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 format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post 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] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

If aligning oneself with dictators is enough to make one a Nazi, then all of Europe must be doing Sieg Heils three times a day. I have no love for America, but the holier than thou moral outrage doesn't survive a reading of 21st century EU foreign policy.
What's EU's 21st century foreign policy?
Okay on second thoughts "EU" wasn't the best way to put that. Let me rephrase: I have no love for America, but the holier than thou moral outrage doesn't survive a reading of 21st century EU member states' foreign policy (because the EU's foreign policy tends to be pretty limited, though no less despicable). With that in mind, here's your answer:
Well for the most part whatever America is doing, which means backing American escapades in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Libya (though this one was more of a mutual collaboration), Yemen, etc off the top of my head. European countries also seem to generally have no problem with selling weapons and providing aid to brutal Middle Eastern dictators, leading to European weaponry reaching RSF hands. If you specifically want EU stuff, you have fishing in West Africa and of course the EU has a trade agreement with Israel.
NoneOfYour is probably talking about the humanitarian aid spent on war torn dictatorial countries like paying for healthcare, food, education. Often caused by US Russian proxy wars.
Or about France and UK aiding the US in their war in Irak, Or of Palestine by arguably more EU countries backing although, often innocently advertised, defence only.
you think THAT'S the only reason americans are nazis? yeah ok buddy.
That's the reason you gave, at least. If you have something better (hopefully something that actually engages with the meaning of the word "Nazi") I'm all ears.
well gee lets see public executions, rounding up people via a gestapo, killing innocent protestors, threatening other nations soveringty, and that's just off the top of my head.
Oh the Trump regime and its supporters are definitely fascist, but as for everyone else in America not stopping fascism doesn't make one fascist; it makes one complicit (which I do agree a majority of non-fascist Americans are).
