A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

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.
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.
He's already started threatening other countries. He will keep going.
Greenland, Colombia, Cuba, Iran... The justifications for them being just as bullshit as Venuzuala, so undoubtedly there's huge concern.
But look how long it took for other nations to react when Hitler started occupying country after country. Sadly, shouldn't have hopes up.
Fascists always need an enemy to shift ire onto.
Stop calling it intervention. It’s the terrorist state declaring war on the world, congrats Americans you are the Nazis now. And you are all cowards for not standing up to this by all means
And you're a coward for not working on creating solidarity amongst them yourself. Way to attack those also oppressed by america. Try building a movement in your own country that doesn't just let it lick the US's feet before you go demanding that others do it in a country that has infinitely more guns pointed against them.
Why would I want solidarity among Americans? They’re nuts. Together they would be an even worse threat to humanity
Because that's your only hope to stop your land from being invaded by the American government? Literally a majority of Americans oppose most of Americas actions when given context? You call others cowards but you have no real solutions yourself, your mindset is only a few degrees off from a Nazi think if you paint with such a large brush.
And what is YOUR country doing to resist the exact same Far Right pressure on your government? We're the canary on the coalmine, and while you keep blaming the canary, the poison is growing in your country, too.
Im indigenous, my “country” is what you all took
Valid.
There's no such thing as a U.S. ally, and the quicker other countries know that, the better.
Europe and the rest of the same world need to start sanctions on the Trump regime now and nip it in the bud, we all saw what happened when Putin got away with attacking Georgia and then invading Crimea without any serious consequences, Trump will only get bolder next time.
intervention
You mean unprovoked invasions, right? No need for the cutesy wording used here, this is what it is
~~Intervention~~ Invasions and acts of war
ftfy
Stop calling it an intervention. It's an act of war and a war crime. Don't downplay this shit.
Yeah they mis-spelled invasion
If a home invader breaks into your house, and kidnaps your sister, then says, "I'm taking her out to my van. I'll be right back to kidnap you next," you'd be freaking out, yes, but it would be weird to say that you're freaking out because of the precedent.
It's utter lawless lunacy. They've given carte balanche to dictators everywhere
The Turd Reich
Someone go grab Kim Jong Un for the lulz
☢️🚀⤵️ 🌇💥🔥
For real, if anyone deserved to be abducted it would be Kimmy Boy. Could you imagine the crocodile tears that mammas boy would produce. Would be worth every penny to see that monster break down.
Oh lol I was just having a intrusive thought like: I wonder what happens if you just yoink the leader if a nuclear-armed state... nuclear war?
In a sane world of course not. We don't live in a sane world though. Hell, a country like Israel has nuclear weapons. That is the equivalent of a wolverine with rabies.
This was the whole point of nuclear disarmament. We can't trust human beings.
All other countries should just ban the orange fuckhead from their lands. Use the fact he is a rapist, a pedophile, and a felon. Then those countries should join together and say they'd arrest ON THE SPOT a criminal like that, citing that's what the US thinks it can do.
He should be tried by the ICC.
Unfortunately the US has the Hague Invasion Act and I guarantee 100% Trump will pull that trigger even if his buddy Benny is caught
Not that I disagree, though
Correction: Former Allies
"intervention"
Execute the pedo king!
