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.

Honestly if this happens I'm sorry to the normal people there but I'd be in favor of nuking the US over this. We can't let another Hitler get his way nomatter the consequences.
I'm fairly sure the divided states have more operational nukes than the rest of the world combined. Meaning nuking them will end with near total annihilation of the planet. Accomplishing what exactly?
Honestly I'm fine with that. Everyone dies might as well stand for something.
At least I'd die with the knowledge China's going to absolutely smash you when you have no allies.
Don't get me wrong, I am with you on "might as well stand for something" - I just don't agree with being the party to use WMD. Even if I had nukes and someone was sending their nukes to me, I wouldn't fire back. What's the point in taking everyone with me when I won't be around anymore?
Because your weakening them for the next guy, likely China in this case. WMD should be a last resort but this is America the only way to fight back is hitting them with absolutely everything. What happens when Trump decides he wants the UK or Australia for a golf course .
Fuck him we will all go together.
Leaving the planet uninhabitable and killing off not only civilians as well as countless animals is the kind of pettiness that has me believe humans do not deserve to evolve.
Why did you get down voted? Back then US nuked Japan to stop the war. Why not now? It's a fair game.
And how many deaths would nuking America save before they invade Greenland? It's a net negative my dude. If you're going to quote history, you should probably understand it. Invading Japan would have cost millions of Japanese, American, and European lives. Nuking Japan killed hundreds of thousands to save millions.
Nuking the US is just going to kill hundreds of millions to save Greenland, and give any surviving MAGA a literal excuse to nuke the planet for Billionaires to then buy up for pennies in the dollar.
Nuking the US won't stop them. That's what they want. It's why they used their money to buy their way into US politics. The US can now just be blamed for this bullshit instead of the billionaire puppet masters that are behind it. It's those billionaires that want Greenland, not the US.
There's like 8 of them too. You just need to kill those 8 people and pretty much the entire fucking world will prosper.
They'll survive the US getting nuked though, as their plan is to buy up your government next. And they likely already are.
Guess Americans I can't blame them or maybe other Europeans who don't want to escalate.
I don't believe in half measures though, history kind of shows them to be pointless. I figure an invasion of a nato country is unrestricted war.
I'm guessing you didn’t think that through. The US is the second largest nuclear power in the world. The US has more nukes than India, Pankistan, Israel, and North Korea combined. Even if the US was hit first, or if Washington was vaporized, hundreds of US nukes would still launch from submarines, silos, and bombers. Poke the bear, and they’ll realiate. Trust me, nuclear war isn't something you want. Why do you think it hasn't happened since 1945?
