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.
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.

The biggest fish in that pond is still the US. Hence why China keeps trying to claim it instead of actually taking the space.
I guess it's good that the US exists.
It’d be better with neither the US or China.
Then Russia becomes the global dominant power....
Haha good joke.
It is now, it wouldn't have been prior to Feb of 2022. Even now, you completely remove the US and China from global events freeing up those massively rich resource stockpiles, combined with Russia's current wartime production, and it's a war of attrition for everyone else, while Russia quietly annexes former Chinese territory that is rich in coal and oil in the northeast of China. India will probably claim the northwest since that also has some massive oil fields. The only countries that could have opposed Russia on the ocean just disappeared, so they now have the largest Navy by a lot.
The French could oppose them in one theater since they now have the only nuclear powered aircraft carrier in the world, since the other 11 nuclear carriers disappeared with the US, and they also have 3 diesel carriers, out of the total of 34, 9 of which disappeared with the US, and another 3 disappeared with China, so they have a total of 4 of the 23 carriers that now exist in the world. Japan owns 4, England owns 2, Italy owns 2, Australia owns 2, Egypt owns 2, South Korea owns 2, India owns 1, Russia owns 1, Spain owns 1, Brazil owns 1, Thailand owns 1.
The thing is that without China and The US to mitigate the Russian war machine, they're gonna make significant gains so that they can reclaim dominance, until a new superpower emerges in North America.
Maybe the French, Indians, Australia, and Britain working together could hold them off from retaking a lot of eastern Europe, but... I kinda doubt it.
Maybe.
