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.
-
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.

Despite mysterious (USA help for EU energy destruction gains) Ukrainian successes on Russian energy infrastructure these past weeks, Russia has surpassed Germany and Japan to be the 4th largest economy during the war. Massive military production rates, full employment, national unity, and high wage growth due to soldier deployment bonuses competing with rest of economy.
Russia has gotten stronger during war of attrition, outproducing entire west. If you want to weaken Russia, accept its peace, and propagandize its difficulty in economic transition. Russia would agree to reduce military production rates. World has far more important concerns than repeating Napoleon/Hitler defeats. Peace terms have always been extremely reasonable, with 8 year patience by Russia. Ukraine has lost the right to control Crimea and Donbas, and it is absurd to support its desires for NATO membership and nazification protections. EU must remove their CIA puppet rulers/media, or at least cut ties with CIA/Atlanticist handlers.
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
You are seriously deluded. That's by the heavily manipulated official numbers, and only by PPP, in international value they are only 9 despite their manipulated numbers.
This is also based on the current value of the Ruble, which is highly inflated because Russia has limited all imports and basically everything that requires money go out of Russia.
The truth is the country is in heavy deficits and have a very hard time financing it, because trust in the Russian economy is near zero. Both the federal government and several states are near bankrupt.
That the Russian economy should be bigger than Japan, Germany, UK and France is ridiculous. Russia is at best 11 in the world even by PPP. Ukraine is 45 with an open way more realistic economy with $730,758 million (IMF 2026 est) Russia state $7,340,795 million. How would it be possible for Russia to lose if they have a 10 times bigger economy and 4 times the population? The truth is that they obviously do not have the economy they claim.
Russia is winning. More territory every week. The strategic patience, with EU and US occupying bases inside it, of Putin is a disappointment, as it is political capital related, but the political theater of this war, Putin accepts patiently, has predetermined plot ending of Russian demands. This was always a weapons grifting war, with, what should have been understood as, a laughable propaganda campaign against Europeans.
No they are not, last month they lost more territory than they won, and Ukraine has completely thwarted the Russian spring offensive.
Neither EU or USA have any bases in Ukraine. Actually EU now has military personnel in Ukraine to be educated by the Ukrainians in drone strategies. Even if we had bases in Ukraine it would not be an occupation.
Like winning in three weeks?
Very convincing mr mc clown face. 🤡 🤡 🤡
The rest doesn't make any sense, even with my abilities understanding 5 languages that enable me to understand most foreigners trying to speak English, IDK if you are Russian and very bad at English?
But very clearly you are seriously misinformed. And it's laughable how you just carry on with new false points after your previous points are shown to be false.
The US occupying bases in Europe.
How is that in any way relevant, since those bases aren't used against Russia?
And no USA is not occupying bases in Europe, they have bases in Europe because Europe allows it.
Russian cocksucker, go fuck yourself.
I do not say that lightly.
Russian peace? After invading the sovereign country of Ukraine that it agreed not to invade? Targeting civilians and murdering them in cold blood? Peace terms reasonable?^[Tip: Russia needs to get the FUCK out of Ukraine. Period. Full stop.]
The only absurd thing is listening to your fascist pro-terrorism bullshit.
And the rest of your pro-Russia cocksucking is technically partly true, but you really have to fucking cherrypick those statements and word them EXTREMELY carefully. For one example: 4th largest GDP if you consider internal buying power, not if you consider international buying power where they remain out of the top ten.
Russia are fucking losers and terrorists.
