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.

Weird how every time Trump says that he’s in secret talks with someone, the other party denies it. It’s like everyone is lying all the time, or just one person is lying all the time. It’s sad when I believe other countries that we’re at war with over the president.
“Lawyers Press Conference at Four Seasons, Philadelphia. 11:00 A.M.”
He says things, and expects people to just go along with it because they want the clout. And his narcissism refuses to let him accept that his name isn’t worth any clout anymore.
He may not know. We know he's losing his faculties. He demands what he wants from his yes men - that they talk to Iran, that the work out an end to this war, etc. And they don't dare aregue back. They probably don't quite lie, but sneak around the truth, but he doesn't notice and then goes on believing what he wants.
It is sad. The U.S. has destroyed its credibility in the world, and we can thank Trump and those who voted him in for that.
Don't forget those who sat at home. Non-voters are to blame too.
But if they had voted for Kamala the middle east would be a mess and Israel would be commiting war crimes!
The real blame lies with the politicians, especially the Democrats, for not having a positive message that motivates people to vote. Both Trump and Kamala were genocidal and the Democrats don't disagree with going to war against Iran, they just have a bunch of process concerns. They're totally cool with bombing schools and hospitals and sending kids to die for Israel, they just feel like the proper procedure to do so should be followed.
The democrats and republicans are both on one side, the ruling class. Both are the enemies of the working class.
If the most untrustworthy person I've personally known and Trump both said something different I'd believe the person I've known before Trump. Yet somehow Trump gets to be in charge of the biggest military on earth.
