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.

Could the Media start doing its job and write how insane this behavior by the US actually is?
This is not normal and the Media is complicit by just treating this as another random news story. It is not. It is utter insanity, total destruction of the western security apparatus and the foundation of geopolitical stability.
Some European sources are stating the obvious and using honest language. For many Western nations they still seem to be playing with words 'cause they're scared of the repercussions.
Well. Massive radioactivity, blindness, and a forever dusty sky will make people very sick. This means American health execs can make a lot of money if America launches a surprise invasion of NATO.
If they were serious at all about the threat, they would expel all the US forces currently in Greenland.
Those idiots haven't been able to survive in all year summer mountains (Afganistan Vietnam ) So they will obviously succeed in all year winter mountains ( Greenland ). The question should be how long until US Army fails to winter and run away.
I'm sorry you believe that.
Maybe I’m continuing to be naively optimistic, but it’s hard to see military brass agreeing to attack nato troops
Personally, I think this is more about pushing Europe to de-fund social services and have that money go to the military
They also hope this will cause a right wing resurgence as people get angry over funding problems
With Ursula Von Der Leyen at the helm? fuck all, Europe first needs a leader that has Europe's best interests in mind, Ursula is only interested in profit and misery.
Further than they'll go to protect Ukraine from Russia.
The world is run by and for idiots.
Not far enough I fear
I would say this is not strictly news. It reads more like opinion, and is part of this new "This is Europe" newsletter. I don't know why the Guardian put this article in their news section.
I think it's more like news analysis than straight news or opinion. The line for me is that it's bringing together recent reporting to get a sense of what Europe will or could do rather than making an argument for what Europe should do.
We will see.
