A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Trump will ‘negotiate peace’ by standing with Putin and insisting Ukraine forgo a sizable portion of territory to end the war.
Zelenskyy will rightfully refuse, then Trump will point his finger at Zelenskyy for failing to come to the table while simultaneously propping up his own ‘great’ efforts to bring peace to Eastern Europe.
I’d add: he’ll probably threaten to pull out of NATO if the rest of the countries continue arming/aiding Ukraine.
I would assume Trump is intent on destroying NATO in any case.
Oh yeah it won’t happen all at once though. He’s going to test it bit by bit to make everyone else flinch. Then probably try to install a series of rules that effectively neuter it.
It’s the way Russia does it - the institution still “stands” but is beaten into ineffectual submission by a series of a thousand cuts. He’s got Turkey, Hungary and possibly Romania and Italy to back him up in this regard.
Lol, sure. We're about 13 years from when he promised to provide details on his "amazing" healthcare plan to replace the Affordable Care Act and over a decade since he promised to release his tax returns... I'm starting to think this guy's just not trustworthy!
Trump has concepts of a plan to end to the war in 24 hours.
Look - he still has that wall to build so some things will need to be delayed.
Trump got Biden & Kamala to help build it for him.
"Nobody knew [war] could be so complicated"
Right. Putin won't want to look like he does what Donnie tells him to. He'd only agree to ceasefire for some sizeable win. Then the Ukranians might have a problem with that. Trump can't command them to stop fighting. He can cut off weapons, but unless someone hurts the Ukranians so badly that they surrender, they are gonna keep fighting with whatever they have. They might not stop quickly and in fact things could drag on for a long time and get real ugly.
