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.

We're gonna lose military bases over this, and likely never get them back
Bibi wants to go back to being our only option over there, and he's clearly willing to make everyone else hate America to accomplish that.
Because Bibi wants to wipe them all out, and he can't do that why they host US bases
Who's "we"? USA? In that case that's good, you don't need military bases all over the world.
They clearly mean the USA and if you read slightly further they also cover at least one reason the US losing bases is bad for people besides the US:
I'm not trying to say the US should have bases by the way, your comment just seems to be shooting from the hip and filled with emotion enough that you're not reading
Why are you so willing to give a free pass to the United States? We were never on the right side without there being economic plunder for the already wealthy.
By "free pass" do you mean "only point out issues with Bibi"? I personally wouldn't call that a free pass but if that is what you mean, I get your comment, if it isn't then I probably need it explained to me
The US doesn't need any help on that front.
The countries that were giving trump planes a year ago are now "rethinking their investments in regards to America".
I guarantee without Bibi those countries would still have a positive view of trump
Rationale companies already hated him, this is making far right authoritarian dictators hate him too.
Leaving Israel as our only ally in the region in an attempt to guarantee support even after trump leaves office.
We see a lot of hand-wringing from Democrats, it'll at least be interesting to see if every government in the world is equally impotent in the face of catastrophe
They typically are. If there were more politicians with spines, we wouldn't be in any of these situations, and yes, I do mean any of them. And as we all know, there's a LOT.
