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. 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 10/19
-
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 deeply hope none of this happens. But if it does I hope the cartels destroy the invading US forces.
You think cartels are better than the usa? Lol
More or less as evil as each other
Then you haven't read anything about cartels.
It would be another Vietnam.. the cartels curry favour with locals, so would likely have the general civilian population on their side and helping them.
I hope it never happens either, at least not under the current administration.
but boy do I have news for you...
there won't be an invading army. only artillery and drones.
the cartel is nothing compared to the horror shit show from the last 25 years. the army won't even need to use 1/10% of its full capabilities.
The US is shit at fighting guerilla armies despite exclusively doing so for the last 60 years. You make the mistake of invading Mexico, shit on the US side starts blowing up. Mexico won't assist the US, and if they start really sanctioning the US that's pretty much it for motor vehicles in the military. If China takes the opportunity to then sanction the US that's it for military drones and quite a lot of the air force.
Logistics and manufacturing wins engagements and wars, and other countries control both in the US.
give me an example of an army that isn't shit fighting against guerilla warfare.
Is that supposed to be a rebuttal against his point?
their point is?
I thought it was just some general ramblings tbh.
Bruh, if you can't be bothered to read, why are you replying? No wonder your reply made no sense.
Your initial comment seems to imply that it won't be a problem for the US army to fight against the cartel, which the other guy was arguing against by giving examples of how bad their performance has been against guerilla fighters.
You replied by asking him which army isn't bad at fighting guerilla warfare? His point wasn't that the US army is the only one bad at fighting guerilla warfare. Your rebuttal even goes against your original point that the US won't have trouble with fighting the cartel, so it doesn't even work as a supporting argument for your own point.
low quality bait, practically rotten tbh.
Yeah, you've proven that you have trouble with reading, got it. I won't bother reading your other comments, next time.
There is nothing preventing these cartels from retaliating in kind.
Drones are not difficult to source or build, and these orgs have weapons, manpower and 100s of billions of dollars.
They have nowhere near the arsenal of the US military, but this isn't an 800lb guerilla vs a toddler. This is an 800lb guerilla vs a 100lb guerilla. That small guerilla is still going to wreck unimaginable havoc in the US if the two fight.
Broooo have I got news for you. .. the cartels already operate in the USA and do so quite unobstructed. They will kidnap, torture and kill, then release the tiktok.
And then once the trump cronies and the unending greed get a little taste of the blood money, it fucking over.
you're absolutely correct. the cartel inflicts terror into their victims.
the US military industrial complex thrives on terror and killing.
my money is on the US military to outlast the cartels and they would be hit weeks before they're ready.
they're used to dealing with feds and agents.
soldiers aren't going to arrest you. they're deployed to kill you.
