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.

How does Karoline Leavitt spin this one to reporters? Another joke? Or just attack the journalist for asking?
Even if it were a joke, some jokes aren't appropriate for the leader of a country to make. Multiple countries are taking him seriously and gearing up to defend Greenland. If I called someone's house repeatedly and threatened to rob them, I'd probably be arrested and the defence "it was just a joke" would do little good.
It was just a prank, bro!
The defense of bullies, since the beginning of bullies, along with "It was just a joke! Cantcha take a joke?"
Absolutely. I'm not making excuses, by the way. It's just that every other shitty thing he's ever said is passed off as some kind of a joke.
Until it's not. It always starts as a joke.
I'm waiting for the day the whole administration tries to flip the script and claim this was all a giant social experiment. They crashed the economy, invaded US cities with a militia, started killing civilians, and dragged us into a foreign war over oil and then kicked off WWIII bc they knew it was the only way they could get all the sheeple to wake up.
Like the current grift will just shift into a new grift where they pretend an angry mob of millions forming outside of the White House was actually their plan the entire time.
"This was a test and you passed. Congratulations, give yourself a round of applause."

She'll go ballistic at the reporter for daring to ask the question, just like any other day.
shes only 28, married to someone that most likely groomer her, and more than TWICE HER AGE.
She will say whatever and the "journalists" will smile and nod.
after she gets her lip injections, and botox, letting it rip after consuming mexican restuarant food. of course she wears lying CROSS.
