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.

You must not remember 9/11 or the events that followed. Any attack on American soil is open season on tearing up American rights and freedoms. We are still getting buttfucked by the Patriot act and it's been 24 years since it was signed. You really think Trump is going to ignore all his fellow ~~potheads~~ hothead and turn the other cheek to infallible power?
Edit: lol autocorrected hothead to pothead🤷♂️
Worth bearing in mind that we never actually retaliated against the power most closely tied to the attackers.
Most of the people involved were Saudi and they may have had Saudi assistance. Instead we invaded Afghanistan where he was for a period of time, and Iraq who had nothing to do with anything.
So Russia attacking the US could plausibly result in us suspending habeus corpus, abolishing the FDA and spending a decade embroiled in a land war in Azerbaijan.
Oh, yes please, just saw that as an Armenian. Flattening Azerbaijan is worth the rest.
Lol why would you repeating exactly the same shit I already wrote in the comment you are responding to be something worth bearing in mind? Either you think your arguing against me or you don't know what bear in mind means🤣🍻
What are you on about? As a reader of both your comments they aren't at odds, and it was worth bearing those facts in mind.
He does, that's why he said that.
If Russians were to hit the US, Trump would probably retaliate by hitting North Korea.
Exactly like Bush - he never hit Saudis, did he?
That's because Saudi Arabia is an ally. The handful of Saudi Arabian born people that conducted the attack were enemies of Saudi Arabia as well. Osama Bin Laden would have happily shot the entire Saudi royal family.
I am pretty sure Trump considers Putin "an ally"
Well, not just American rights and freedoms. You know, all those US actions and UN votes and vetoes that seem to have only one thing in common - that people in the Middle-East must suffer. It's as if the American deep state, if such a thing exists, were still punishing them for daring to bring some of the pain to US as feedback.
You know, when the white master erases a couple of cities or does a genocide or two, they were trying for your good, it just went wrong, no hard feelings. And when you respond - you dare, you should be punished.
OK, I'm looping those feelings too much.
Yeah I apologize but I'm not even really sure what your context or message is with this comment. I don't even know what or who you are calling the white master cuz I assumed Trump but you go on to reference like the only crime he hasn't committed by saying "do a genocide?" I dont even know what fuckin cities you mean by saying "got erased."
