Considering Trump cut USAID and the EU is following in his footsteps when it pertains to aid now, this should be interesting to see and by interesting I mean tragic.

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.

MODERATORS
My hot take is that they don’t want them to rebuild. They want these countries to be in dire need for a country to swoop in and buy them. That is some high value locations there.
... Is it?
Ten years ago, definitely. Now? We can already see the impact of climate change and it is only getting worse. This is why American and Russian oligarchs want Canada.
It's more likely the world already got what it wanted out of the Caribbean and just doesn't care about the inhabitants.
Remember a lot of them don’t believe in climate change
No, they very much fucking do. They'll be the first to talk about how the weather is getting wild and it is so great they live in florida where every day is beautiful except during hurricane season where they refuse to move.
They believe in the existence of climate change. They just refuse to do anything that will ever inconvenience themselves even the slightest iota. And they'll bend over backwards to insist "it is just sun cycles" to absolve themselves of any responsibility.
Agreed, I’m just stating their claim.
Then don't fucking parrot their nonsense.
"jokes" are fun until it is indistinguishable from the same bullshit the people raping humanity are saying. At every step of the way, call them out on their shit.
I need to get my eyes checked: "humanitarian Melissa leaves hurricane"
