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.

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
