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.

Look y'all. North Korea and Russian recently signed a mutual defense pact. There's a clear reason why NK troops are only being deployed in Kursk, which is so it looks legitimate. NK is protecting Russia's borders.
All any country has to do is sign a mutual defense pact with Ukraine and pile on. That's all he's saying. I mean, I'm shocked Poland hasn't already signed on.. they're spoiling for a fight.
Poland is all in for the defense
of Poland
They've sent a lot of weapons compared to their GDP. Probably only behind the US on that ratio.
Here's actual statistics: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1303450/bilateral-aid-to-ukraine-in-a-percent-of-donor-gdp/
Apparently Denmark is leading the pack with 1.83%, closely followed by the 3 Baltic countries. Poland is 7th with 0.68%. The usa is "only" at 0.35%, which is still by far the most of any of the non european nations that have send help, and also significantly more than a bunch of eu nations.
This is all aid, so weapons, humanitarian and financial. With the different kinds split out: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1303432/total-bilateral-aid-to-ukraine/
Thank you for the real stats and correction.
As long as they understand that defending Ukraine equals defending Poland, they will continue sending help... but they let mobs blocking the entrance of humanitarian help "Israel style" for months last year and the issue with the repair of leopards was scandalous
I really hope the silence from allies is because we are waiting for the American election to be over.
All limitations on Ukraine need to be lifted, and USA has only supplied 10% of what they promised.
Ukraine has fought admirably, it's time we help them to end this. Not just enable them to draw it out indefinitely.
Doesn't North Koreans fighting in Ukraine mean that North Korea now is at war with Ukraine? Wouldn't that legitimize a Ukrainian invasion of North Korea? Could we ship some Ukrainians to North Korea and have them do a lot of damage there; including offer asylums to anyone who wants to get out?
Can they do anything against North Koreans inside of Russia?
If so does the same apply to American troops in Israel?
What does that mean? "take action"... "tackle the presence"
Does he mean NATO boots on the ground?
You could read the article. But who am I kidding, I don't often read the article either.
Zelenskiy said Ukraine had pinpointed every location where North Korean soldiers were posted in Russia. But Kyiv's Western allies, he said, had not supplied the long-range weapons needed to strike them
Doesn't have to be NATO, it could be bilateral agreements, like Russia did with North Korea.
They have already started an illegal war against Ukraine. And they should already be sanctioned to maximum. What kind of difference it makes if they fight with an ally or not?
