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.
-
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.
-
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.

Thank you! I copied the comment from elsewhere, I appreciate your additions!
I like your post. 50 years from now, high school students are going to open their US History book and read what the orange bumble fuck said during a war he started. Humiliating and perhaps the Americans might learn a lesson from the MAGA disaster.
If americans could learn we wouldn't have a 2nd trump presidency. We're on average stupider than bart with the cupcakes.
Beautiful. Thanks for compiling this.
From that, he does seem to have been getting a lot more agitated over the past week. We'll see how that translates into actions.
Apr 8: TACO!
(I hope)
That's the thing I was wondering about the TACO meme. Is it good to mock him on chickening out when it is best for everybody that he does chicken out?
In that case, we should reinforce good behaviour by praising him:
Trump Admirably Chickened Out
I swear we live in the dumbest timeline. Can we switch back to pre-Covid timeline before Trump?
Iran has been calling his bluff at every point. Not surprising.
Hilarious to see. Would be great if it didn't ruin everything while being hilarious though.
Republicans had a choice. They chose to make things worse. They can't complain about laughing out of frustration or dark humor. Not after decades of sabotaging America so they could finally control USA.
Republicans had a whole bunch of choices. They still have a lot of choices. They keep choosing to do the stupid and/or evil choice. I'll be laughing at them and what happens to Americans for years or decades.
I'm more concerned about the rest of the world having to deal with the consequences of moronic republican decisions.
I’m more concerned about the rest of the world having to deal with the consequences of moronic republican decisions.
This is the worst part of it. I didn't vote for that moronic child fucker. I can't even vote in that shithole because I don't live there. Yet, I'm getting fucked, and roughly, because of them.
But hey, 'don't go "all americans" because some of them didn't vote for him'. Well fuck you! You didn't vote for him, but what about us? Getting screwed by someone who's not even in our continent just because he fucked kids and don't want to go to jail for it?
Oh but don't you know Kamala Harris wasn't a good enough candidate so some Americans couldn't bring themselves to vote for her.
Fuck those guys even more than MAGA.
Absolutely. Anyone who was eligible to vote in the US that didn’t vote for Kamala Harris come the general election is part of the reason we have Trump. These are objective facts at this point.
“But Gaza!”, “both sides”, “NeoLiberals”, etc. are all flimsy excuses.
You want progressives to have a chance of winning? Make the Republican Party lose so badly that they aren’t contenders ever again. Now you can start to differentiate within the Democrat party to get some true progressives.
Nah, it's worse. Every voter that didn't vote in those elections just said: "I'm ok with both candidates". They have decided that choosing Harris or PedoHitler was the same thing. Is not that she wasn't "good enough", it's that they said she was AS GOOD AS PEDOHITLER.
Some of them are still at it. A mere mention of choosing between lesser evil and they come in calling us 'genocide supporters'.
Yeah I'm getting a bit tired of the "I didn't vote for him" thing from Americans. I understand that they didn't but from the outside, I can't really start singling out people, so as a result I blame America as a whole. They should have fixed their system decades ago, but they didn't care enough.
I sympathize for all the anti-trump Americans... but they are doing as much as the Republicans are doing, to remove him. Which is fuck all. Going on a parade on a Saturday once in two months doesn't count as doing something, no matter how "historically large" it was.
I wasn’t even old enough to vote against him the first time he ran. I did my best to convince all my historically conservative Republican family to not vote for him, however the propaganda they consume is too strong to get to them. My mother has been watching Fox News chronically since 1997 when it first aired. By 2016, she’d been consuming that propaganda straight for damn near 20 years!!!
They can't complain
Unfortunately, they can and will.
They need to clutch pearls at every chance they get to show how 'evil' the left is so they can villainize them easier.
The US had a perfectly good nuclear deal with Iran, but Trump chose to rip it up nine years ago because it had Obama's name on it.
Should come to no surprise that Iran don't want to end this crisis diplomatically with the same guy who stabbed them in the back just to spite the Democrats...
Trump sparked anger and concern around the globe on Tuesday morning with his post, which read, “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!”
I've not read the full wording of his Truth Social post until now, but why does it read like he's trying to cut a wrestling promo?
I mean his description of the US airman rescue operation in yesterday's press conference where he called the Iranian army a "hostile, very talented, very good, very evil military" was giving me Danhausen vibes...
If he plays his cards right, he might end up winning the WWE Peace Prize.
Did you misspel WW3? 🤭
The US had a perfectly good deal. Israel didn't. If the deal had stayed in place, the Iranian econony would have roughly doubled by now. That's a lot more resources that could stay in Israel's way of expanding into Lebanon for example.
Out of curiosity I checked out how Fox News is covering this shit show. Totally fucking unhinged is an understatement. He could livestream eating a baby and they'd be praising his bold nutritional choices.
It's wild. Meanwhile, other mainstream media channels are accused of leftist propaganda by these deranged lunatics, simply for reporting the facts.
Dude at work randomly walked up and said Iran is gonna be a nice parking lot. Like I've known you two weeks and my toolbox is covered in socialist stickers, either you can't read or you're real real fuckin dense.
Americans if this is not the time for second amendment I don’t fucking know what it. This is Munich 1938, it’s now or deal with a king and a world war where you guys are the Nazis.
The opposition has been infighting and soon you’ll all be silenced too. Before Germany invaded Europe, they stamped out any dissent within their borders first. Throwing the growing list of undesirable in camps without due process.
It’s not like this is already happening in America is it? 🤔 But really Americans how much more do you need? And don’t just throw your arms up in the air and dodge blame while you sit on your couch watching Netflix.
Your country was won by fat farmers and every profession in between when they realized it was UNITE OR DIE
No one in their right mind talks with a lunatic.
By acting crazy and threatening people, dj appears to have made up his own mind long ago.
I'm so confused. I thought there was a 2 week cease fire starting today?
Everything is a lie unless an Iranian official confirms it. That is the new order of things.
This post is older than the ceasefire announcement.
Who would've thought the art of the deal is just black mailing?
The Art of the Deal: Letting your fragile self be easily manipulated into getting nothing that you wanted.
He's a shitting, screaming, spoiled child having a temper tantrum. Oh, he also has access to the nuke codes. Nothing to worry about. /s
Well if the nukes fly tonight I hope there's at least a few that refuse the orders
This could be a blessing in disguise. He called Biden a retard on Monday. He's now upped the threats a notch.
Could be he got some very bad health news from Walter Reed medical over the weekend.
Huh. Weird. Turns out when you show a demented willingness to cause mass genocide, people might get the impression that negotiations aren't really an option anymore.
It isn't really "talks" when the alternative is to be destroyed as a civilization. That's bullying and extortion
This is 'Sum of all Fears' level of OH FUCK.
Yep it's not funny. Some commenters seem to find this funny. It's not. He's an incredibly dangerous man and easily capable of killing millions with zero remorse.
That went well.
I would wish he would just die already but I honestly believe he is just a puppet with 80 different hands up his ass.
Good. Call his bluff. Show the world what a fucking idiot asshole he is.
