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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
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 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.

U.S. allies and foes fear Maduro's capture sets precedent for more American intervention (www.nbcnews.com)

The lack of a clear legal justification and the precedent set by the operation have left others wondering how vulnerable they might be to U.S. intervention.

Russia and China swiftly condemned the strikes and called for the release of Maduro, who has been brought to the U.S. to face criminal charges. Iran and Cuba denounced what they called a violation of international law, their objections carrying an edge of unease that they, too, could find themselves in Washington’s sights.

Even major European allies, more cautious and measured in tone, carefully signaled concern about the operation’s legality while largely aligning with the U.S. on policy.

Taken together, these responses suggest the revival of old fears of American interventionism, prompting allies and adversaries alike to ponder where Washington might act next.

Grow a pair, Europe.

Problem is: stupid senile president + no limit or empathy or concern over any existing laws+ full control over the financial system (visa, mastercard) and the numeric infrastructure (cloud, phones, ...) + capable to tax you higher than his "enemy" = not a lot of margin

It's not for nothing we said: don't vote for this fucker.

You know, some things are worth going through temporary pain.

Fully agree and I can tell you that our dependence to technologies under usa control WILL DECREASE. I already asked my Executive Vice President LAST SUMMER how and when we could move on from American products.

But right now?

We use Google workspace (email, drive, etc) and phone (Android) to communicate and works across our worldwide locations, we use AWS and Microsoft as IT providers, we use Win11 and 10 000+ win servers or databases or softwares provided by American companies, we have plants in USA too, a lot of equipments used in our products are provided by American companies and our products are sold 50/50 in € & $. And the list can continue for hours ( .com is under USA control too and all our customers services use it).

So if suddenly, "Pumpkin(g) One" decide to call for a ban or a 200% increase of taxes or anything else as stupid because he don't like our comment about his operation... WE ARE FUCKED! My company dies, my country economy is heavily fucked, I don't have a job and lost 25+ years of my work because 30% of people across the ocean is not fucking able to detect fascists (or is ok with it).

People are PISSED right now, but they can tell as this fucker love playing a mafia boss and be a bully.

With the rise of fascism across the western hemisphere, I doubt anyone will act.

The honest truth is that Europe benefits from what Trump just did. Venezuela has a lot of oil, which it can not produce due to lacking technology. What they had in that tech they bought from Russia financing the war Europe cares about the most. With more Venezuelan oil on the market oil prices will fall, which hurts Russia. At the same time lower oil prices means less money to wage wars in the Middle East, which is good for Europe.
