What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

Please part ways with NATO as well

Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits are too strategic for US, Turkey will always have huge baraining chip with them so it would be very impratical for them to leave NATO and lose that leverage.

It would be, if we could trust Turkey to actually honor it's alliance commitment, but it is equally likely at this time they'd just say 'nope, we're not participating in this war' and bugger off.

Okay, cool. So anyway, as I was saying…

[–] Astroturfed@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I wish everyone would just pull the rug on Turkey already. They've been getting sweetheart treatment due to their geographical importance while pissing on everything they touch for decades. They're a full clown makeup country at this point. No one should take them seriously.

They got nukes and are close to us

He can part ways with the European Union. He's rich regardless. It's the people, as always, that will suffer.
