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.

And you just talked past the crux of my argument where a shrinking American presence can lead to war without addressing it.
Maduro said that he would invade another country. He probably would have done it if it wasn't for a rapid American diplomatic response, the one before his kidnapping.
Borders will be in flux and those borders in flux will lead to war and death.
We'll see how much, we'll see to what extent one nation can subjugate another. Of course, the world will be in flux, of course people will die, but at least it won't be a collective effort by a select group of people and nations to enslave the whole world but regional differences that might be resolved with the least amount of bloodshed (which can't be done when war is a racket and you use it for profit, ammo has to be spent!). There's a revolution going on outside of the West, and good things will come, but of course we have to go through a bit of chaos. What's the alternative? Allowing the American empire and their vassals to run amok as they have, dropping bombs, droning and raping indiscriminately ?
Trump has made the American Empire caustic to the international order in part because he is leading the charge to discard the international order for something else.
I feel like the issue at hand is that revolutionaries want to promise a better tomorrow without building a non-American world order without acknowledging that the various wars between the world wars are only going to amplify and that many of the intermediate powers don't share the same political end goals.
? Why would they amplify? Do you know how many wars the American empire started or triggered through regional destabilisation efforts since WW2? From Korea to Ukraine, man, come on. That's not a reasonable argument to make IMO. We shall see, but I believe other communities won't go to war the way the West has so easily. And it's not a "revolutionary promise", it's just the reality of the world today, acknowledged even by the White House: we live in a world post American hegemony. This is why Venezuela took place, and Greenland is threatened.
Do you know the deaths that happened post World War I? Do you know the deaths that happened in World War I on the scale compared to what was before?
You seem focused a lot on "America bad" and I can't argue that an American led international order was bloodless, but the lack of a power is going to lead to increased conflict. After all, if it wasn't for the USA, why wouldn't Venezuela invade Guyana?
