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.

No, they are now on OUR side. MAGA hasn't figured out that whenever they fire a knowledgeable experienced operative, and replace them with a loyalist podcaster, they strengthen our side, and cripple theirs.
Do you honestly think that all those high ranking officers, who spent years navigating the landmines of military promotions until they got to very top, are going to allow these frat-boy putzes to just unceremoniously and humiliatingly kick them out, and they'll just fade into the sunset?
A few, maybe, but most are cut from that cloth. We haven't heard much from ex-presidents, ex-military officers, ex-intelligence officers, etc. I think its highly unlikely that they are all just sitting at home, screaming at the TV like the rest of us. We also aren't hearing much from foreign leaders, who clearly hate what is happening.
It is likely that at least some of them are in touch with each other, and with foreign leaders, and are forming a strategy to oppose MAGA if they are stupid enough to try to end elections and steal the government. They will have Red Lines that will trigger a response.
Find it hard to believe that any current or former officer in the military is collaborating with another country. Even if it’s an “ally”.
Some general is not going to ask France or UK or Germany to “step in” if MAGA tries to steal elections and none of those countries want to.
There’s not going to be some secret sect of the military that’s going to save us when things keep getting worse. As far as we know the military had near 100% compliance committing war crimes by bombing those civilians in the Caribbean and kidnapping a foreign head of state.
I’ll be surprised if we’re not at war with NATO by end of this year over Greenland. It gives Trump every cover to do whatever the hell he wants.
He NEEDS Greenland, in order to snuff Canada's EU-lifeline, when he enforces his annexation of Canada.
Greenland's a means, not the true goal: continental-kingdom is his goal.
& how's he going to justify the draft ( as a means of eradicating the "woke" ) if he hasn't got a war to fight?
Nobody understands, or accepts..
Trump's going to obliterate civilrights shortly, & his dictatorship will be warring on 3 fronts:
& there's no longer anything that will prevent or stop this: sitting-on-hands-until-too-late is all that's being done.
So, Trump will do to Canada what Putin's been doing to Ukraina.
Then, of course, EU's isolated, & Putin, backed by China or BRICS, will "take care of them".
It's all dominoes, now.
1 month more, or something?
