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.

I would imagine the U.S. is like a grizzly bear: Occasionally, it mauls you, but it's somewhat better to be an ally than to be its prey.
Trump has made clear America has no allies, only proxies and supplicants.
The one exception is israel and that's because of the capture of US media, politics and business by Zionist fanatics
Everybody knows that in international politics there are no friends, only interests. That's not news.
What Trump is doing new is that he's not furthering American interests but actually heavily damaging them. You can't trust crazy people, even if your interests align, because they might do this: act against their own interests. Makes them an impossible partner.
The Epstein-Trump criminal syndicate was an Israeli-American intelligence operation. That's the ONLY scenario where all of this makes sense. That's the only scenario where all of this, including the American Nazi parties rise to power, lead by the Epstein class, was allowed to happen.
There is no chance in hell these "intelligence" agencies weren't complicit in the worlds most high-profile corporate oligarchs, billionaires, and royalty frequenting a pedo-brothel for more than 2 decades. We already know they had mountains of evidence for most of that time. They're the only ones who have visibility of, and could cease all law enforcement investigations of, all perpetrators across the developed world. Epstein used unencrypted gmail comms to discuss their crimes because they knew they were protected by the overarching surveillance apparatus.
Yeah but now that the bear has found the meth cache it’s becoming less and less bearable…
Once upon a time USA was a rational actor. Now not so much.
