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.

The American empire is on the verge of collapse. It won't be missed.
Well. When you next need pineapple and ham pizza dont come crying to the US, because none will be forthcoming.
The entire world will have to rebuild. Not sure why everyone wants the US to be as bad as Russia.
Nobody wants it except republicans, but Americans are hell bent on letting republicans destroy their country.
Seems to me that many/most Americans are lulled into a stupor by their lifestyles. They will complain right up until the nearest mcdonalds might shut down or they loose access to their favorite breakfast cereal, or gas goes up 25 cents a gallon. Then its a national emergency and we're willing to do human sacrifice to get back to normal.
Nobody wanted it. It's the Americans who stupidly and ignorantly chose that path without even thinking they did.
To be fair, Trumpstein and gang had multiple opportunities to be arrested for child sex trafficking in other countries too. No one puts criminals where they belong, eventually they will end up where they don't belong.
These days I feel like its not Russia vs USA, its Russia & USA vs China.
Personally I'm all-in on the EU though.
I'm not saying we're competing, I'm saying we don't want to compete for the bottom and be like russia. They're really hurting right now.
Gotcha, agreed.
Why do you think everyone wants the US to be bad? Let alone as bad as Russia?
Unfortunately for almost everyone, in many ways, the US is already worse than Russia.
I want the US to support the rule of law, negotiate with honesty for mutual benefit, respect human rights, reform its political system to achieve democracy internally and stop invading, threatening to invade or otherwise interfering in the affairs of sovereign nations. But the US is what it is.
Will it? The trade relations with US will not disappear suddenly. US will still import/export whatever they can and the rest of the world will reorganize slowly. New military alliances will be forged and this will also be a gradual process. US will be left isolated, the world will move on. The world will see some changes but it will not be destroyed.
How can Europe maintain itself without aligning with even worse countries?
They will invest heavily in defense to become independent from US. It will take 5-10 years but it's doable.
They will forge new relations with Canada, UK, South America, India and Africa.
They will expand and invite new members like Ukraine, Moldavia and the Balkans.
Can't happen fast enough.
