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. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
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. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefixCountry 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.

US Congress is entrenching the Israeli/US relationship so deep in America’s own defence industrial base that it’s impossible to root it out

The IDF is a genocide masquerading as a professional military, fuck this.

Well let’s not forget the two big brothers guaranteeing that genocide. I want the USA to answer for enabling and encouraging genocide.

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 11 points 2 months ago

I want Europe and especially Germany to answer as well.

The UK just banned Hasan Piker for daring to speak about the Palestinian Genocide, I expect far more from all powers involved, this genocide is a product of far more than the US though the US is at the center of complicity.

So, what is in this for the US?

They’re losing their Arab state alliances, they’re locked in a war that Israel has now publicly stated they won’t allow the US end, they’ve expended their missile defences to critically low levels, they’ve allowed Chinese AA technology to verify it can shoot down the new F35, and they’re pushing away all their core allies.

I’m lost. What’s the benefit here?

The benefit is that the politicians get richer.

Oh wait did you mean what's in it for the regular everyday people? Nothing, as always.

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

Haha, the point isn’t to benefit the US, but to benefit the politicians’ pocketbooks.

Probably has something to do with a majority of congressmembers not wanting to lose their AIPAC funding or have their pee tapes released...

The feudalist tech lords want the US carved up into city states, they will pay to legislate global instability that sews discord at home, its win win for them, that’s all that’s at play.

US moving to officially become a vassal state of Israel?

With neither primary political party to stop it. We are cooked

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 5 points 2 months ago

Haha this is so fucking embarrassing as a US citizen.

How many foreign governments now?

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 months ago

What the fuck. Please tell me this is fake.
