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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 think we know, don't we? War with Venezuela.
What happened to Panama? Wait, what happened to Greenland? I thought we were invading Canada?
We’ve always been at war with Eastasia
Haven't we always been at war with Eurasia?
Looks like mostly trees. Why are we angry at trees?
They make oxygen. He hates them.
The ministry of truth told us to… (These are all 1984 references just to make sure we are all on the same page)
Gotta sharpen their sticks on someone after all.
Hoping it works as well as Galtieri’s invasion of the Falklands worked out for him (barring it not happening at all, which is definitely preferable)
could easily see it being a bay if pigs fiasco, nobody sane wants to die for trump or the alcoholic he put in charge of the DoW.
get some orders to invade em? send those that do in a poorly supported ad-hoc invasion to cull em, have the media spin all that shit, the dead, the embarrassing US military competency myth, onto trump and co.
Who aré we expecting to counterattack the US? Because the Falklands blew up in the face of Argentina because the UK took them back
I just meant a strategic failure resulting in a dictator getting kicked to the curb. Definitely not expecting Venezuela to invade the US
Due to the war, we can't release the files.
... and a lot of redactions
What happens next?
Nothing. Nothing happens next. If we had a functioning DOJ, maybe something. But we don't have that, so absolutely nothing will happen.
Don’t be such a fucking defeatist. Yeah, it’s most likely not going to result in Trump et al getting what they deserve, at least immediately, but don’t just assume that it won’t matter at all. That attitude is exactly what those bastards want us to feel. Don’t fucking give it to them!
Look, anyone can print out 50 pages of solid black ink. Are we actually going to release them?
Narrator: they would never release the philes’ files.
I expect it to be full of only Democrat names and lots of places where Trump's name was hastily redacted, as well as other powerful right wing figures.
I dunno... he's such a narcissist I'm not sure he can bear to scrub out his name for any reason.
Possibilities? ... in the US?
The only possibility I ever see in the US is in knowing that they are going to make everything so much worse for everyone else .
The markets will go up and the rapists will be SLAMMED by the media.
That's all that will happen.
Trump goons had unrestricted access to the files for way too long. Nothings going to happen.
For those that think the files will be heavily redacted, I have a question. Ready?
We just got 20,000 docs that were not redacted in any way. How do you think the full release will be edited?
They won't release anything of consequence. They will throw a few people under the bus as a sacrifice, but rest assured that any page implicating Trump has been vetted and removed in the interest of "national security".
I demand to know what the plan is for holding Trump accountable for his crimes
Here is the itemized plan in order:
Um...Put Edward Rooney in detention!!?? ;-)
