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.

During his hearing Monday, Black said he was invited to Russia by Aleksandra Vaschuk, and he went here to be with her, according to local Russian media.
...
Dudes not getting bailed out by the military either, because he didn't disclose the trip when taking leave.
Even when he gets out of Russia, he's gonna face UCMJ charges. He'll likely get the boot without benefits, but might even end up having to do some time if they want to make an example
Never listen to the little brain in yo pants, brah.
Especially if it's a Russian.
It's crazy because it's nothing new.
Like, one of the first things they told us at my training command was random women from another country hitting us up on Facebook is because they either want to steal our money or get info, and the person on the other end is almost certainly not the one in the pictures.
It's literally one of the first things they told us out of boot camp, but we all had clearances too and they took security ridiculously seriously there.
But its a big way foreign countries figure out troop movements. Even a "I won't be able to chat till August 1st" can be valuable Intel. And lots of people will give up waaaaay more info without even thinking.
Even on the off chance she was legit, he's a complete fucking idiot for going to Russia. I'm guessing this is a case where he knew he shouldn't, so he didn't say anything to anyone else.
Because anyone in the military that heard his plans would have told him he was making a huge mistake.
My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We're bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We're coming in from the north, below their radar.
When will you be back?
I can't tell you that. It's classified.
It's amazing how a slight tingle in the penis can so quickly absorb and overtake the brain.
What are you wearing, by the way?
You almost got me!
If the little brain in mah pants turns out to be a Russian I've got other things to worry about.
"our" pants, comrade.
PSA: taking secret trips to Russia may negatively impact your security clearance
Yeah. But he can just tell his CO it was for love and I'm sure they'll be cool
Seriously, even the marines know not to eat the “Agent Orange” crayons, even though they sound like they could be enticingly tropical-fresh. This fuckin’ guy is on the level of Gomer Pyle.
