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.

It's almost as if he works for Putin
Maybe he does.
Maybe Putin's colleagues found out something interesting about Trump back in the days, and made him an offer he could not refuse - "go and become King of America, we'll even help you a little, but you'll serve us".
Wild speculation, of course. But he definitely doesn't have national interest burdening his mind in any way or manner.
P.S. If I worked in the Secret Service, I would use my telescope to watch birds fly and tree leaves wobble. Even if there was a remote weapons station turning towards my client, or a wire guided object coming in - I would hardly notice until impact.
it's the pee tape
IT IS NOT.
NOBODY gives a fuck about a "pee tape".
What's the Pee Tape!? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steele_dossier#Kompromat_and_blackmail:_Trump
Agreed. Look, if someone released a tape of trump being peed on by a bunch of underage children, it would start a trend with trump supporters and everyone would be having pedo pee parties in support and solidarity. trump could literaly blow someones brains out in the oval office on live television and no one would fucking do anything. Putin is dangling a financial carrot over trump or one of trumps "investors" that has to do with money or power and that is the only reason. It's pure unadulterated corruption being broadcast live on a streaming service near you. Simple as that.
Advocating for murder is… questionable at best.
Yet nobody objects to fantasies about time traveling to kill hitler.
By the is logic you would condone fantasies about time traveling to kill any leader that has caused harm… that’s going to be a lot of killing.
I guess eradicating a current fuhrer is Too Soon for sympathizers. It they have something to gain from a shit stain being in control for a bit before it circles the bowl enough times to finally disappear.
Its almost as if he wants america out of a war as quickly as possible.
If America is at war via Ukraine then by the same logic it is committing genocide in Gaza.
SO YOU AGREE that Putin should leave the country they wrongfully invaded and pay for the rebuild to ensure peace.
That’s not how the world works. Might makes right.
SO YOU AGREE that Putin and Russia need their fucking asses kicked back to the stone age and Russia broken up again.
Actually I’d argue the US and the EU have had their fair share of invasions and aggressions.
Regardless, if you want Ukraine to win, other countries must joint the war, Ukraine can’t win by itself.
You are correct that Ukraine cant do it itself. It is sickening that Nato happily took the Nordic country in super quick like but wont take Ukraine in because of the conflict that they knew was coming for YEARS
Which war is America in, currently?
Class war is the only real one.
That would mean Traitorapist Trump has gone completely insane since we aren't in any war. And Trump's New World Disorder is going to send nuclear proliferation thru the roof. Every country in the world will rightly want its own nuclear weapons thanks to Trump.
Out of the goodness oft his heart?
Because appeasement worked so well in the past it's bound to work again.
