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.

Change my mind: Literally zero people want Greenland to be part of the US except Donald Trump and the people who have trained themselves to always agree with Donald Trump.
They don't even have a fucking reason. Oh, it is an important strategic location? Good thing we already have a base there!

The dragon hoarders want to hoard more.
There you go. My current working theory.
P.S: wonder where the existing rare Earth metals went? Ask the planned obsolescence/anti-repair people and the Phoebus Cartel.
This is a great list. You have to accept the premise that White House's agenda is literally techno feudalism though. As crazy as it sounds, I think it may be.
The people who have trained Donald Trump to agree with them. They want oil, minerals, land, etc.
Are we already forgetting that trump invaded Venezuela for oil, then the oil companies said "excuse me but we can't profitably exploit their notoriously shitty oil"?
Part of being a literal Nazi is that the o.g. Nazis got themselves stuck in an increasing number of military quagmires not because they had to but because they refused to do consider the obvious peaceful solutions for their problems. The war machine had to be fed even at the cost of their own self-destruction.
Except this time they have a nuclear arsenal capable of wiping all civilization and somehow people aren't freaking out nearly enough about that.
And then not have the capacity to refine the minerals so they have to send the stuff to China for processing
I believe the accelerationists want Greenland to join the US. Those guys are eager to see a nuclear war kick off.
literally zero? like literally? exactly zero Americans
what planet are you from

Greenland is the suicide capital of the world.
I'm pretty sure a lot of people are instinctively against US acquisition because they've been trained to think colonialism is always bad and what Trump does is always wrong.
Looking at history, colonialism has always been bad for the indigenous people.
Similary looking at history, what Trump does has always been wrong.
Also fuck you, if you think you know better whats good for Greenland than people who live in there.
There isn't a single colonial project that was/is benevolent. So yes, colonialism is always bad. Also fuck off with the "acquisition" euphemism. What the USA is proposing is simply stealing somebody else's land.
You wanna pump those numbers up by subjecting them to US health care?
Are you actually arguing that the US should take Greenland? What in the actual fuck?
No, I would never disagree with the crowd.
The crowd is always right.
Fuck you asshole.
Trump may not always be wrong but it's certainly in the high majority of things he does. Currently I can't think of anything he has done that is actually positive.
