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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

What does he think NATO is? Isn’t the treaty to protect against aggression, not be the aggressors?
He must have believed the russian propaganda about them being imperialist aggressors or something...
NATO is not just bureaucracy, it's an alliance. You CAN ask allies for help, but you are supposed to treat them as such.
He believes he is the king of the world and NATO is a human resources investment similar to the many departments of Trump Kingdom LLC.
Far as he's concerned, who cares if that's not their job or intention. He's paying the bills damn it - he pay the bill, plebs do what he says. It's really that simple.
A human resources investment which he has cut the funding for
Trump paid a bill? Nah, that doesn't sound right.
Narrator: Trump never pays his bills
How long before he explicitly demands to speak to the manager of NATO. I guess in some ways he already has.
I mean, some NATO nations have been known to join the US in a dumb fight. But Trump has also directly tariffed and threatened many of the nations that would normally help the US. Friends are gonna be short supply.
Spit your allies/friends in the face and see what you get ....
I wouldn't be surprised if trump is looking to use this for an eventual "out" ... throw a tantrum that he's not getting help so he'll pull out of the gulf region completely, only do the bombings but leave the strait and it's cargo issues as the unresolved mess they are.
Americans can't afford to buy stuff now anyway, it's not like they were going to get a lot of trade. We can barely afford our rent/groceries and hundreds are getting laid off every week.
He's spent more than the last decade doing nothing but criticizing NATO and saying it should be abolished and is shocked when they won't cover his war crimes and the consequences there of? Stable genius everybody.
Hm, many NATO countries actually did the latter for the US in the past.
The US was actually attacked at that time. Iraq was a different story and "coalition of the willing" was used.
NATO's Article 5 was invoked only once, by the US. Trump had the audacity to insult (former?) allies and deny that ever happened.
I think it's great no one wants to join his unsanctioned war.
Certifiably false.
Sorry, wat? Attacked by who? Saudis? The official reason for the yet another illegal war was that Saddam was amassing WMDs - do you see any familiar made up cause here?
Psst ,9 11 was a false flag operation and with inside help from ......
Yeah well Trump IS a fucking idiot.
Surely NATO could make an exception here and come to the aid of a non-member who’s the victim of aggression.
these psychopaths believe ripping babies apart is self defense. they have no souls or humanity.
That's not what Putin told him.
