The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)

Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.
Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.
If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

USA: sends $170,000,000,000+ in aid...
The Rest of the World: "The USA isn't doing enough!"
Where do you think Ukraine is getting it's intelligence from?
I think you overestimate that number, but that's not the thing, the thing is slow walking aid just dragged everything out.
Some saybit was Donald's gift to putin, so putin could "finish" quickly, but Biden dlow walked things too, like forbidding the use of american weapons on russians depending were they were.
A quick piwerful response was what we all wanted but didn't get so here we are.
The deliberately slow is for upholding a testing ground for USA/Russia/China military industry developing their drone & AI warfare. Maybe the powers that be will use that to eliminate us rest when we're not useful enough anymore. Skynet by fascists
They're benefiting from it but I'd treat it as a conspiracy if someone said it was orchestred in some way.
Sorry, I guess we are being cheap, only contributing almost as much as everyone else combined.
It's always "the USA is bad" until someone needs something, and suddenly doing as much as everyone else combined isn't enough.
Did you just conveniently forgot humanitarian aid?
And the whole call USA in need, from a NATO standpoint, it has only been the other way around, and we were there for them. We (Europe) also let the hard power plus soft power to the USA after WW2. They have benefited enormously from that internationally, economically... We also have been buying USA weapon systems for enormous quantities.
The deal? If we need you, USA, you'll help us against Russia (I don't think there is another threat model).
First try: slow walking and half siding with Russia...
Well it seems like the party is over and good old europe is coming back.
Interesting times.
I'm not trying to be rude, but I'm guessing English is a second language for you.
So if I'm reading this right, in your opinion, war torn Europe was generous in "letting" the USA supply aid after WW2?
And yeah, that's kind of the point, do you think any country in the world sends the GDP of a small country to another nation, purely out of the goodness of their heart?
I sure hope you aren't talking about me...
At least my reading skills are up to scratch...
In a time when a person working full-time can't even afford groceries, we should be involved in exactly zero wars abroad.
I hate this country.
Lol wut. US "intelligence" is responsible for misleading people into war how many times?
And how many people died because of it? Hundreds of thousanda of lives or millions?
