KHARKIV, Ukraine - In the past three days, Russian troops, backed by fighter jets, artillery and lethal drones, have poured across Ukraine’s northeastern border and seized at least nine villages and settlements, and more territory per day than at almost any other point in the war, save the very beginning.

      I’m pretty tired of the high proportion of politics in news too. And election years are worse.

      However, it’s also not very common that you have a candidate and ex-leader being in court.

      And, well, end of the day, what we see on here is what we submit. This is a link-aggregation service. If you don’t want political news, submit other stuff. If you really want, it’d be possible to create a community that does only non-political news, or other specific subsets. I remember that Reddit had some subreddit devoted to positive news, to address the disproportionate coverage of negative events.

      EDIT: This community is actually an example specifically of such a subset already, as it excludes US-only news: “Not United States Internal News”. I imagine that someone in Slovakia or wherever doesn’t want to be inundated in a deluge of stuff that only people in the US care about.

      They want you to think the Ukrainians are winning until they are defeated.
