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 wish we didn’t need to do this but honestly this is some of the best spent military funds I’ve ever seen in my life. It’s all hardware, manufactured by the US. So that’s jobs. None of it is death payouts to American families like we had to do in Desert Storm. Russia richly deserves the fight. We’re getting a lot of help from other countries.
I wish we didn’t need to do this but since we do, fine.
Funny how you don't "need" to do it when it's non white countries being invaded
Very fair point.
The west came together to liberate Kuwait from Iraq's invasion. The day-one air war was one of the best choreographed strikes in history.
The idea the US only liberates countries when they are white directly contradicts history.
Oh you’re right, also when there is oil involved. I mean really, did you consider Kuwait a humanitarian crusade? Kuwait only exists to landlock Iraq in the first place. The entire country is a concept from white people to keep brown people weak. Exactly like Iraq, which was deliberately made up of 3 groups that hate each other. We’re into British sins now but you get the point.
Yep. Realpolitic is the driving force in international politics. Not some racism BS.
Whoops, got a double post in there.
I recall the west coming together to liberate Kuwait from Iraq's invasion. In fact, the day-one air war was one of the best choreographed strikes in history.
And of course you've conveniently forgotten the million Iraqis you starved to death, and then the hundred thousand more you genocided.
You said the US only liberates people if they are white, are you now recanting that statement given the liberation of Kuwait?
Yeah? You're just making shit up whole cloth now?
Also "Remember that time we lied to the UN to commit genocide against Iraq!" Is not the convincing point you seem to think it is.
undefined> It’s all hardware, manufactured by the US. So that’s jobs.
Jesus Christ. Half a million dead for your stinking jobs. Shame on you.
The loss of Russian life in this shit show is a tragedy but their blood is on Putin’s hands, not the West’s.
? Half a million dead in Russia’s war of conquest is….the US’ fault?
What would Russia need to do in their war of conquest for the deaths to be on them, the invader actively pulling the trigger and killing people?
Of course it's the US's fault! WTF?
Nothing, this war is 100% America's war.
glad to see this site isn't entirely filled with braindead morons.
Wow you really are an elitist asshole
Is Russia not a sovereign country, do they not have the ability to make their own decisions? Or is Russia so weak they simply follow Uncle Sam wishes?
Same question for all of America's wars and invasions.
This is their proxy war. Russia was being threatened with nukes on its doorstep.
