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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.

My tinfoil theory is that Trump and Putin are going to secretly coordinate a direct attack on a Democrat city with a WMD. Trump will then say some BS about not wanting to escalate the war with a shit eating smile
More likely would be trump doing exactly what Putin did to secure power. Plant a dirty bomb on your own people and blame someone to start a war. That someone would be democrats which would justify the “enemy within” rhetoric. He wouldn’t be able to do this right away because the “enemy” are illegal immigrants right now so after that has been going in say 3-4 years I’d reckon we’ll see a bomb or two.
I feel like this would be perfect reason for him and the rest of the Republican Party to justify getting rid of term limits and then scrapping the next election. If trump dies before the next election then they would just use it to scrap the next election
Trump to the public: "Oh no! Ukraine set of a bomb in San Francisco/LA/NYC! See people? Putin and Kim Jong Un were the good guys all along!"
Trump later on a private call: "Did I do good, Daddy Vlad?"
Nah they’ve already spread that lie a shit ton already there’s no need to hammer it more. They also have spread it so much they have ample reason (according to them) to pull out of NATO. Now their agenda is making sure democrats can’t gain power ever again
Well that would be a quick way to get a million Americans to rip him out of the White House while the Police and Military go look at very interesting things anywhere but D.C. I don't doubt he could be that stupid, but I do doubt the government would just sit back and allow it. Between NORAD and FBI Counter Terror there would be alarms ringing. And if they succeeded we'd know exactly what happened.
