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.

Asking rhetorically, because he doesn't care but, does he not know what the repercussions of his actions will entail? He's already attacked another country, unprovoked and he's setting himself up to attack yet another, unprovoked. He's deliberately causing war and daring other countries to do something about it. None of the reasons for why what he's done to Venezulea add up and none of the reasons he wants Greenland of all places, add up.
This is a multi-time failed businessman, whose only tactic is to strong-arm people when he doesn't know how to negotiate or know how to get what he wants in other ways. Nobody should fear Trump because his way of negotiating and making business is nothing short of a laughingstock. There is some cause for concern that this guy is a psycho with climbing dementia, who will tire the country he loosely governs out and try to take everyone with him should he, but will inevitably, fail. Because that's all he's great at, is failing and will go full-blown psychopathic because he knows he's lost.
He's no different than Putin who is leaning on the idea of using nuclear warfare should he lose his edge on Ukraine.
This is just my theory, but I think he was ordered to invade Venezuela on Christmas, but refused to do so. So Bibi had to fly over, showed him some pictures from the Epstein Files Donald is in, and shortly after, he invaded Venezuela to not have those pictures released. Venezuela is sitting on the largest oil reserve in the world, and it was a way to cut off the leverage Iran had with its oil supply. As far as Greenland, Peter Thiel always wanted that place, there is a lot of mineral wealth beneath it, as soon as the ice is gone. It's why his pick, JD Vence, is VP.
But but but he now has the peace prize, so its not wars or attacks, just friendly banter really /s
Yup, we're in the most peaceful time ever.
Just don't look at what's happening in Gaza, Ukraine, Venezuela, soon Greenland and soon Taiwan. Everything is great. /s
