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.

It's an axis of fascism. You can tell because of all the fascism.
Moscow's puppet president is starting to feel the noose tighten. When his term ends, so does his legal immunity and likely his freedom.
term ends
hahah yeah about that, so there was that one time he amended the Fucking Constitution to remove presidency term limits so uh
I think they are referring to DJ.
That makes a lot more sense.
He'll be doing the same
Changing USA's constitution requires a 2/3's vote in both House of Representatives and Senate, plus ratification by 3/4's of the States (i.e. 38 States).
Right now, neither side has the numbers to pass a constitutional amendment.
Republicans control 28 states, Democrats have 18, and 4 are split.
At the Federal level, the House and Senate are both close to an even 50/50 split.
The Constitution has as much power as the paper it’s written on if the judicial branch won’t use it as a guideline, the executive branch does whatever they please, and the legislative branch codifies the new behavior after the act, which is then allowed to stand because the judicial branch doesn’t care if it’s unconstitutional.
Nonw of that matters when he's god king emperor
Didn't happen last time, short of a leftist coup in the dem party, why would we expect them to do anything this time?
I know they say the evil ones never die, but I just don’t see the guy lasting many more years. If the water gets too warm, he’ll flee the country.
Once he loses power, he'll be pretty lucky if he only loses his freedom. He's kept a lot of oligarchs under his thumb for a long time...
Maybe the "Epstine didn't kill himself" people will have something to say about that.
Uh... Why do you think terms matter for Putin? Though either way he's popular enough to win a somewhat fair election.
pretty sure they are talking about DJ
Oceania, Eurasia, Eastasia.
You'd think he's already at that point, if he's anywhere near as intelligent as he claims.
the Chinese president made the comments during wide-ranging talks that touched on Ukraine and included Trump suggesting that the three leaders should co-operate against the International Criminal Court.
Wait... What? Who cares about gossip about Putin when this is sitting right there?
Trump just says dumb shit. Xi has no reason to fear the ICC, and America passed The Hague Invasion Act, which requires America to invade if an American serviceman is ever detained by them so Trump has nothing to fear outside America.
It's more that "the law and order president" wants to conspire with autocrats Putin and Xi against the rule of international law. That's your headline, not scuttlebut about whether Putin will regret a war he started.
Only because Trump is so ignorant as to not understand the ICC is largely a tool of the US; we aren't bound by it, but we can use it to bind others or just generally justify further hostile actions.
Same with him talking about disbanding NATO. That one, I'm certain he knows how much cutting his fellow billionaires off from Raytheon's biggest market would hurt them, and is only saying dumb shit to get Europeans to buy more US weapons.
yeah. Lucifer! me and my countrymates need to take back this trumpin country.
Russia needs China more than the latter need Russia. This is not a formal alliance, just an amicable partnership. I doubt Putin regrets it on a personal level. The man doesn't give a fuck about those that have suffered, but at an operational level it has massively weekend Russia and China are making Putin still appear strong whilst making Trump look just 'meh'.
Trump is confusing "international criminal court" and "international court of criminals"
And after May regret, there will be an even worse June regret.
Hopefully Xi takes notes of his own observations so he can remember them later.
