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.

And the Untied States will invade Brazil to install him as president. I wish I was kidding and didn't see this as a real possibility
Brazil isn't Venezuela, much bigger, stronger institutions, stronger army etc. Never say never but you think Trump is eager on getting into another Iran war?
Do you think Trump has the prefrontal cortex mass remaining for that level of critical thinking?
No, but maybe there are still some left in the Pentagon who have not been purged yet and some influence left.
I wouldn't count on it. Kegsbreath will probably have his public execution if they resist.
i suspect RUBIO would have a hardon in invading South america.
He doesn't have the juice for that.
no, it was destroyed by cocaine and adderall.
We all agree it would be monumentally stupid, that's exactly why we're worried trump will try it anyway.
I hate that this question doesn't have a clear an immediate answer as "of course not!". Because... yes, I can see pedohitler considering this to hide the disaster of Iran.
Lol! In two more steps he will be trading nuclear hits with France and the UK to distract the population from his earlier mistakes...
I noticed that my phone no longer autocorrects wwiii to WWII, and has started correcting it to WWIII
by creating another IRAN, to distract from the iran war to distract from NETANAYAHUS problems.
Well…Iran is a vast country, with a deeply rooted regime, strong military, proxies all over the Middle East ánd the ability to chokehold global energy supplies…
…and yet Trump was stupid enough to wage war on Iran on a whim. Nuff said.
He's an idiot. Also a narcissist, so easy to manipulate. He always thinks he's right and he always thinks he knows better. He's unpredictable imo.
well more epstein stuff has come up so.
They also have 60 million people that voted for Facio.
I hope so, but history indicates otherwise.
Not a fucking chance. What we would do, is cut a deal with their military to seize control, which, is what we did in Venezuela in case no one told you that yet.
The mid-terms are a week away.
What's your A1C on that? I mean, I'd ask Gary Webb butt...
What's an "A1C"?
FWIW, I'd bet money that the House will flip, and I'm sure that the Senate will win ≥48, probably more. It'll slow, but not stop, Trump, who might be his own worse enemy. The next Democrat President will be a relative dark horse, as was Obama in 2006, Clinton in 1990, or Carter in 1974; and the next Republican President will be about as bad as Dubya Bush or Trump.

I hope 'Untied' States wasn't a typo, because that has the ring of truth.
It wasn't. I've been spelling it that way since Trump has been back in power
The Untied Snakes of Vespucciland
Puck's gonna be mad at one of us for outing him like that.
Don’t worry, if we were to elect a government in Australia that worked for the people they’d do the same here.
I tried to get hired on as a cement operator (oil and gas) in Australia for a bit. You all dodged a bullet on that one. I would have been there illegally for damn sure after that work posting ended.
Edit: drinking all your Goon.
its much harder to invade it, much like iran its similar, the terrain is very prohibitive of enemy movement, when you have things like massive rivers and amazon jungle in the way.
