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.

I'm an American and believe the nations of the world should sanction us into economic ruin over this (and everything else from the last year).
Won't happen. NATO/Europe still depends on the US .
In the short term, yes. In the long term, everyone is moving away from the US. The US has declined significantly in the last year, and that decline will continue because while everyone is still saying the US is an ally, we all know the US is really an adversary now. It's not going to be a big event that will register for brain rotted Americans that have no attention span. It's something that will change year over year.
It's just not in our best interests to openly antagonize Trump at the moment. Trump is an old man and he won't live forever, but the impact of the things he's done and the inaction of the American people means the US will not be trusted by any country for generations.
Stfu yankee
Nah. Just a targeted police action to arrest the rogue elements who purport to be the lawfully elected government.
They'd be justified in sanctions, but I don't think that it would actually accomplish anything. The people doing this shit don't give a flying fuck about them because it would hurt you and me, not them.
I support bombing both DC and Mar a Lago. Or, just bomb one of the golf courses he's at. He's such an easy target for anyone that wants to kill him.
I’m not a fan of anyone killing him but what if a country captures him and puts him on trial?
He’s already proven he’s okay with that.
They already have that covered.

As far as I know the US is charging Maduro domestically so what’s stopping another country from doing the same with Trump?
The US military.
If only he took less stimulants so that he stood still enough for that nice young man from Pennsylvania
Such a nice young man. A little more training was all he needed.
Dictators around the world are getting too comfortable. They're seeing too many examples of other dictators getting away with war crimes, illegal invasions, and other atrocities.
Putin emboldened Netanyahu, Netanyahu emboldened trump, and I don't even want to think about who's going to feel emboldened by trump.
Rules based order, multilateralism, and international law seem to be crumbling with no enforcement. Arguably the greatest achievements of the twentieth century, disappearing like vapor...
Xi Jinping. Taiwan is next, especially if this goes south and fixes the US naval assets in place for a prolonged period.
It’s impossible for any western country to sanction the US, we are 100% dependent on US payment processing, trade in USD and US security guarantees (which even if questionable are better than nothing).
It is possible for China to start selling US government bonds, essentially refusing to lend the US money and hold its debt. But I don't think they'll do it as a sanction for this event. They'll do it when they think it's optimal for their own plans. When a US president needs punishment from their perspective. The current president, from their perspective, doesn't need punishment because he's making enemies all over South America and shouldn't be disturbed while doing that.
As for European countries, I am fairly confident that US defense industry is already frustrated by inability to sell long-term projects. Ukraine will buy what it can right away, but others will think twice. By the way, I've got an F-35 to sell you... but you're only allowed to use it for US-approved conflicts. ;)
If they don't, Greenland will be next.
This is starting to smell like appeasement real fast.
As an American, I believe that we need to come together ASAP and form a police task force to remove the regime by legitimate, democratic means. It's called its shots: The regime has said that it intends to eliminate 100 million Americans.
By deportation for now. Let's not wait for its final solution.
What? Could you link me the quote for that. 100 million? Surely this can't be a number they said.
There is no way 1/3 of the population are there illegally (their justification for removing them), right?
May the multiverse gods have mercy on our timeline...
Here's a link to an article. As the reporter here points out, 100 million is suspiciously close to the number of nonwhite people in the U.S.
Holy balls.
Really hoping the Americans realise they need to rise up like yesterday. The world is so screwed. The US is far, FAR more militarily powerful than Nazi Germany ever was.
