Russia said the West was playing with fire by considering allowing Ukraine to strike deep into Russia with Western missiles and cautioned the United States on Tuesday that World War Three would not be confined to Europe.

WW3 will come regardless of the outcome of the next US election and the signs are very visible.

Civil-War mongering will be at an all time high by the end of the year. Political turmoil screwed Russia and other big empires in the past, it’s only logical that that is the way to beat the US and dissolve NATO an EU.

Billionaires instruct corporations to price gouge, rack up money, then convert as much as they can into tangible assets, be it land, food or resources.

The jocks may have made their revenge, but being a scientist or an engineer will soon be mandatory because they’ll be the new brick-layers and they will be treated as such. Mentats, they’ll be jokingly called. This makes jocks usefulness limited, likely as cannon fodder - serving as entertainment might be an option for them, but a privilege to watch. But Valhalla will be earned nobly, on the battlefield, priests will say.

Your only hope is to stop having children, and let the rich enslave their own kin, and let them spin a new dark cycle of misguided and bloody revolutions, paved with good intentions.

Oh man, my new fan-fiction novel is coming along nicely! Like and subscribe!

make my day

You look forward to a global conflict?

ed. not really understanding how this comment has been wildly misinterpreted?

  • if ukraine has the weapons, the reach, the men; go for it. Invade russia. They (russia) asked for war, and it should be levelled against them.

But I wouldn’t say that would “make my day”. It would be, absolute worst case, a long drawn out war involving even more countries.

Fully in support of Ukraine in every regard. Even if that means bombing and invading russia. But I dont think that would “make my day”.

You just want to say: "You’re getting your ass spanked by your version of Canada, trying to add more countries to the opposing side doesn’t sound like a cunning plan, unless you’re Baldrick.

This would be a hilarious and excellent unified response, especially if it were done as a joint tongue-in-cheek statement by the US Secretary of State and Canadian Foreign Minister

As someone who is very concerned about the escalation of this war into a possible global conflict, I can only say it seems like it would be a very wise and prudent move for Russia to withdraw all troops from Ukraine (including Crimea) immediately, in the name of peace.

why should we make them do that? Everyone knows that when we appeased the nazis and facists in the late 30s they became content peace loving people.

I agree, the only way we could deal with the nazis was to wipe them all out, hence Germany suddenly stops invading people all the time.

Time to start again.

Create post

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.
  • 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.

  • 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.
