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.

Thats your MO. Come in, shit all over everything, ruin people's lives, and leave. Please leave this plane of existence immediately.
If only the other nations would hold us responsible. They should be placing sanctions on is like those that were on Russia. Then it would actually make some Republicans non maga, start to move away from maga
I hate to say I agree with you. The only way to teach this generation in power is spanking. They only understand pain then fear it
The only way to teach any generation in power is spanking; the only difference between this generation and previous ones is that previous ones still remembered the last round of spanking.
Dad here, this is the dumbest shit I've ever heard in my life. If I ever need to physically abuse a 6 year old to get my point across I'll just kill myself.
Who said anything about 6 years olds? We're talking about physically abusing 60-year old warmongering gerontocrats.
The person who suggested the reason for all the world's ills was not enough corporal punishment for children
Uh that's clearly a metaphor, the intended meaning being that the current generation of global elites has no reason to fear the masses because the masses haven't done enough to make fearing them necessary. "All the world's ills stem from lack of corporal punishment" is outrageous enough that you should consider the possibility that you misunderstood.
The comment you’re replying to is clearly sarcasm, and this is a weird take…like, even Trump waited til the kids were 12.
America has never been spanked.
Your right pearl harbor and 911 were just time outs lol
9/11 was a bloody nose that hurt the US’s pride more than anything else. Any actual damage came from America trying to stop the bleeding by spending two decades stabbing itself in the heart.
What an "I love being an awful piece of shit" thing to say.
Pearl harbour resulted in Hiroshima Nagasaki, which obliterated Japan as a political opponent. The US has no reason to look back at that and fear, because they won.
9/11 was an inside job.
We hold you responsible, but not the leaders—they’re too cowardly…
In fact, we’re held hostage by all those thugs in the government
Trump is unhinged enough to drop nukes on a country before the end of his term, not to mention all the lickspittles he has around Europe (Salvini, Meloni, Orban, Farage) ready to drum up support for US decisions.
Israel is the one likely to use nukes, they want to, and a third of the president's base, his primary base, the evangelicals, would support doing so. European allies won't support it, because fallout if for no other reason.
I don't think Israel will get support to use them, but if anyone is using them, it's at their orders.
Sanctions have never worked that way. They often end up doing the opposite and bolstering nationalism.
Like hell it would. It would just make them double down and become even more nationalistic.
Forcing the country to subsidize local jobs? That wouldn't hurt right now
What the fuck do you mean sanction the USA? Do you realize how badly that would fuck over any middle power? Even if the USA didn't retaliate at all, even the act of sanctioning the USA would be a death sentence to the economies of most western allies
Besides the bribed politicians, every leader and country who has tried to escape American control has been "dealt with". The local rapist is buff and heavily armed.

Sanctions would work as well on the US as they work on Iran.
Maybe but that would do little to actually prevent the US from doing evil shit, because US imperialism is bipartisan.
Oh boy here comes the everyone in the U.S. is bad opinion that we will see for the next 8 months. Sorry, but anyone who has any resentment for MAGA either votes for Democrats or chooses MAGA to thrive further more.
You said zero about who needs to be voted out, you gave no examples of specific bad actors like Brandon Sherman who is most likely to have intentionally given false information to the Democrats in an effort to subvert combatting the attacks against Iran sooner if at all. (71 year old Jewish man who took $777,000 from AIPAC to acquire his position) And secured a $21 million dollar deal for a U.S. Israel co-op directly after.
I've never been a registered Democrat, but it is highly evident that people who hate on Democrats in general with no facts, no evidence, all want what is happening now. They don't want people to show up at the polls and vote for anyone other than what is in now. So since 2022, all "generalized" hate against the only opposition party that can be different instead of pointed acts of reform of the party, has been a direct act of support for MAGA.
Sir this is a Wendy's. Even if everything you said was true (it's not), it has literally nothing to do with what I said. The vast majority of the DNC supports imperialism whether you like it or not.
You are a MAFA supporter, thanks for identifying yourself for the rest of time
What's MAFA? Biden was close to Israel, Obama had record drone kills, and ofc Bush has the blood of countless innocents on his hands. Get it together and grow up: America has been a global villain since WW2 (it was a regional one before), it goes beyond party lines, the empire will do what it wants and each both sides of the political spectrum just serve aesthetic and therapeutic purposes for the two American pluralities... but, ofc, democracy is just a pressure valve and narrative creation device, the American empire has been co-opted by the MIC for a long time and now by anational technological corporations, fund management firms and foreign interests, and whether war starts and continues or not has everything to do with their infighting (not ideological, but profit based) and nothing to do with the will of the American people (and a good chunk are bloodthirsty and militaristic enough they're ready for war regardless).
Nothing in what you said negates the fact that American can be better or it can be worse.
There is always a choice.
But it does explain why it won’t be better.
America is no better than Russia on the world stage.
Your first sentence is that of absolute stupidity, your second I agree with fully
Oh goodie a braindead take who once again stands to protect the pedophiles. Obama inherited wars and withdrew 70% of the troops from the middle East trying to clean up a Republican mess and depression. No one said anything about him being good but you went out of your way to hate on him because at heart you are a MAGA bootlicker. "Biden was close to Israel" isn't even a fucking action. He was a fucking dumbass, but you are standing here defending war mongerers. Biden finished what Obama did and finally got our troops out of Afghanistan instead of continuing a giant mess of slaughter and money waste where we should have never been. No one is saying he was great, once again let me restate it. Either you are a pro NAZI pro war pro killing brown people for fun, or you find a way to focus on getting rid of bad Democrats to reform the party because everyone in the U.S. and abroad is either pro Democrats, or pro MAGA.
It's MAGA or opposition, and the ONLY opposition is the democratic party. So you are a Democrat, or you are MAGA. Guess what, I won't be registering as a democrat, but you can't even register to become MAGA, because they are just a terrorist organization.
One with strong support from you so far
Pigeon management: Fly in, shit on everything, strut around like you’re the best and then fly away without a care.
Seagull management is the name
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seagull_management
The one you're referring to is playing chess with a pigeon.
https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/11427530-arguing-with-idiots-is-like-playing-chess-with-a-pigeon
But both are applicable
Don't insult pigeons like that.
Yeah but they are actually super fascinating. I read a book about them and couldnt stop reading. So much cool stuff about pigeons.
MO implies there was planning this far ahead.
There was, but its 'more money me' and that plan is working wonders. Look at his family's networth now.
