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.

Has the US/west made any statements or moves towards moving nuclear weapons into Finland? Seems like that would be unnecessary.
Doesn't matter. Any nuclear attack on ANY NATO ally is seen as a direct attack on the US/NATO members.
This is just a dork waving his 3 inch dick.
Finnish legislation strictly forbids storing nukes inside our borders, even transporting them via our territory is a no-no. But laws can be changed.
Putin's whining about nuking Finland is ridiculous. Most of the time the prevailing winds here blow to the general eastern direction, detonating a nuke or few above our capital would nicely contaminate both St.Petersburg and the Finnish Gulf right in front of it. And using tactical/strategic nukes against our defences would happen near the Karelian border, which would irradiate Putin's and his cronies precious dachas located in the stolen Karelia.
So they most likely won't be doing that. But on the other hand Russia has clearly demonstrated that their actions are not based on rational thinking, so it remains to be seen.
Russia has nukes in Belarus and Kaliningrad Oblast.
Double standards and pussy sabre rattling. All they know is huffing and puffin.
We often loan weapons to allies. I have not heard Finland ask for nuclear weapons.
Oh you 'loan' nuclear weapons do you? Lmao
Yes the United States loans them.

Huh that phrasing is actually a thing? TIL. Not really sure it conveys situation properly though. Like saying you share chlamydia.
Yeah it’s a weird thing but it’s a thing. It’s to prevent them from building their own weapons.
That's not the reason though.
That’s exactly the reason. The deal is we let them drop the bomb in return they don’t build one. We control the weapon on their land but they get to drop it in a war.
That's a contradictio in terminis.There's no way the US lets other counties decide when to drop their nuclear bomb.
The real reason of course is the US wants influence, and the countries it wants influence over agree to it to get other shit done.
It’s only for nato countries. The United States has to authorize the attack but yes, the other country gets to drop the bomb. It’s all in the article.
And as I stated before, the nukes aren't deployed in those countries because the countries want them there, it's because the US want them there, and has the 'persuasiveness' to get them there.
