What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

The two warmongerers should just go at each others directly without involving other countries.

russia trying to redirect resources away from ukraine to israel, so it would be easier to manage the war against ukraine.

What's Russia going to do? Threaten Israel with mean thoughts and curses? After 3 years of Ukraine fighting Russia to a standstill, that's probably all they have left. They've already chewed through their Soviet "inheritance".

And their dwindling supply of meat for the grinder. Kids on the frontlines next.

I got into an altercation with someone who pushed past me at a train station. As soon as he grabbed me, two other completely unrelated people started fighting me as well. Governments like Putin’s Russia are those unrelated guys. Seeing a fight that doesn’t involve them is all the excuse they need to start throwing punches.

In Russia’s case they’re still holding Ukraine against the wall trying to take their lunch money while simultaneously threatening to start more fights they lack the resources to win.

Your metaphor is not describing the role of Russia, but rather of US, UK, France, Germany etc. siding with Israel, despite Israel launching the attack on Friday to sabotage diplomatic solutions with Iran and aiming for an all out war.
