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. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
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. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

"These things are important now to put clearly on the record and, I believe, help voters in Germany and France understand that some of this politics is instigated via our enemies, namely Russia," media reports Burnham saying.

The last 20 years have made the destabilization of nations through online propaganda, honeypots, bribery and media consolidation extremely easy to see.

They only need a small percentage of gullible/insane people to create chaos and make previously functional institutions into worthless husks.

Example: FBI, FDA

at the behest of the Epstein class.

elections are for sale and they are the buyers.

Eh Russia is very capable of having its own geopolitical agenda, Israel isn't the only player in this game. In fact, driving a wedge between the UK and continental Europe was on the agenda in the 90s if not earlier. As was driving division in the US by boosting racism

Dugins dream coming true.

Has anyone in UK heard of Nigel Farage? Does he have any responsibility, and is some/most of the foreign money propping him up from the US instead?

[–] Malica@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He's also propped up by Russia

I'm from Canada. We have foreign interference scare propaganda constantly. The scare is China, Russia, and India sometimes. Never the overt US/Israel first election funding/interference, and we are under current annexation threats from one of these. Deflecting from native traitors with direct CIA/mossad support is SOP for US empire colonies.

[–] StateMachine@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

Absolutely true, but it's getting much more blatant and easier to see now than it has been over the last decades

So much of the strategy laid out in Foundations of Geopolitics: the geopolitical future of Russia in 1997 has already been implemented, and unfortunately more are in the works

I'm not British, so this is an outsider perspective, but wasn't Brexit a non-binding vote? How the fuck does a non-binding vote pass with 52% of the vote and fuck up so much?

[–] Tiresia@slrpnk.net 23 points 2 days ago

The Tories promised to honor the non-binding vote. If they had overturned the result, they would probably have gotten wiped out in the next election, and that would mean they would no longer be able to do the jobs they enjoy doing.

If they cared about the wellbeing of the country, they wouldn't be Tories.

This has been known and talked about in the intelligence communities for the longest time. If Brexit had been in scope of the Intelligence and Security Committee Russia report from 2020, this would have been public knowledge then.

As if Boris didn't make it obvious enough

big if true.
