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.

In other news: the US is runnig out of ammo. Yeah sure, let's open up a new front.
Dementeid old fool.
Not the same kind of tools would be used in a war with Cuba. In this scenario, the US has already the homefield advantage by controlling the gulf of "America".
Never heard of that
If I had a dollar for every time I read the "American military running out of ammo" story, I'd be richer than a Lockheed executive.
Americans are so easily gaslit on this shit. You can jump out behind a corner shouting "We don't have enough tomahawk missiles!" and they'll reflexively hand you $20B.
It's not that it can't be true they've expended a significant part of the stockpiles, it's more that the implication isn't that they won't be able to prosecute the ongoing or another war, just that they'll be somewhat limited by it and that if shit really hit the fan in the form of China for example they want to have a stab at it too then they could be in more trouble.
Reminds me a lot of the similar stockpile counting with regards to Russia in Ukraine.
And they're using supplies faster than they're restocking. But they're also running out of targets and slowly Iran's capacity to fire ballistic missiles in kind.
So we get hysterical coverage of what is normal and expected changes in munitions to drive stone broader narrative of military resumes and whose to blame.
don't worry... he already forgot that he is at war with Iran. he has to be reminded of it hourly.
I know you're being sarcastic, but still. With the likes of him and Hegseth in change, I am constantly worried. Even if I do live in a country that is not currently being threatened directly by them.
