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.

We should be screaming from the rooftops about our gov'ts lack of action here. At the very least we should be sending a few Hercs down to Cuba laden with food, water and fuel ... and not saying one fucking word about it to the orange scumbag.
You'd risk sanctions and regime change? I mean cool, but there's a reason nobody steps in to help whoever the US is kicking around, except countries already getting sanctions.
tRump wouldn't be able to do a regime change here, and as far as sanctions go he's already doing that.
The fuck we should be sitting around watching him do shitty things to a nation who has done sfa to him. Bullies need to be brought to their knees, not coddled like a small child.
You don't think the CIA has bot nets, money, and assets in your media capable of ensuring an acceptable candidate wins the election? Weird how rarely leaders hostile to the US are elected in the west, despite having a direct conflict of interest, and how if they are elected, they're never able to actually accomplish anything.
Then again, maybe the senile old man will just order the military to kidnap Justin Trudeau.
Why kidnap JT? Carney is our PM now.
American here, most have no idea that Canada has a prime minister and not president, and JT was the last name most of us heard in relation to the Canadian government.
I doubt very much Trump knows who the current PM is, so I could absolutely see him demanding the capture of "president Trudeau"
Trump has met with Carney at least a half dozen times since being elected. Im not sure if your ignorance is showing but maybe check it and tuck it in. Have a great day!
'gov’ts lack of action here' This is exactly what your government wanted?
I'm Canadian, not American.
What made you think op was American? Since you said "your", I assume you're not American. Why do non-americans keep assuming everybody they talk to is American?
Cant even find the original comment, but it was written in a way that seemed that op was American, which happens to be true if hs Canadian -> Did you know that there are many other countries that are located in the americas and so making the people living there American too? Why do people from (i dont know where you are from and wont assume anything because that seems to make you very angry) keep assuming usa owns the whole continent?
Why do you assume anything about "non-americans" , whatever that means? Have i assumed this many times now? And how dare you assume im not an American?
Op asked for "our government", meaning Canada's government to do something about the Cuba situation. You told them this was what "your government", meaning the Untied States government, wanted. Because you called the Untied States "your government", I thought itcwas safe to assume you weren't American. There was nothing about op's comments that indicated they were American
Hiw can you not find the original comment, it's right there, it hasn't been deleted
