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.
- 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.

Trump doesn't, but the people who whisper in his ear do
OK, why do they want it?
To dismantle NATO and generally weaken the west.
It is also a theoretically strategic important location for a future northern route between Europe, Asia, and North America if/when the polar icecaps melt.
It gives a direct route from the USA through the Arctic to the entire coastline of Northern Europe and Russia, and it places the USA on every side of Canada, surrounding it. So it makes it easier for the USA's military to reach Europe, Russia and Asia, and easier to seize Canada by force, should Trump decide to follow through on his threats.
Sadly I think we’re gonna see NATO fall apart when article 5 is triggered. Even if another NATO ally attacks a NATO ally, that wouldn’t dissolve it. What will is when the attacked nation enacts the article and no one is willing to help. Especially if the aggressor is the US.
Control of the Arctic circle. We expect shipping lanes to open up and new access natural resources. Thanks to climate change.
These motherfuckers think it will still be business as usual with mining, farming, shipping when climate change has melted the North Pole.
The powers that be are eyeing up territory that may become valuable in a warmer planet. I think they have a pretty good idea what's in store.
More war ahead.
I asked this question a couple weeks ago. Seems like the real answer is rare earth elements.
I recall reading something about an old technocracy thing that Elon dad loved, and as I recall Elon fell in love with the idea
Ultimately its in these neanderthal brains that since global warming is happening and these morons are too poor to move to New Zealand or have their own megayacht then building a bunker in Greenland is their next best option. I think they got the subliminal idea from a movie that was about their shrinking dicks.
