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.

Well, it's not news, Russia and many Russians like to act badass, while they are quite the opposite of being badass and brave.
What is the valiant thing to do in this instance?
Invade Brazil, install puppet regime, attend summit.
Who does he think he is? An American?
Owning your actions and taking the consequences with grace
When has a world leader ever done this?
That wasn't the question I was answering, but I'm sure very few if any
It might be worth asking why a national leader simply handing oneself over to a militant opposition isn't something that happens more frequently. Is there no such thing as a valiant national leader? Or would martyring yourself for the sake of a foreign coalition's legal code be kinda pointless and dumb?
Sure, but it's the valiant choice.
A truly valiant leader probably wouldn't find themselves in the situation where it was necessary to do that
it’s the valiant choice.
In the same way that shoving your dick into a wood chipper is, sure.
Was Alexi Navalny valiant? Was Prigovian? Was Milosivec? Was Saddam Hussein?
A truly valiant leader probably wouldn’t find themselves in the situation where it was necessary to do that
"No truly valiant person has ever had a warrant out for their arrest" is...
Come on dude.
In other words:
Upholding a rules based international order is actually beneficial, also to the West. By undermining the ICC to parade around the genocidal scumbag Netanyahu, countries like the US, Hungary and Germany are hurting themselves as it grants people like Putin more movement and recognition in the world.
Meanwhile "the global south" has a vested interest in strengthening the ICC and ICJ as these institutions can help bring some balance against the imperial actors who have been suppressing them far too long.
If someone brings up Mongolia because of Putin having visited there, Mongolia is a landlocked country with 3.5 million people, sandwiched between Russia and China. They have very little diplomatic maneuverability.
