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.

Wait so the US is lying to you because they're financially supporting Ukraine & with weapons, while they're being fucking invaded, because Poland (an independent nation) decides to send ground troops into Russia (maybe to slow down the invasion of Ukraine???)
Seems to me like you're operating under the assumption that the United States of America runs the entire world. They don't.
It does play pretty well into the narrative that all countries weaker than Russia, China, and the US are puppets of one of those three. It really would make US-European relations so much easier if the US could just command them what to do. Could just command them to not build Nord Stream 1, could just command them to put their 2% into defense, could just command them to brush their fucking teeth (WTF England, it's disgusting, have some basic hygiene).
Outrage? At what, fighting back against the aggressor? This article is a joke. Neither Ukraine nor Poland would be doing anything at all if a scumbag tyrant didn't invade. Russia is committing every warcrime possible, like they're just checking them off a list, and this article takes issue with Ukraine fighting back.
The outrage! How dare they not get conquered!
Hoo boy, what a terrible and biased editorial, full of inaccuracies and incorrect implications! It's good of you to show it to us here as a reminder of the kind of dishonesty being spread around.
What the hell? Since when did newsweek get into the business of spewing misinformation?
A long time ago, I kinda sorta noticed during the toxic 2016 presidential election in the United States.
But when I (and a lot of other people) really noticed was right after russia invaded Ukraine, since then the barrage of non-stop, hollow, fact-less infotainment published multiple times a day, every single day, has been relentless.
They publish A LOT of unverified hearsay with wishful thinking - meaning "shit you want to hear". They've put putin on death's door, the imminent collapse of the russian economy and society, or an imminent kremlin coup, countless times in the past year and a half.
Yet another casualty in the clickbait enshittication of the internet.
