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.

Do you think, say, Mongolia is at risk of being arbitrarily attacked? Should the Phillipines hurry up and nuke up?
Both of your examples absolutely should, Mongolia is resource rich and insanely underdeveloped, that will be a target of imperialism in short order if they don't. The Philippines are more or less under US control already but if they had nukes they sure as shit wouldn't be. Until no one has nukes the countries with them cannot be trusted to act in good faith any longer. The US, Israel, and Russia have demonstrated that with both Ukraine(who had nukes and then gave them up under the pretense of protection from the largest threat to them with nukes - Russia) and Iran.
Get nukes if you want to keep your people safe is the message of geopolitics over the past 20 years. I dont like it but its the correct strategic position if you are attempting to safeguard a nation. Its fucked up but its the reality of the situation.
Do you think the Iranian regime is something that should be kept safe?
Do you believe the American and Israeli regimes should? I think all three should be destroyed and the world would be a much better place for losing them.
Iran being a theocracy doesn’t make this war just it’s just a flimsy excuse for Israel and the US to control the region. It’s never once been about Israeli security.
I will not respond to you again. I hope your day is as good as a Palestinian child!
A few posts up you were saying everyone should have nukes to protect themselves, now you're saying you want at least three of them destroyed
It's commendable that you care for Palestinian children but I don't think you've really thought about how a nuclear armed Iran would help them
