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.

True, Russia should be Albanian
Give it back to the Swedes.
Russia wants to have regions that are developed and have a friendly open society, so they can apply their russian system there, grind it down with their corruption and make it look like Norilsk, where pollution is killing their citizens. They can not create. Only destroy. They have no working system for society or regulations. It is orc behavior.
Stop dehumanising hundreds of millions of people that brought us cultural and scientific advancements over the past centruies, forever enriching the human civilization.
Yes, currently Russia is a corrupt shithole on it's way to conquer Ukraine (which is, thankfuly, failing to do), but that does not make people living there "orcs". This kind of hate speach leads to severe dehumanisstion and eventual ethnic violence against the targeted group.
I didn't see any mention of Russian people in their comment other than referring to them being victims of bad policy. It's all clearly targeted at the Russian leadership/government.
They can not create. Only destroy. They have no working system for society or regulations. It is orc behavior.
Please...
True, but it has always been a part of the Russian mind set that they are a master race and have a full right to veto their neighbors sovereignty, by force if necessary. Although saying this we must remember that not all who live inside Russian borders truly consider themselves Russian. It's a big country with a large ammount of different ethnicities. Many that are treated like second rate citizens or even subhumans. There are "Russians" and then there are Russians. In this case I'd take the innocence of the common man with a grain of salt.
You can stop conflating Russia with the USSR at any time. It's a false comparison.
I am not. Even the idiotic Russian Empire produced scientific and cultural progress.
That's an... interesting opinion.
This reminds me that in 1999 Putin promised that the Russian GDP per capita would be the same as Portugal's by 2020. How's that going?
Ah, that's they want to annex Portugal, so they can bring their GDP down to Russia's levels and fulfill that promise.
I guess Portugal is in Eastern Europe after all
This is silly, weak propaganda, but the EU + NATO would completely end Russia (& Belarus for good measure) if they ever did something so suicidal.
Honestly after seeing them struggle to project force into Ukraine, a country they border, I think Portugal could probably just handle any Russian invasion on their own.
There's no way that would end up happening, they would meet the full EU + NATO force, but it's funny to think about.
Personally, I'm glad that he has calibrated his bullshit so that not a single thinking person on this planet can possibly think that he's talking sense. Previously he has been saying things that are absurd but which can be thought of having some historical basis, at least in an academic sense. But Lisbon? No sense at all.
Lol, if it's hard to convince ex-soviet nations how hard is it going to be to get Western europe to be Russians. It's pure, delusional propaganda. The guy probably couldn't look at himself in the mirror that day.
The guy probably doesn’t even know where Lisbon is.
Edit: Hey, let’s give them Lisbon, Fl, or maybe…. One of the two in Wi… (in the US,)
They already have some parts of Florida.
