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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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.

So no nukes for Ukraine!? I guess there is just no pleasing you. We can't fix it diplomatically, we can't fix it economically.
I guess the default solution is to let a bunch of innocents die and slowly bleed the criminal state that is Russia.
Trump tried diplomacy!? You must really have your head far up where the sun don't shine to believe that.
I said you were a warmonger, you haven't convinced me you are not. Until you do your opinion as a chickenshit saber rattler does not matter to me.
Yet again, you're blowing a lot of hot air without providing ANY solutions, or arguments.
For the hundredth time, how do you stop an atrocious, evil war criminal like Putin peacefully?
Please, I'm begging for the answer here. How many more times do I have to ask it?
I've never said Ukraine or anyone needs nukes. Are you a retard? Can you read? That would explain why you keep ignoring all the main points and questions.
I would gladly fight and die protecting my country from Russian occupation, exactly what Ukrainians are doing. And they would be winning hard if they had more advanced military (what EU is trying to do and you are arguing against).
You are literally parroting main points of Russian propaganda, how arming up is bad and will lead to further conflicts. No, it will prevent further conflicts, by deterring dictators from invasion.
Are you sure you are not a Russian bot or have been affected by Russian propaganda and disinformation?
And many many more people WILL die protecting their countries, unless they have a strong enough military to deter Russia from invading them in the first place.
That's the fucked up reality we live in, thanks to dictators and billionaires running the world. If history has taught us anything, the only way to stop evil is to fight it.
Give me an example from any time in history where evil dictators were dealt with diplomaticcally. I'll wait.
Yes he fucking did. What do you think that Alaska visit to discuss the peace deal was for? I never said he was good at it. But if the "most powerful" man in the world with the most powerful military backing him, cannot achieve a single shred of diplomacy, what chances do the small and weak European countries have?
You're arguing like my 5 year old nephew:
Do not bother replying if you're just gonna cry again "wAr Is BaD", without answering any of my questions or providing any arguments as to what the alternative is.
I said the easiest way to end the war is to give Ukraine nukes. Your reading comprehension is dismal.
You already decided there are no answers. You gave up with your only solution as a conventional arms race. You solution is stupid and will lead to more death. That is because you are a warmonger.
If you think Trump seriously tried diplomacy your even dumber than I thought. The world must be really confusing when you believe such nonsense.
The US could end this war in a heartbeat, why won't it. Why does Europe keep buying oil from Russia if they are so bad. You see, you don't have these answers because you are apparently incapable of critical thought.
Go rattle your saber somewhere else chicken hawk.
Projecting much?
Hahaha, thanks for a laugh.
Sure buddy. You win! Go pop that champagne!
