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.

I can’t tell if this is dementia or his regular poor taste and racism.
It's damn both.
I hate Trump. Fuck Trump.
However, out of all the disgusting and ghastly shit Trump has done and said, this one is not that bad. Poor taste, sure. Racist? Come on. Did you even read it? It was actually witty compared to his typical knuckle dragging bullshit.
This guy is a sex predator, pedo who is trying to be a dictator and is taking our democratic rights away. Let's focus on that first. Don't let this petty bullshit be the focus.
I'll take my downvotes now.
I'm sorry but this is terrible diplomacy and diminishes the America's soft power on the world stage.
Yes we're moving into a multipolar world where soft power matters less but narrative building is always relevant and rubbing your allies the wrong way is just terrible strategy from any vantage point.
Trump's caused so much damage to Western credibity in so little time just by highlighting and widening fault lines at a records pace. This will create a vacuum that others will seek to occupy. This comment may not seem like much but it's another little cut that will slowly bleed away America and the West's standing in the world.
Yeah, no shit. That's why I said all the negative stuff. Fucking relax.
I guess he could always do worse and joke about Hiroshima...but I wont give ideas...
He does worse most times he opens his mouth. Calling a woman "piggy" to her face is considerably worse.
I personally think a Hiroshima reference to Japan's PM is a worse faux pas than calling someone piggy... But, hey, everybody has differing levels of sensitivity i guess.
It wasn't Hiroshima. He referenced Pearl Harbor.
Hiroshima reference?
Are you asking what Hiroshima is?
I agree that's worse morally, but that not worse for the diplomatic relation between two of the worlds biggest economies.
Then maybe she shouldn't have spent the last year sucking his cock.
THIS is true, anyone who placates him for their benefit deserves to get the full tramp treatment.
I guess he could compare the PM to a gueixa or something, no guardrails :/
Yeah but this anecdote betrays a shitty personality. At the end of the day he is an unapologetic child rapist first and foremost, and it's hard to imagine what could surpass that depravity, but these little vignettes help paint the picture who have trouble believing the commander-in-chief is also the chomo-in-chief.
Yes.
Well...she's a huge fan of Trump so she deserves all she gets.
He has dementia, this isn’t it though. This is his true self.
Dropping the mask.
Why not both.
With Donald you never have to choose.
Both. He's always been racist, but dementia removes what filters do exist.
He's brought it up before in dealing with Japanese diplomats
