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.

Such a demonstratably false thing to take issue with too for the ambassador. The president has betrayed his america first promises, and been involved in wars or military action in venezuela, iran, yemen, lebanon, and syria, and nigeria. At a minimum. Then he's restarting war with Iran so Israel can have their forever war that lasts until netanyahu can get popular enough to win and be pardoned for his crimes without admitting he made a mistake so he can continue to blame others for his failures.
He's got the blackmail, and he's using it, the US and UK are his bitch and we all know it.
But the party was never down with America First, and now the president has lost his mind, in his dotage they've been leading him around by the hand working to restart the latin american interferences of the cold war that saw us overthrow and interfere in basically all of their governments at one point or others. Like virtually all, except maybe costa rica, belize to a small degree, and one of the -guay countries. The rest coups, death squads of paramilitaries paid with drug and weapon sales money courtesy of cia black ops, and right wing dictatorships, often putting military leaders in charge after sponsoring them to overthrow civilian leadership. Which is what just happened in Venezuela in fact, if not in law, the military is the ruler there now, a client of the US, the civilian leadership is not a figurehead.
But cuba, colombia, canada, denmark are all threatened. To argue this president should receive the nobel prize is just beyond the pale even for these guys. America First is dead, the party wants to use this military as much as they can, to benefit themselves, kicking back and enjoying the favors of the connected rich that make money from our military operations. US taxpayers just get the bill, no benefit from it.
Seriously, this ambassador should be expelled.
