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.

The deal was already there. He always does this shit. Cause a problem, don't follow through, act like you saved everything.

And these fucking shit for brains troglodytes keep clapping and cheering with their limp tongues.

Had a coworker tonight come over and brag about how there was a deal made for allowing a military base and paying for mineral rights. So we burned the last of our goodwill with the world to get what we already had and his supporters are eating it up.

Got what we already have. 😎😏

Fucking USA, baby!

Fake solution to a non-problem.

I made a deal with my freezer so it would give up the chicken nuggets that i put there last week.

How would Denmark know about the deal? They don't have access to Trump's demented mind, which is the only place it lives in.

The concept being "Sit the fuck down Donny or we get to watch The American Great Depression 2: Electric Bugaloo"

His concept of a deal is to invade Baffin Island since it’s an island just like Greenland.
