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.

Wait... Poland wants the Nazis now? Do they realize what they're asking for?
poland is still far-right politically, they just dont like russians.
Can’t say I blame them. Russia was pretty shitty to them on their way to Berlin. And still shitty until Poland escaped the Iron Curtain.
And still being shitty.
im surprised they havnt completely "hypnotized by russia" since most far right govts aligned with russia over the years.
Some on the far right have done so but most people learn the history of the last couple times Poland aligned with Russia and how it always ends with losing the country
They're asking for something that will force US involvement in a war if Russia were to invade.
There is zero evidence that the US would intervene if Russia invaded anyone, in fact we have evidence that the US wouldn't do shit about it other than sell weapons to make money from it. The US has been doing that exact thing with Ukraine, which Russia invaded. Expecting a different outcome in a nearly identical situation is one of the stupidest ideas.
Just look at the Arabian Gulf countries... They built US bases in the promise of protection, and when they were attacked as a result of the US starting a war, they were left to defend themselves AND defend the US bases while the American soldiers escaped to hotels.
You'd be a complete moron to request a US base after what we all just witnessed.
Will it though? I could easily see Trump just writing off the deaths of any service members as a favor to his best buddy Putin or even ordering them to help Russia with the invasion. Best case scenario he just has the entire base stand down and sit on their asses while Russia does what it wants. He's already indicated he doesn't give a single flying fuck about NATO, and it's not like he's ever let little things like laws or treaties stop him before.
Careful, Poland!
1939: Molotov–Ribbentrop
2026: Trump–Putin
Uuuh, somebody mix a new cocktail for them!
Vodka and pureed hamburger
No, I mean like the one they mixed for Molotov
dont know what MR pact was award
It wasn't specifically intended as the typical anti-communist shot many comments here normally are. More just a general "be careful who you invite in, Poland" as I don't feel cozying up to Trump and the US military is in any country's best interest.
While communism isn't for me, at least not in any way I've seen it play out, I do believe Marx got a lot right about capitalism. I can think M-R wasn't the best deal for Poland while also believing the US and much of the world was wrong for not being better allies to the Soviet Union. Some of us are capable of a little nuance every now and then.
thanks for clearing that up.
