World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

here is what he will do:
He is already lifting the restrictions on US contractors being there.
He's just the guy who tells you it's not in stock
The next guy is gonna be all like "here's a RTX 4050. It's the greatest graphics card ever! You'll be able to play at 4k with raytracing at amazing fps. You'll be able to create AI models like a pro, faster than anyone else. Don't worry about the price, we'll put it on credit (for $50,000 over the next 20 years-) it'll be cheap and amazing! Trust me, only I can save your build."
But he won't...
honestly what he just did is yet another action during his difficult situation tenure which is likely the best thing possible to do before trump comes into office.
Biden could resign right now so that Kamala Harris became the first female president of the States.
For 6 weeks? It wouldn't be worth the time needed to be spent on transferring power.
Counterpoint: it would be pretty funny
Yeah, just to troll Trump and Musk.
Fuck strike permissions. If Biden had any guts, the USAF would be running sorties on Russian positions in Ukraine before the end of the month.
It's Biden we're taking about.
Yeah, I'm not holding my breath.
I mean, f22s surely get lost some times, even my iPhone sometimes loses GPS.
Training mission in Poland, suddenly a dozen mig29ks, tu22m3s and su34s fall out of the sky, maybe they had GPS problems too, no way to tell really.
Actually, it was probably the single ukrainian f16 in the area, great way to earn a double ace quickly, we all saw him shoot those amraam-ds.
Just imagine being president for more than 4 years. Then imagine being dictator for 20+ years. Cray cray.
Shit, send them some blueprints for neutron bombs and an ass load of tomahawks.
Lend lease an aircraft carrier group
This is the way.
He can deliver some tomahawks and other deep deep strike capabilities. And then the Ukrainians sit on them until Trump takes over. Then they have a bargaining chip.. turn open the tap or we will fucking drag you into our conflict kicking and screaming.
I’d be fine if we get embroiled in a war with Russia, martial law gets declared and, oops, guess we can’t transfer power.
