and likely has it on a Deadman switch (the DNC's emails weren't the only ones hacked).
Russia is still under sanctions, so it's probably trading stuff it has to spare - food, fertilizer, and oil/gas, meaning this is something that's beneficial for them.
North Korea is probably handing over some of their older weapons (so they don't have to maintain or dispose of them) as well as some of their newer weapons so that they can get feedback on how those weapons perform in real life combat, so this is something that is wish beneficial for them.
Since Russia and North Korea share a border, this trade seems almost inevitable.
Yeah, you should see the quality of the artillery charges they're getting.
Quantity has a quality of its own.
Yeah until your artillery corps is full of shrapnel from a barrel detonation
NK's logistic chain is definitely compromised, but it's hard to tell if it is due to piss-poor quality control or "Eldest Son" sabotage.
Either way, Russia really doesn't want to be using NK-produced weapons and ammunition.
Russia is China’s puppet, even if the US could walk into Moscow freely, they would have to deal with Beijing
