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.

Right now North Korea looks like more respected and competent country than USA. I'd even say any country
Apparently it’s illegal for US ships to escort foreign vessels. Seems hard to believe but if it is the case then Trump is really begging.
Apparently it’s illegal for US ships to escort foreign vessels.
Would be par for the course for Americans if it was illegal for their ships to help foreigners
I mean, the US escorted ships there during the Iran/Iraq war in the 1980s...
Is that more illegal than bombing fishing boats? At any rate, just make the totally certain to be successful escort mission use US oil tankers and ships, because the US has so many ships to spare, and the mission is being done because they've totally won the war and no one can touch greatest military ever.
He's spent the last year alienating all of the United States' allies and in some cases, directly threatening their sovereignty. So of course nobody wants to get involved in his mess.
When will they ever learn that the only winners from war are the ones who make peace.
Starting a war is easy. Ending a war is difficult. Winning a war is impossible.
I thought he had already won the war? Why does he need help again? We wouldn't be any help any way. We wouldn't be anywhere near the front lines according to him.
Trump’s attitude towards the entire world has been nothing but arrogant disrespect. He deserves the same in return.
yeah no fucking shit lol. why would anyone comply? it's only a matter of time before some iranians 9/11 us and our allies are not itching to prevent something we 100% started at their expense.
if there is a 9/11 style attack, I would bet good money that it would be a false flag from the US. they have many many many instances of false flag attacks in the past.
it wouldn’t surprise me at all.
UK, Japan, China and South Korea
Hum... A month ago UK was preparing for a war against the US with the rest of NATO.
And China?! Really?!
Japan barely has a navy, I'm not sure South Korea even has ships on theirs.
Japan barely has a navy
??? In case you weren't aware, we're an island nation. How do you think we protect our shores?
