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.
-
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.
-
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.

Why would any other country put its citizens in harms way when americans are not willing to save their own country?
This is the same logic that has allowed every major problem in history happen.
Fun fact, we all fucking share this planet and invisible bullshit nonsense lines on a map means nothing when a crazy man with a military starts storming across them.
If you arnt willing to stand up with your fellow man over fucking nationalism then when the asshole who's found a way to surpress those under him comes swinging you get to eat shit with the rest of us.
It's hardest to stand up from within if no one's willing to stand with you from without.
A problem in the US Is a problem for everyone, just as a problem in Russia is a problem for everyone. We stand up to bullies collectively or we all eat shit together.
Many of this administration’s actions affect people beyond the US.
I'm saying if the Untied States invades Greenland. Then Trump will be causing problems outside of the Untied States
This is a good time to point out that magafascism has already killed a million and more, through health policy and aid withdrawal… and how do we body-count the global promotion of fascism?
He's not suggesting other countries save our own country, he's suggesting they stand up for themselves and impose consequences on the regime in a way we haven't been willing to. And it wouldn't really take fighting. Dumping treasury bonds and ending use of the dollar in trade and as a reserve currency would be devastating. The US is 40 trillion in debt with a huge trade deficit. We're deeply vulnerable.
I've read that the S.O.P. in such situations is for the country in question to simply default on all debt, then there is an accounting-adjustment, then the establishment moves-on, with some restructuring of who owns what, but it doesn't break countries to just decide they're not paying debts.
Especially when those countries are more central.
Sure, it might bankrupt many, but .. who cares? Money doesn't.

Why aren't other countries putting economic sanctions on America? Why aren't other countries boycotting the upcoming World Cup or Olympics?
We're expected to voluntarily destroy our nation for their entertainment, but they won't even give up a soccer tournament.
