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.

You're a moron.
And you’re in 4th grade? Who the fuck immediately resorts to name calling instead of attempting to actually make a point. Loser.
I don't have serious discussions with anyone who sincerely believes in American exceptionalism, just like I don't have serious discussions with fascists. I am particularly disinclined to have any discussions with an American fascist who clearly has no respect for my country or the former alliance we had with the US. My country has literally bled for you ungrateful pricks, among many other contributions over decades, and I can't think of a single thing you've done but bully us.
Discussing with your camp is never in good faith. You don't believe in words, and there is no evidence or argument that is acceptable. It's a waste of time to bother. Thankfully I believe you're not representative of good Americans, who seem to have had enough of this bullshit.
By the way you should know your insults mean nothing to me. I've been called worse things by better people than you (I'm sure that's a low bar to clear), and I've seen who you look up to. Get back on your knees for your orange daddy, maybe this time he'll finish in your mouth.
It’s not American exceptionalism. It’s math.
Bring it on then champ. Nothing will hasten the downfall of American shitpumps like yourself more than going to war with half the world. And if you do, you might as well just hand the keys over to China. I mean you've pretty much guaranteed they ascend to world superpower already by shooting yourselves collectively in the dicks, but frankly it would be nice to see it happen in my lifetime.
Hope you live in a northeast state, I look forward to when we cut all your power and you have the distinct pleasure of freezing to death in the dark.
Cheers!
You're so dumb... I'm not MAGA. I'm someone that can read and look up numbers. The Canadian military has < 100 jets in total. Luke Afb has 97 at that base alone.
I want this MAGA regime to fall, fast... but I also find triggering idiots that can't be bothered to google simple numbers wildly entertaining.
Ok now do economic levers and Arctic warfare capability of Canada + EU. And maybe think beyond the initial invasion.
Have you really thought this through, or did you just add up planes and tanks on one side vs the other?
Canada + EU is a different conversation. You’re moving goal posts to fit your narrative.
