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.

Canada would know that if the US attacks Mexico then it would be next, that would be the only time to fight.
There isn’t a choice, this means Europe joins.
Europe joining means China will join so that it can replace the US in Europe.
Mexico at war is going to bring many countries below it in because they don’t want to be the next smaller country on the US doorstep.
Canada isn't a smuggle route worth billions.
The only reason they could even potentially go into Mexico is due to the Cartels and their billion dollar drug trade. (I don't have facts saying it's a billion dollar drug trade. But I'm making an educated guess that's it's worth a shit ton of money)
There is just no way in hell Canada would ever strike first on the US and be the aggressor. Even if Canada would strike at the US, why the hell would Europe side with Canada? They are now the aggressor. Attacking a fellow NATO member no less.
The realism of my previous statement, no one would view it as a strike first, it’s retaliation for attacking Mexico.
The alternative is to just get picked off one by one.
After Canada comes Denmark so be realistic about it.
Ehm.... I disagree. Everyone would see it as a first strike. Because that's what it is.
Canada has no military alliance with Mexico as far as I know.
I honestly can't believe you put the words "be realistic about it" in the context of Canada striking the US.
If Europe didn't do more than sending weapons to Ukraine. Why would they do anything more to Canada? Which, would be logistically, an almost impossible task.
Giving Russia control of the North Atlantic is a much bigger threat to Europe than giving them access to the Black Sea.
What are you even talking about? Russia already have access to the Black Sea. And have had since the birth of their country.
And what do you even mean "give them control" of the North Atlantic? When was the last time you looked at a map of the globe?
The note on the black sea was about Crimea
Yes. Thank you. So please explain how the US would have anything to do, with granting them access via that route. If anything. It looks like it's up to Finland, Norway, Iceland and Denmark to exert control over what is right next to their maritime border.
They don't need Crimea to have access to the black sea. They already had access to it.
Why do you think the US wants Canada and Denmark? It’s to help Russian conquest of Europe.
So you see why it would matter less to Europe?
the US doesn't want Canada and Denmark.
Trump speaking nonsense just to get attention for the sake of getting attention is a different matter than what the US actually want.
Not to mention that it's never been about wanting Denmark. It's about putting Military bases on Greenland. Which they already have under a current agreement. And the US isn't even reaching the quota of the current agreement.
It doesn't matter what Trump says. The US is not going to just casually invade a fellow NATO member. And Canada isn't going to either. Especially not over Mexico.
Why what would matter less to Europe? Are you trying to say that just because Russia already had access to the Black Sea, that it somehow wouldn't matter to Europe that they invaded Ukraine and violated their sovereignty?
Either you're on something you shouldn't be. Or you're off something you shouldn't be. Whatever it is. Good luck.
