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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

Yugoslavia was engaging in ethnic cleansing having killed over ten thousand civilians which lead to the displacement of almost a million people. That is the definition of a fucking genocide son.
Where in the fuck you think this was okay and didn't need an intervention I am not sure. The NATO bombing was criticized for killing a lot of civilians and destroying infrastructure. Was it the right call? I guess we will never know for sure.
What we do know is Yugoslavia was murdering far more civilians than NATO did. The intervention also lead to a peace agreement.
Ukraine HAS NOT JOINED NATO. Why spread lies to justify murder. It really makes you look like a piece of shit.
NATO has never invaded another country in a war of conquest, guess who has!? Fucking Russia.
If Russia put down it arms today and dismantled its military you think NATO would invade it!? That they would violate their commitments just like Russia ALREADY DID WITH UKRAINE.
Is NATO representative of the fascist fucks in the US? Certainly. We all known the US is responsible for the most deaths in human history.
That has nothing to do with the death and destruction Russia has brought on Ukraine in what can only be described as a war crime of unbelievable magnitude. They have forced their countrymen to die for literally nothing. Killing their closest ally in a sick game of propaganda.
And here you are parroting their lies. Pretty pathetic.
