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.

~~America~~ DONALD and BIBI have lost THEIR war with Iran.
America did not vote for this, did not want it, and did not support it. In fact, America purposely voted against forever wars in 2024.
— George W. Bush
When you vote for somebody who lied to you their first term, you're voting for whatever they want their second term.
Why would you believe voting for Trump was voting against wars? It makes no sense
Your opinion is incorrect. There were two good reasons to believe this:
Record corresponding to rhetoric is a very good reason to believe someone will adhere to what they say.
And you believed him? You believed Trump's word? LOL
Don't reply if you're not willing to actually read a person's response. It just makes you look silly.
I did read your response. And if the rest of Americans think like you the situation is more dire than I thought.
Believing the word of a clearly demented fascist that will be in charge of the world's biggest military, the joke writes itself. And that's after you already had 4 years of trump.
Every single vote is a way to legitimize the American government and system, the American government was founded on the idea of invading other people. If Americans want to vote against wars maybe they should actually organize and go shoot their politicians instead of voting for the parties that have been nothing but warmongers and coup doers in the past century.
Whatever you like it or not the president of the usa represent the state. The usa and israel lost the war
Be that as it may, he's acting in direct contradiction to the objective wishes of the state and the electorate, so pretending this is something the American people support is stupid.
Nobody claimed this war had popular support. The legal framework of international relations consider the actions of the Head of State as the actions of the country itself.
