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.

Sweeping tariffs combined with cutting off aid, curtailing imports from across the world will make America extremely weak.
trump doesn't understand this. The USA gets away with a lot of shit because it does a lot of other good. If we remove the good, we lose the tolerance for our shit.
I'm worried that his response will be military coercion...
Oh, it absolutely will be. Our drunken defense secretary said that soft power is weakness.
Might makes right. Get ready for WWIII.
He's a Russian asset, the question is only whether it's happening unwittingly. And I think we know how strongly wit can be associated with Trump.
I keep seeing this, but realistically, what could Russia possibly do to the US? Russia can't even defeat a tiny country they share a border with. I'd be more worried about China when it comes to an actual threat.
Russia doesn't want anything from the the U.S. except what it's already doing. Fucking shit up on the international stage and thereby destabilizing NATO.
Any decrease is Western Hegemony is good for Russia. It doesn't matter whether they achieve it by tossing some people out of windows, or by helping an orange toddler ascend to the highest office in the U.S.
Just like Felon...stop making electric cars or launching useful satellites and he's gonna get the reprisal of the public.... Much more than now. I assume.
Almost as if that's the whole point.
I think this guy is very likely going to invade an Ally once he's consolidated his coup.
Wonder who it would be.
glances nervously at the 51st state to the North
Canadians will go scorched earth before accepting occupation though. I can see the US union breaking apart sooner than Americans occupying and holding Ottawa
I hope so, but I saw a few province leaders in the news salivating at the chance to lick boots and chew leather when the tariffs were announced. Good luck to all of you stuck with those shitheels in charge.
Yeah... I really don't know what's going on there but its confined to mostly Alberta and Saskatchewan luckily. Our Conservative premier in Ontario is a (former? maybe?) Trump supporter but at least he's been very against it, even if it is just for the provincial election.
Our next federal election is where the future of our country is really going to be revealed though
Puerto-Rico is not north plus they voted in a referendum the US asked them to do to be part of the....
Oh, OK then, they'll abstain from the sun so they'll be whiter...
Lower supply of key goods should help with inflation, right? Ugh
