A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

They should assume they already lost US protection. What's happening in the Strait of Hormuz shows how much it actually is worth. This is a geopolitical tactic as old as time, they don't have the capacity and are losing ground so they have to see who grovels so they can find their next mark, but NATO is already losing US protection given how much they've signaled it - although it's not like right now it's anything but symbolic.
Starting to doubt if America can even defend itself after depleting misses against Iraq and attacking fishermen in the gulf. Someone just go for it already! Trump will have to live with the shame of being one of the few presidents that had a foreign power attack the US.
Is there a source outside of rawstory? Because rawstory is clickbait trash.
Everyone can see what works best for healthcare, work/life balance and quality of life. It's not what russia, argentina and maga is doing. More restrictions and harshness is the opposite of what successful countries do and it's obvious in data, but all these people keep going for the right wing propaganda and ignore the data on how to make a healthy civilization. More of the controlling, just obey us, keep people in scarcity and stress so they don't realize how much the system screws them over and reject it for what's healthier for humanity,
braise him. to an internal temperature of at least 165°f to ensure no bacteria survives
theres no meat on him. Its all fat and shit.
Fun fact: you need specially designed cremation ovens for, uh, 'plus sized' folks. Fat burns pretty hot, so using a regular sized oven is a great way to catch the funeral home on fire.
For safe consumption, Nazis should be cooked to an internal temperature of 1488°F. It's what they would've wanted
He'll even bring his own mega Dutch oven to do it in. The white house
Oh shit, wrong kind of Dutch oven
so he's just openly running a racketeering ring now and nato has its thumbs up its butt?
did he just quiet piggy our allies? I mean they were are allies anyway before he started calling them piggy.
Hey so, I serve in a NATO military. Here is my statement:
Fuck Trump, fuck anyone that supports him and fuck those that allowed the USA to get this shite. Any American that opposes him, I will buy you a drink.
Huzzah!! 🍻
Not even a big drinker, but if we could, it would mean our borders weren't so terrifying, and maybe we were a free people.
Here's to the dream, brother.
And thank you for your service...in opposition to petty, worthless mobster tyrants like ours.
My lord Trump, you wear the biggest of diapers and your shits are the smelliest in the whole entire world!
This is a perfect example of conservative MAGA values. They want a heirarchy system where the chosen people at the top are given special privileges and are effectively above the law. This is what .makes MAGA so foreign and hard to understand for so many people.
Know your enemy.
Chumpy McChumpface cannot be satisfied so trump him.
NATO is weaker with America in it. It is best if they kick out America and continue on, sooner than later. America is just gonna backstab NATO before Trump's term runs dry, assuming he doesn't kick off an 2nd American War.
In the case of a civil war, NATO would probably support the ReUnion against the Neo Confederates. Because, bluntly, an Dogey America is simply evil and cannot be ever be a good partner for any decent nation. Putting down a rabid dog would be prudent, rather than letting it wander free to bite nations at random.
Once the US loses access to NATO bases and ports of call, their ability to project military power will be VASTLY reduced. Just losing Turkey, the UK and Germany will be catastrophic. America will pivot to African enclaves and barely survive there. The future of American military might includes a whole lot of malaria. Putin will be thrilled.
You mean the country that has pissed away all of its weaponry and is currently losing a war of choice against an enemy that is, generously speaking, a 10th of its strength?
Yeah, NATO's gonna be sad to lose it.
Ah yes, the hallmark of sophisticated management: everyone has to express an appropriate level of support for all decisions, especially bad ones.
Fuck off and die you fat megalomniac pedophile rapist cunt. The united snakes can suck cock in Hell.
This reads like poetry The kind of visceral anger that I wish the American people would unify and express against their own leadership
Their press meetings should be so constantly full of this kinda speech they can't even manage to get through a simple briefing.
"Okay, Q&A..."
"Thank you. Mr. President are you even sorry for all the innocent people you've personally or impersonally murdered?"
"ARREST THEM. NEXT? YOU IN THE BACK!"
"Yes, thank you. Associated Press. Anyway, you gonna kill yourself in a bunker anytime soon you rapist piece of shit?"
"GUARDS! we have time for ONE MORE...about the excellent new ballroom or something..."
"Hello, yes... where'd your mother go wrong and would you consider yourself your joke of a family's biglyest mistake?"
The rest of NATO really needs to form an inner circle that excludes America. We're a massive liability to the organization.
They could call the select group "NATO Gold". Being excluded from a select organization that has the word 'gold' in its name would really piss Trump off.
I don't think they see much strategic purpose in pissing Trump off :p
You think they don't already?
The difference is that it doesn't have a big flashy public name. It will be an informal network of diplomats and knowledgeable command staff.
Trump loves to bully America's allies.
I am glad that I cannot imagine the depths of insecurity that plague our esteemed president.
Makes me wonder what his mom and dad did to him as a kid that fucked him up. People who were abused reclaim their power by becoming abusers themselves and perpetuating the pattern.
That or maybe his wang is just abominably small and he can't see it over his enormous belly.
Oh, i am sure his parents have done a number on him, but there are a lot of people out there who had an awful childhood and behave normally. Trump has an untreated combned personality disorder with schizotypal, narcissist and antisocial traits - someone with that type of behavior with less influence would have been institutionalized long ago after his rapist tendencies showed up.
