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.

It's like saying Hitler attacked Poland and organised holocaust just to distract the German public... No, at some point you guys need to admit it, the guy is a power hungry lunatic.
Not the guy but vast majority of americans are lunatics
... who just happens to associate with the known pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Doesn't matter if it's power over girls or countries.... power hungry is power hungry.
Los dos, my people.
Weeeeeelll, the Nazis had illegally taken out a bunch of loans and hidden that fact with financial trickery. That's how they managed to pay for rearmament. All those loans were coming due, the Nazis couldn't pay and didn't want to admit what they'd done so yeah, they invaded Poland. I mean, it wasn't purely distraction, they also hoped to seize gold and foreign currency in Polish possession but distraction was a huge part of it.
Back when debt was something to reckon with instead of just being a an infinite money exploit for trillionaire speedruns.
some of us have been shouting this at the top of our lungs for years
He is, but the Epstein files is the one thing his base has actually reacted to with possibly disgust. They are fine with literally everything else he does.
So this is a case of him being a power hungry fuck that also works well to distract from the one thing that might cause consequences. It can be two things.
If there's one thing his base are good at it is ignoring the truth. I seriously doubt they would believe the content of the Epstein files to be true, eve if Donald Trump directly said they were.
Hitler was actually clear from the start about making Germany great again and immigrants, foreigners and jews being 'undesirable'. Oh wait.
And Hitler was perfectly fine with just deporting Jews, to Madagascar I believe was his idea until it turned out to be a stupid and impractical idea. So I guess Trump is just at the pre-mass murder stage right now.
It wasn't just the jews.. The Nuremberg laws also included "Gypsies, Negroes, and their bastards".
Eventually we'll find out both Hitler and Churchill are in the Epstein files.
Between the Haavara Agreement and all that crap with Prince Andrew, I honestly wouldn't be surprised.
Why not both?
