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.

Remember folks NATO was always dominated by the US. So no matter who is in the chair policy will be directed at keeping the US happy
Nope not anymore, several NATO allies supported Greenland with troops to protect against a US invasion.
EU of which many member countries are also NATO members, threatened USA with using the Bazooka, and anti coercion instrument that was originally made to defend against coercion attempts from China.
This Bazooka if used, could dramatically undermine US economy.
I think it's pretty safe to say that Europe and very much Canada too, are tired of pleasing Trump.
But for some reason Rutte hasn't got the memo, or more likely he didn't understand it.
Tired yes but the current structure of NATO has it where if the US got the boot the Institution would than collapse and have to be rebuilt from the ground up.
On the Greenland situation while Trump was pissed the more Imperialist Faction of the administration (the political figures that like to keep the Western Institutions that the US built) rather like Europe making use of their own military to defend their respective sphere (which included Green Land for obvious reasons) as doing so means the US has more assets to bomb Iran and such.
Yes which is why in reality NATO has already collapsed, it's just not been dissolved yet.
But we can't trust USA to lead NATO anymore. Are you aware that if a NATO operation were to happen in the middle east, USA would have control of the British nukes?
Obviously we can't allow that.
That is pure fantasy, USA has not redirected anything from the arctic or Greenland to be used against Iran.
Erm that's not how that works. The US as the leader nation doesn't give them control over Eroupe's military.
Really? The US didn't move assets away from Greenland after the Eroupean powers increased and establish a deal was reached to have the US back off on it's annexation threat?
That's exactly how it works.
Really. So if Trump where to hit the nuclear button the UK and French would also be launching their arsenal at who Trump commanded?
