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.

President Donald Trump’s administration told allies it couldn’t sign the statement denouncing the attack as it is “working to preserve the space to negotiate peace,” according to people familiar with diplomatic correspondence, as meetings continue between the White House and the Kremlin.
Better not upset Putin 😂😂
Imagine we were dealing with another 9/11 attack and he said some shit like that
Ukraine experiences that every week, maybe every day.
US is world's pain in the ass. There must be a way to isolate those gun loving lunatics.
i think China is doing a good job. god, i never thought i'd say that, but here we are. they've stopped accepting orders from Boeing, and they said they're not willing to negotiate until the US admin is willing to treat them with respect. L M F A O
I wish China would just allow Taiwan and Hong Kong to have their independence , free the ughuirs and then just focus on being an economic powerhouse and they could be a very solid world power to replace the void the US is leaving behind.
Generally China is not expansionist and imperialist, except for these scenarios so they would be a good friend. I'm not totally opposed to their government style as long as it's executed fairly, but needs to be a bit more civilian empowerment.
Given where China was and where they are now, they are doing fantastic and better than they could have ever imagined.
5000 years. that was the argument that got to me. they've been around for five thousand years. i don't think they're facing any existential crises over the big baby in the doll house.
That's not really true, though. That region has undergone numerous cycles of fragmentation and reunification over that period of time, with different cultures and different dynasties taking over from each other.
i'm not backtracking, i promise
but when you're dealing with cunts like trump, do facts really matter more than big numbers?
Isnt it great you can just can repeat whatever wumao lies you want and then just point to trump when called on it? Good stuff.
i don't know what you're talking about. is there any doubt that china's been around for thousands of years? is there any doubt that china's a lot more well-prepared to weather what wharton's dumbest fucking student can't figure out?
e.g., the 5000 years claim is puffery, not supported by evidence. Not hard to learn the truth with 30 seconds of searching.

wow, thank you for teaching me something new today. now you've got me thinking why i made that assumption with so much confidence. the first think i think of is the terracotta army - they're about 2200 years old. i hear the "5000 years old" number thrown around a lot when talking about the great pyramid. i've seen some stuff that i thought was really cool about possible ancient pyramids in china. but i also wonder how much propaganda snuck in there along the way, too.
my last sentence still stands, though :P
You're parroting CCP lies.
how so?
Turnip too busy negotiating with terrorists to worry about human rights
Seriously though, kick us out, make it the G6 if you need to.
Fuck that.
