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.

I wonder if Americans understand that Trump is going to start getting them killed in their own country soon enough. Not just ICE terrorism but other bad actors. The US has benefitted for 80 years from Allies help. Without it, American citizens may end up experiencing what they have been inflicting on other countries for decades. Although I'm guessing that is Trump's/Putin's goal. Defeat the USA from the inside out.
He won't protect anyone regardless of loyalty.
did he just quiet piggy our allies? I mean they were are allies anyway before he started calling them piggy.
The increase in defence spending makes sense since the work is a less safe place since Diaper Donny entered politics. However nothing says you have to or should buy US weapons.
Nothing would sting US arms manufactures more than Trump's policies pushing all the customers away.
😂 on any other president I wouldn't have bothered clicking on this, because it would 100% be false.. but with Donald it is most likely true
he and his family won't have immunity when they're out of the epstein house and it becomes the White House again
uh huh, nato with the usa is becoming less useful by the day, America is already failing its security promises, no need to back them since they say they're all powerful or whatever, they've failed to subdue iran so far, they have limited its assistance in Ukraine, they've stopped police shipping, what's the point of following them if were collectively paying for our own armys now?
Chumpy McChumpface cannot be satisfied so trump him.
Allies have balked at the move, seeing it as an attempt to strong-arm them into ideological alignment
No shit.
I expect most of them have pushed back, and those that didn't have told the heavily armed bully whatever they want to hear.
Can you cut him in thirds first? I hear they make real good electric bonesaws.
Is there a source outside of rawstory? Because rawstory is clickbait trash.
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.
