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'm not sure Trump would care very much about that, what difference does it make to him if a bunch of Muslims don't have water?
He might even see that as a win/win.
To Trump it's all about the oil, and increasing oil prices making it harder for him (Republicans) to win the mid terms, even with all the cheating they have planned.
He definitely cares about what the Saudis want, it's a big part of why he's in this mess. He's taken billions in bribes from dangerous people.
He doesn't care about the people for sure, but the people who pull his chain need that water.
Or Trump just claims the Saudis could do more to help, and their failure to do so makes it their own fault.
He may still have an exit strategy
I assume Israel also isnt very happy right now because they have had hundreds of casualties in the last few days alone from Iranian missile strikes. I think its getting a bit too spicy for them too at this point.
IDK, Netanyahu wants to destabilize the entire middle east, so Israel can be the #1 dominant force there, seems like Iran is helping him a lot with that.
I bet that to him a few casualties in Israel is just collateral damage.
Anyways, if it's going bad for Israel, that makes me happy. Israel 100% needs to be reigned in.
If it's going bad for Trump that also makes me happy, because Republicans need to get seriously unpopular in USA, then maybe a path will finally be opened for USA to progress away from their sociopathic polices.
For USA this is 100% moronic, because USA had a lot of control of the middle east, and this will make USA lose a lot possibly all of that.
About Israels plans to destabilize the middle east: do they really think that everyone will just peacefully accept that Israel forced them into this mess? Land of eye for am eye and all that?
They have most of the Gulf states allied with them and US, even if their people protest it. They make a peep when there are heavy genocide days, but forgive easy.
They want to have constant enemies and they have raised generations with pure hatred now. It is a diseased culture even worse than the US which is both amazing and horrific at the same time.
Nine in ten Israelites unironically support the War in Iran. This level of bloodthirst is scary beyond words. They will never stop fighting and will turn on their allies in a second. I really hope there is a peaceful solution, but I just can't see one.
IDK, I guess they expect that with the societies broken and Arab countries abandoning USA, they will be the only country left standing.
It's insane, just about as insane as it was for USA to enter the war.
