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.

Only country in EU with spine and sovereignty
Guess now we know which government in Europe doesn't have politicians who are being blackmailed by Israel and/or the US with proof of some crime or other (including pedophilia, which judging by who supported Epstein is a specialty of both the MOSSAD and the CIA)
Just wait until PP or vox gains power. Which will probably happen since now the cia+mossad will work together to get them into power.
I think American support for the Far-Right all over Europe has been ongoing and pretty openly so for a while now: some years ago Steve Bannon even came to Europe with money to - as he himself said - grow the Far-Right in Europe.
Israel being an ethno-Fascist country are also very interested in the growth of the Far-Right in Europe as plenty of warm welcome of European Fascists in Israel attest to, including some who have often openly made anti-semitic statements.
I suspect the horse of CIA + MOSSAD support for Far-Right parties in Spain (and the rest of Europe) has long bolted from the stable, in which case it won't be any worse if leftwing and even centrist European leaders cut off support for those nations, maybe even the opposite since those nations are already actively supporting their political adversaries.
PS: Whilst I'm not in Spain, I am in next door Portugal, and you can be pretty damn sure that America as a nation are total buddy-buddies specifically with the mainstream Portuguese supposedly center-right party (only not really center anything, plus they have been drifitting even further rightwards in the last decade or two) which is the equivalent of the PP and is currently in government in Portugal (which is why Portugal has been supporting both the US and Israel, including in the slanted coverage - very much using the same tricks as the BBC and NYT - of the Genocide and the this war in the local Media aligned with that side of politics).
