World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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. 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 10/19
-
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 he know Trump is going to help Russia in every way possible, so he might as well let Ukraine get since more serious hits in now while they can
I think he's delivering on his promises to the MIC to maximize the money they invested in him before Trump enters office. If he gets us wrapped up in a conflict that requires deployment of US troops, so much the better for the stockholders depending on the Federal Government to get us as involved as possible.
Trump, while he did it for the wrong reasons, did pull the US military out of foreign wars during his first term. I imagine Raytheon and Boeing and Lockheed definitely do not want that.
Lol, my dude..... You do remember he also ended the nuclear agreement with Iran and then assassinated their most idolized military commander?
The pretext of Israel's ethnic cleansing is to rope America into a hot war with Iran. Trump is and has always been great for the mic.
Such a bad take.
I recall, yes.
It feels very odd to watch an American president do correct things for the wrong reasons. It's much more familiar to watch people like Bush, Obama, and Biden doing the wrong things for reasons that aren't provided to the public, because the narratives given around US wars are nearly always false.
Lol, war with Iran... A correct thing?
No, I'm referring to getting us out of Afghanistan and Syria specifically.
But you've noted, surely, that the US does largely support war with Iran by funneling WMD's to Israel, right? Unless you voted Green, you explicitly lent your support to it via your ballot.
Oh yeah, how are the people in those two countries doing now?
Yeah, it was pretty much guaranteed after the pull out from the nuclear deal....almost like elections have consequences.
Lol, it's a two party system. If you voted green you still lent your support to supporting a genocide, just in an incredibly stupid way.
We all pay taxes to a government supporting a genocide, some of us just don't want it to get even worse.
I could not care less. I'm more concerned with how people are doing here in the US.
I'm sure feeding WMD's to the Israelis for use against Iran won't be problematic for that.
False. The Greens are the only party expressly opposed to helping Israel murder people at will, but you can create whatever justification you like for the support you lend to it.
Lol, at least you admit it.
I'm pretty sure you don't care about that.
Again, I think you need to look up what a two party system is.
Thank you for the discussion.
It's fascinating to watch you and others engage with people who you know disagree with you in this way, especially after two weeks ago.
I wish I could say the feelings mutual.
It's fascinating to see how people like you seem to imagine everyone who disagrees with you as some sycophant obsessed with a political party. When in reality I'm not a fan of Democrats, and expected them to lose. I'm just kinda disgusted with the amount of people who don't understand the very basic concept of harm reduction.
I am the product of a bi-racial marriage, in a bi-racial racial marriage, living in one of the most conservative states in America. I'm worried for trans and queer friends, I'm worried for my openly bisexual wife, and I'm worried about some of my patients. Several of which are families that have been brave enough to seek gender affirming care for their kids in Oklahoma of all places.
The last time Trump was elected we had to do so much more work creating mutual aid and self defense networks. When that man is in power, people get more aggressively bigoted.
I get that symbolically voting green is great. In reality everyone knows that in modern times it's statistically impossible for 3rd parties to win any significant election. It's just sad to realize that so many people forget the very basics of mutual aid. And on a personal note, financially it's just not a great time for me to restart my defense and aid budget.
Just so I have this straight- you care deeply about Palestinians but don't give a shit about Syrians or Afghans? Why?
