What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

Pots and kettles...

Russia also mocked the EU for not joining this war and not helping the USA.

I don't get it, is Iran their ally or not? Why would they want Europe to attack Iran? Oh right, they need a distraction from Ukraine and they don't give a fuck about a single ally.

The new allies are Russia and the USA.

"Russia"'s allies are not other coutries, it's other elites. No country is allied with any country. It's just that the elites agree on what they should do to get away with more shit.

It's always an alliance of convenience amongst authoritarian states.

Russia doesn't care about the US either, the only reason they put Trump in charge is because he is a devisive fuck up loser and would cause the most chaos.

Though if Putin really wanted to destabilize the US into oblivion, he would have "leaked" documents about hacking voting machines to achive a Biden win in 2020. Not that it is at all true, but that would have tipped the MAGA extremist projection over the edge and caused them to errupt into a mass of violent thugs that would have made the Jan 6th Imsurrection look like a picnic.

If Russia has the unredacted Epstein files, releasing those would truly destabilize the world.

Since the unredacted haven’t been leaked, this conclusion either means no one has them OR class solidarity amongst the Epstein class is more important than destabilizing the world.
