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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 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.

So he truely believes he runs the whole world..... If anyone is about to start ww3 anytime soon ..... it's him.
Don't be ridiculous. FIFA doesn't just hand out their prestigious, respected peace prize to anyone.
Ok this cracked me up 😂
I would argue we’re already in WW3 it’s just not a full on “hot” world war quiet yet, this might do it though
It won't. Venezuela isn't a member of BRICS or anything. They're a member of OPEC, but that's an economic cartel, not a military alliance. They don't have the necessary allies to come to their aid to turn it into a world war.
OPEC managed to fuck United States up pretty bad back in the 70s.
We're in the Anschluss and Munich Agreement stages of WW3.
Literally, this has been standard US imperialism for the better part of a century.
The US inherited it from the British, there were people already living here. They have been invading sovereign nations in the name of the US since independence.
When exactly do you think the US colonial rebellion happened?
The 1700s. Whereas the last skirmishes of the Indian Wars ended after WWI. Europeans invaded the sovereign nations that were already here and then the US, after independence, continued to expand westward into places where people already lived.
It ended in 1783, howbout you go reread my comment and do some math.
Howbout you go reread their comment and do some math.
The Wounded Knee Massacre which ended tribal resistance and completed the conquest of their land happened in 1890, and then the "Renegade period" went on until 1924.
Holy fucking shit too many of you talk about shit you do not understand. The US is still occupying those lands and intends to eradicate Native American nations. If you also actually read my comment, you'd see that the person above was trying to explain something (inadequately) that was outside the scope of what I was addressing.
Fucking some of you have to develop humility jfc.
No shit. That's what they said, and you started arguing with unclear language. What were you addressing exactly?
Learn to communicate your points, your audience isn't dumb, your language is.
Jesus Christ, you're not the first person to call this an "audience." Reminds me of men who call their internet confrontations, "debates."
The commenter who I made fun of here brought up -- and incorrectly ignored the specificities of US imperialism -- a topic that was not relevant to my comment on US imperialism in the past century when they wanted to talk about US imperialism "inherited" from the British Empire over two centuries ago; apparently without even knowing when the Rebellion was.
My snide comments came with the assumption that my "audience" could think for themselves and figure out why someone would respond that way to what they said. Of course, I do not write effectively for an "audience" who does not.
I won't read your response, I write these when I'm bored or waiting in line.
It is relevant, they were agreeing with your sentiment and extending the timeline by correctly asserting that it goes further back than a century.
How is that apparent? And what point do you think you're making exactly? Do you think because they rebelled and started their own empire that somehow negates that they inherited it from the empire they expanded from?
My bad, I assumed you're having a conversation in good faith.
Same, and I'm bored of your childish, quick to anger, holier than thou attitude. Develop some humility.
