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.

But you do since you just guess. I quote known sources, and you pull shit out your ass.
Please explain why Putin would endorse the person who says that Ukraine should win the war over the person who won't say that.
I don't need to explain anything. Again, I'm just citing facts, and you're guessing. But honestly, how much do you think your armchair analytics are really worth? Or anyone's for that matter?
I just cited facts too.
Harris wants Russia out of Ukraine.
Trump refuses to say what he wants Russia to do.
Why would Putin sincerely endorse Harris? I think you know the answer is that he wouldn't.
Because you, quote 'don't live under a rock', was that the citation you consider a fact?
Again:
Harris says Ukraine should win.
Trump will not say who should win.
This happened last night. I heard it with my own ears.
So, again, why would Putin support the person who wants him to lose the war? Because, again, I think you know the answer.
They could actually just be dumb and ignorant, but I think we both know they have their motives.
But holy mother of god!; what's your source I mean?
My source of what? Those two claims? Again, the debate last night. Putin's obviously bullshit endorsement of Harris? I can give you a source, but I'm not sure what your whole point here is if you didn't know about that.
Yes, of course, your source of why Putin made the endorsement, the source I asked for about 5 comments ago....
And, as I have explained to you multiple times, I do not need a source when I can make a basic inference from the facts at hand.
If you can come up for another explanation for why Putin would endorse the person who wants him to lose the war, let's hear it.
Otherwise, you're just harassing me because I said something mean about Putin.
Does it ever occur to you to just concede for once and save so nich time and effort: 'No, sorry, I don't have a source for my claim, I simply made a conjecture that I believe to be correct'.
I bet it never even crossed your mind because you're so goddamned sure of yourself since apparently 'you don't live under a rock'.
And now you are violating our civility rules. If you continue to harass me or are uncivil to anyone else, you will be taking a break.
I would appreciate it if you would give me an alternate reason for Putin supporting Harris please.
Sure, go ahead by all means, or you could take this as an opportunity to learn and grow as a person.
I am connected to the Russian hivemind, can confirm that we prefer Harris to Trump, he's just too unpredictable.
Don't be coy; you simply cannot.
You exist in bad faith, this goes so far beyond debate at this point lmao
I just cited a quote. What do you want from me exactly(?) holy fuck...
There's a big difference between citing facts and citing a statement. You likely have no evidence that the statement is a fact, besides taking the ex-kgb leader of an adversarial nations word at face value, which...does sound a little silly when you say it out loud like that, doesn't it? Keep in mind this nation has definitely messed with our elections in the past too lol.
The statement is the fact, and I put no more value to it than that. Make of that what you will, I really don't care
You are citing a statement, and it is a fact that the statement was said, but the content of that statement is not a fact because there's very little evidence to support it being a fact. Lies exist, especially from the election meddling, ex KGB foreign adversary national leader types.
You didn't quote anything
