- 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.
-
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.

I don't know how there is even a discussion. It's a war, two sides shoot each other.
If you start a war, expect to be attacked. If you help one side in a war by providing weapons, expect them to be used.
There has been an attempt at a balancing act by USA and Europe, and while Europe has abandoned the idea, USA is keeping it.
The idea is that if Russia lose to much to quickly, it may destabilize Russia, and that could create a dangerous situation with the Russian nukes.
So USA was sort of in a Limbo, that Russia could not be allowed to win, but they couldn't be allowed to lose and be destabilized either.
This idea however is becoming less and less popular in USA, and there is speculation that USA will soon lift these restrictions.
Solution: Here Ukraine, here's some nukes. Finlsnd, you get some nukes too, hey all the baltic states besides Belarus gets nukes!
I mean, just look at what happens to states without nukes. Gaddafi himself agreed to give up his nukes and how did that turn out for Libya?
No no. I'm not saying those states give up their nukes. As far as I know Ukraine doesn't have any.
I'm saying the USA supply those places nukes to get Putin to calm down.
He's agreeing with you
Sorry, seems to be a misunderstanding, I'm supporting that idea using Libya as a negative example of what bad things can happen when you don't have them. They went from an African Economic powerhouse to an open air slave state all under the orders of a President that won a nobel peace prize.
Ukraine has had nukes before. Maybe this time if the codes aren’t kept in Moscow the attitude will change
Taiwan next!
