So basically, allow the invaders to invade your country without resistance?
World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 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.

And then wait for them to do it again in about 10 years to grab for even more. It's not a peace plan, it's surrender.
"Make Russian your official language!"
10 Years Later
"We must invade and claim territory, the majority of the population speaks Russian so obviously it's already Russia"
More: "Make this retroactively legal so we can avoid war crime trials and damages".
It is said to have been inspired by the Trump administration’s efforts to broker a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
That explains a lot. Basically "reward the aggressor" and "prevent any possibility for future armed resistance"
Also “create a news event that will make Trump look like he’s accomplished something,” non matter how meaningless it is on the ground.
I for one prefer full scale war than this.
SLAVA UKRAINI!
You know you can go enlist, right?
I think what you meant to say was,
I for one prefer Ukrainians continue throwing themselves in the grinder
Despite the fact that,
More than three years into the war, Ukrainians’ support for continuing to fight until victory has hit a new low. In Gallup’s most recent poll of Ukraine — conducted in early July — 69% say they favor a negotiated end to the war as soon as possible, compared with 24% who support continuing to fight until victory.
This marks a nearly complete reversal from public opinion in 2022, when 73% favored Ukraine fighting until victory and 22% preferred that Ukraine seek a negotiated end as soon as possible.

Edit: grammar
These polls are so bad. It's like asking "would you like peace?". Ukranians know perfectly well what would happen to them and their relatives if they lost the war. Fighting a war SUCKS but it was not their choice to go to war. It was not their choice to get terror-bombed every single night.
It's like asking "would you like peace?
It's actually not like that at all. It's actually pretty simple:
Which of the following statements about the war with Russia comes closest to your personal views?
Ukraine should continue fighting until it wins the war
Ukraine should seek to negotiate an ending to the war as soon as possible
Don't know/Refused

Oh look, another .ml bot, how unsurprising.
See my answer to your comrade. Bye.
What is it with yall refusing to believe any opposing viewpoints are organic?
Those 69% of Ukranians who want to end the war via negotiation - are they Russian bots as well?
The fact that they want the war to end doesn't mean they want to surrender.
Your cherry picked data means nothing, like your opinion.
I know... I know... It's hard to hear but try not to cry if you can...
Fundamentally unserious "just admit defeat" type of offering. The real signal is that the US is still a painfully unreliable ally.
The same type of plan the west and in fact China and Russia back up for palestinians. Both Ukraine and Palestine should not give up a single inch of land to the occupiers and desfinitely not surrended armed resistance
When will someone explain to Donald that Russia only respects power. Always has always will.
Slap them hard enough and often enough and THEN negotiate.
Maybe a tomahawk to one of Putins personal villas?
Trump admires this. He doesnt see Putin as an enemy, but an inspiration. Same reason MBS was welcomed the way he was at the White House, while people like Zelenskyy are mocked and scolded when they arrive.
Don't forget a big part of the deal: Putin won't show pictures of Trump sucking off Bubba.
