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.

So, he loses rare batteries crucial to US defense, spikes oil prices world wide (long term for US), alienates the world even more, jump starts Russia's economy,, proves he’s Israel’s little dog on a leash, and kills some people, but doesn’t want to talk about it.
Spike gas prices while killing federal fuel economy standards, and spend taxpayer money to try and stop CA from their EV initiatives.
You know this is for the petroleum industry. Any time the price of oil goes up, they make record profits.
I'm already waiting to see who he's going to blame for all this. The usual suspects, like Biden, seem a bit "worn out" to me by now. Well, maybe Antifa, or even God himself, punishing the U.S. for its lack of faith? We'll see...
Whatever malignant narcissists do inside their false realities. Cluster B is no joke and yet 1/3 of the American people voted for this because (their thinking, not mine):
A: Trans is weird and incomprehensible
B: Women’s liberation is making me feel bad as a man and I don’t know how to cope with #life so I’m going to blame women’s lib for me being me. Oh, and birth rate, bitches need to get back to their real role…
C: We want Christianity to be rule of law.
D: See A.
E. He said he’d reduce cost of living and I believe him.
F. Immigrants suck and need to go.
I'm waiting to see who the Democrats will blame as they reassure Israel of their unconditional loyalty, and all the excuses they'll come up with as you why they can't hold anyone accountable.
Or Iran makes good on its threat re Netanyahu, no one stops it, and we watch a power shuffle to see if anything changes.
... then possibly proceeds to kill the Petro Dollar as Iran is basically promoting Yuan using selective strait blockage. That leads to USA losing reserve currency status almost overnight. Nothing Trump says can prevent this as he just demonstrated anyone with drones on the back of a pickup can stop the biggest military in the world. Wall streets freaks out in spectacular fashion and banks start dropping like flies for a repeat of 2008 bit bigger and better. China in the meantime starts handing out bailouts like candy.
That's not even worst case. That's where Israel runs out of defense ammo and decides a nuke on Teheran is an acceptabele move in that situation.
All because one guy thought he would have an easy win.
He has (had) the brain of an impulsive child. Now, he very likely has the brain of a child with Alzheimer’s.
I was about to laugh then i remembered that it's the real life and not some "what if..." or some story
