Global News
What is global news?
Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

No, Russia cannot stop the war at any time.
See professor Jeffrey Sachs. The US did a color revolution in Ukraine and installed a puppet regime who integrated nazi battalions into the Ukrainian army and enacted official holidays to honor Nazism. The Ukrainian people elected Zelensky on a platform of peace, but Zelensky obeyed his US masters. Kiev genocided Russian-speaking people on its own territory and threatened to become part of NATO, which would mean NATO troops, military bases and nuclear weapons on a huge and strategic border with Russia. The US had promised Gorbachev that NATO would not move an inch eastward.
The US did worse for far less when the USSR put nuclear missiles in Cuba -- which by the way was a reciprocal act for the US putting nuclear missiles in Turkey. In fact, the US recently threatened to invade Panama just because it had commercial relationships to China. Now it threatens the same for Cuba.
US and Europe framing Russia as a threat is an affront to human decency.
It is so irrational that Europe:
Besides, Russia has an enormous territory with an extremely small demographic density, low fertility, and an ageing population. The war to annex the separatist republics in Eastern Ukraine has a huge cost, and is only (barely) justified for the reasons above. It is flat-Earthism to think that Russia would embark on an adventure to take over much of Europe. Such an adventure would be sure defeat, and even an (impossible) "victory" would mean gaining more territory, which Russia has in abundance, while losing the precious little young population it still has. That Europeans believe this lunacy is evidence of late-stage capitalism induced irrationality.
