What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

This is a difficult area to build a pier (currents and weather-wise). There's a reason there wasn't one in the first place.

Will this placate anyone? Probably not.

But, it sure will come in handy as time goes on.

There's a reason there wasn't one in the first place.

The reason is that Israel blockades the whole Gaza Strip.

You know thats nonsense. Israel is going to check every ship now at its source which is more efficient and what the US Coast Guard does.
