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.

Buuuullshit.
Utter garbage.
Extremely nope.
It takes deliberate ignorance to reach that conclusion. Forget the cuts in aid, which an article two posts up the chain here was directly linking to a worsening of cholera in South Sudan, the notion that anybody in Brazil or Mexico is going "I can't tell the difference" is ludicrous. Your mileage may vary on whether Trump invading Venezuela is a good or a bad thing, but I'm pretty sure the regime there isn't going "same thing, really".
I guess the Argentitian government would say things are better now, considering they just got bailed out in what amounts to buying a midterm election. In that case I'd wager it's the opposition who doesn't find things were just as bad a couple years ago.
What the hell do you have to be on to think only Europe has noticed open fascists being in charge in the US. This is why I've been taking a break from this place, holy crap.
The aids that rsf and israel can block whenever they like thanks to the usa allowing them no matter who is in power.
I hate to compare terrible things but do you really believe that currently what happening in Venezuela is worst than the destruction of Libya, the iraq war, the afghanistan war etc which canada and europe was complicit with the USA?
Do you also really believe that europe and canada cares about Sudan? Their goddamn weapons are found in Sudan and they have no sanctions on the UAE
It takes a prodigious amount of entitlement to look at things that way. The leap of logic from a tangible action to... some other thing that happened requires keeping the loosest possible tally and looking at international politics strictly from the lens of how it affects your worldview, rather than the actual impact on the ground.
No, my dear online performative leftist, the US deciding to reverse their policy and cut tens of billions of international aid is not "the same" as whatever war, political stance or act of interference you vaguely remember being mad about a decade ago. They can both be bad without both being the same.
I mean, never mind that the Iraq and Afghanistan wars were started by Bush, in turn the proto-Trump that opened the door for the fascist base to encroach on the US right, the fact that those things happened doesn't mean that the new, different thing Trump did that none of his predecessors did isn't worse than what their predecessors were doing. The people that relied on US aid relied on US aid, independently of whatever US tanks were doing thousands of kilometers away.
Trump also reversed policy regarding Israel, incidentally, with the recognition of Jerusalem and moving the embassy. That's the type of false equivalence that led to him being in power in the first place. Because man, I was not on board with Biden's stance on Palestine, and I am sure Harris would have been way too lenient with Israel for my tastes, but if you think that's the same as openly suggesting mass displacement for the sake of turning Gaza into a tourist resort and that it made no diplomatic difference in how fast and what type of ceasefire could have been attained you're out of your mind.
And this is the last I say about it. I have zero patience for this type of willful ignorance in general, but I also have no energy to be angry. Thanks for the reminder that leaving even a tiny crack for US politics, even if it's coming from the left, is way too much. The entire thing is toxic. Malign actor indeed.
You have no values, zero . You do not care about Palestine, you do not care about Venezuela , you do not care about Iraq you do not care about anything except defending when of the two political cults you have in your country
It takes a prodigious amount of entitlement to excuse the other American war criminals and American imperialist history before the war criminal Trump took power
The USA is complicit in those conflicts yo claim to care about and you think the aids that get blocked by the USA allies excuses the sale of weapons or diplomatic protections to those allies
The war started by Bush but was supported by both the democrats cult and the republican cult and continued during the dems
The recognition of Jerusalem is not what is killing Palestinians it is the billions that the USA gives to Israel no matter if it is the democrats and republicans are in power and on the ground Israel effectively control all Gaza , all the west bank and all Jerusalem.
What are those stupid soft words and injecting subjectivity on objective situation. You should say I condemn Biden and trump support for the genocide and I condemn Trump support for the genocide which is the position I support
Democrats support secretly the mass displacement of Palestinians. Again there is no real major difference between democrats and republicans
During Biden 81% of all structures was affected. 90% of schools, 83% of mosques , 60-88% of health, education and water facilities. 68% of farmland damaged, 79% of it in north Gaza and 57% in Rafah . Yet you shamelessly minimize Biden complicity
Like I started you have no values, zero . You do not care about Palestine, you do not care about Venezuela , you do not care about Iraq you do not care about anything except defending when of the two political cults you have in your country
For the record, not an American. Which, you know, I thought was obvious from my post, but hey.
I'd add that there's a difference between caring about outcomes and not having values but, honesly, this is not a conversation worth having.
That's even worse following foreign cults . You are minimizing one of the two genocide enablers while I condemn both genocide Joe and Genocide Trump equally. Again you have no values.
I backed by claims with stats showing that the majority of Gaza damage happened during Biden and I think there is enough change that Gaza won't exists by the end of Trump presidency because he has the exact same policies as Biden
