World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

You were never allies, more like useful idiots that defended their masters every action until its finger started pointing towards you.
The US was also useful to other countries. An alliance isn't a friendship, it's an agreement between countries to work towards common interests.
There are still common interests between the US and many other countries in the world. Just the leadership is incompetent and doesn't know or care about US interests. And the American people were stupid enough to vote that guy in a second time so no one can trust Americans to not continue fucking up until there's a massive cultural change which will take generations.
Well you're not wrong there...
With the Iraq invasion, for example, decades ago, I remember all of Europe going behind the the US, even though everyone knew the weapons of mass destruction was a complete and utter lie.
The US, Russia, China, they're all the same and all only interested in regional or world domination. Fuck humanity, fuck humans, it's all about a few rich and powerful
Those rich and powerful have to go, they're a cancer on humanity and they WILL kill us all
Once that's gone, we need to put hard caps on personal wealth, world wide. No more millionaires, fuck that. Anything over a million can go straight to taxes. If we'd have that, and a government where nobody can have more than a few % of the power, we can finally have trustworthy governments (competence is a different thing, still) that will have so much income that we can do free healthcare, free education, universal basic income, you name it
Fuck the rich, fuck the powerful, I want a better world for EVERYBODY
You have a harsh view of the world. Maybe lighten up on yourself. It might help you to have more compassion.
He's not wrong.
Yeah, it's harsh, yeah it's sucks, it's also true, or have you forgotten operation Iraqi """"freedom"""""
I mean the Marshall plan more or less rebuilt the entirety of Europe...
