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.

"This decision also sends a clear message to the international community: states cannot violate international law with impunity."
And how have they been punished, exactly?
"We call upon Russia to finally face up to its responsibility for this horrific act of violence and make reparations for its egregious conduct, as required under international law,"
You call upon them? So they haven't been punished and won't be, got it.
"Yeah, that'll be a No from me, dawg." -Putin
The Netherlands and Australia want the ICAO Council to order Russia to enter into talks on possible reparations
"enter into talks on possible reparations". Absolutely brutal, I wouldn't want to be Russia right now...
The Entmoot has decided to discuss opening talks to determine if discussions are necessary before taking action to begin negotiations.
The Netherlands also shipped a large amount of anti-tank, air defence missiles as well as a hundred sniper rifles and 30.000 rounds of ammo to Ukraine. And that was just the start.
You need to walk a fine line in international politics as a country.
But here, just you and me talking: as a Dutchman I remember those victims. And I hope every single one of those 30.000 rounds finds a loving home in the brain of a Russian. Fuck the lot of ‘em. You invade a country, you deserve to get a Dutch-sponsored surprise lead injection.
I was not blaming your country at all, you're more than doing your part. It's just frustrating.
Thinking of the families of the victims, I hope that knowing they are not forgotten and people are trying to uncover the truth about what happened will at least provide some closure.
How can you order them to enter talks? They can just say no, what are you going to do, arrest the country? Why aren’t they already sanctioned to hell and back? Russia understands no one can make them do anything and they’re right. If there’s no forceful enforcement of rules those rules don’t matter
lemmy.ml in shambles
They will not believe the report. False flag. Etc.
Thats brave of you to assume they can think independently to claim its a false flag, gotta wait for their latest VK Russian Trustworthy News.
Always
It only took them eleven years to decide this?
Yep. The good news is it'll only take them 50 years to punish Putin for it.
I bet he's shitting his pants harder than an american 'president' about the future punishment as well!!
He wont ever be held responsible.
Yeah, no shit.
That we didn't sanction Russia on the spot is mind-boggling.
And as a consequence of these findings, Russia has learned their lesson, we assume. Case closed, good job to us.
Really? What if the states are united tho?
How can someone write that non ironically
lol how does it even do that? Someone will write you a mean letter you can just throw in the trash… if anything stuff like this proves the literal opposite. Do whatever you want, you’ll never face any consequences beyond a mean letter you throw in the trash
It took them over a decade to realize this?
Can you imagine it! It was the Russian government all along! Who could have known? A strongly worded letter is warranted! And maybe even a relocation of the 2028 regional meeting in st petersburg.... WHAT now! Russia is under sanctions? Why? By whom?
The UN: at the forefront of diplomacy.
I still do not understand the prime motive for this to happen the flight posed zero threat to Russia.
It was only just a month into the first post-Euromaidan elected government of Ukraine and Russian media tried to pin the shootdown on Ukraine. Petro Poroshenko, the then-new president, was also talking a lot about forcefully ending the conflict in Donbas and Luhansk. To be clear this is 100% me guessing at things, but I could imagine it being an attempt to discredit Poroshenko's government
Also to send the message they can do whatever they want to you including kill your civilians and they will never face repercussions for it. If the only “punishment” is a mean letter ten years after the fact what’s actually stopping them from doing it again, when ever they want, wherever they want? Literally nothing. It’s a threat
What happens when you give advanced weapons to people with no qualifications and tell them to shoot when they see a blip on the screen?
The lesson is to be more responsible with dangerous equipment. Russians don't care. Can always just blame someone else when things go wrong.
