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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

You really are a special kind of dense, look how it immediately drops again so it now is at the exact same level it was 4 years ago.
Why are you spreading false info?
Wait a second, are you seriously this ignorant about stocks?
The US stopped sending military aid, so the price went down. When the US was sending aid, the price went up.
This is one of those instances where the internet crowd is wrong, again.
I'm literally looking at the link you provided. Went from 330, then Russia fully invaded Ukraine in Feb of 2022, and stock price shot up, though now it's back to a meager 450.
No matter how you look at it, even 20% in 4-5 years is very far from through the roof, especially considering the USD also lost 10-15% value in that time.
Rheinmetall was about €80 5 years ago and is now €1500 that's an increase of 1775%, Now THAT'S THROUGH THE ROOF.
And that is in a currency that has kept it's value.
So you original statement remains decidedly false.
Yeah, that's a fair argument. The "through the roof" was more of a rhetorical(theres probably a better word I can use to describe it). Either way, my whole point was that the main, if not only, reason for the Ukraine/Russia conflict was to raise the stock price of our MIC, like the original Desert Storm was, which was what the "brave Ukrainian fighters" was in reference to.
Oh wow, here I thought it was hopeless, and then we end up mostly agreeing anyway.
But I don't think USA was the cause for Russia invading Ukraine. That I think is 100% on Putin and his idea of recreating the Empire of the former Soviet Union.
But I do agree that Biden kind of prevented Ukraine from winning as much as he prevented Ukraine from losing.
And Trump has definitely not done much to help Ukraine win either, both prolonging a war that could have been finished much quicker if we had helped Ukraine more.
And of course prolonging the war earns money for the MIC.
Don't count your chickens yet. The fault only goes to Putin if you start history in 2022, not the Orange Revolution, either of the Maidan coup, the 14k Russian speaking civilians killed in Ukraine before '22, or the constant hit pieces on the Azov battalion in American media before' 22, and the constant puff pieces of the Azov battalion in American media after '22.
No Putin invaded Ukraine way before that, I think it was 2008 in Donbas, and of course Crimea in 2014.
And CIA's Orange Revolution started in 2004 if I'm not mistaken. As the famous saying goes "As somebody who has helped plan coups d’etat — not here, but, you know, other places — it takes a lot of work".
