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.
-
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.

You are right about the proof so it's all hypothetical.
Like with Cuba, the Democrats have maintained the pressure on Venezuela. Obama killed Gaddafi for his African currency. Democrats must have been involved in the recent changes in Peru, Bolivia and Equador. The USA seem to clean up South America before they have to take care of China.
Harris was willing to do the necessary to have forced firefighters. So if she would be president she would have continued this necessary project.
Nope, Biden cut sanctions on Venezuela and Cuba.
Gaddafi was killed by his own people for being a dictator.
Peru did have elections and some issues, but nothing which could be called a regime change. Similar story for Ecuador. Bolivia had a failed coup, but that is not a regime change.

Technically correct but there is the Hillary quote.
Democrats are no saints. I asked for a reason why Harris wouldn't order the attack. Evading that question like this suggests that she would have given the order.
Once again, you cannot prove a negative. No one is evading your question, your question is just irrelevant because of fucks that didn't vote for her because Gaza. We will never know what she would have done, and what she would have done does not matter now, because of protest voters and Trumpers (which are effectively the same thing in this case, and both are complicit in everything that has happened in the past year). If Kamala were elected, and she did this, I'd be just as fucking upset. But we will never know that she would order this kidnapping.
I'm not stupid, and I would argue that no one here is saying democrats are "saints". I'm not sure where you're getting that idea.
If we can't say what she would have done then the entire discussion doesn't matter.
You are wildly misrepresenting the firefighter situation. Bad faith bot.

What an incredibly loaded editorial with no actual references or citations. Did you write that shit? No, it's older than you probably are. Opposing early parole isn't keeping prisoners as slaves or whatever the fuck nonsense you said. Your shit is weak.
Where are your references and citations if you feel those are important? You've simply stated that he's wrong and attacked the source but can't seem to provide any evidence to the contrary other than your emotions.
Because the editorial was sensationalist garbage not worth a response. What the guy said is basically a lie. People vocally opposed an early parole system. Ruspublican agitprop screamed they were refusing to release prisoners for work programs. None of that was true. I'm not gonna debunk obvious bullshit that's already been addressed and debunked. Ain't my job to tell you the sky is blue and not red when any asshole can plainly see it's blue.
So you're saying you can't source any of this and we should just believe you because it's not worth your effort to respond to despite this being at least your third response on the topic and sources don't matter anymore when it's your turn to provide one because it's "common knowledge."
I've read through all the replies here and not a single one has been able to provide any information apart from "thats not true!!1!" which usually indicates a bunch of people making emotional arguments. You feel that every Democrat is good and above reproach and if anyone says otherwise that makes you feel bad therefore it must be a lie.
Prove it's true first. You can't because it isn't.
Please correct me.
