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.

WHEN the US of A's Civil War Part2 begins, it'll be simultaneous with the US's waging war against Canada.
So, it'll be saving Canada's life, by mitigating the US's effectiveness..
and with the US waging war against Canada ( & Mexico, Panama, etc.. ), Putin will be ( with China's & Saudi Arabia's complete backing ) waging war against the EU/rest-of-NATO.
Trump's a Putin-ally, not a NATO, & that's been true since the 1980's.
the NATO bill they've now got drafted in the US, in removing the US from NATO isn't a spur-of-the-moment thing: its roots go back to the Kremlin's investment in Trump, last-century..
IF by "taking a side" you mean cheering on, from the sidelines, sure, NATO'll take a side..
however, if by "taking a side" you mean invading, .. get real.
WHEN the US Constitution is rendered completely-irrelevant ( 2028, as that's when the required election would threaten Trump's kinghood ) by wars against ALL neighbors, & then the CCP can carve-up Asia, & MBS can gain possession of the entire Middle-East, all of Africa, etc.. ( I don't know who gets South America, but it isn't the West: China's the one who's been investing in it, & the oligarchs/far-right have been investing in highjacking it, so it's a tossup between them, isn't it? .. oh, "Israel" won't exist much past 2028: Hamas's brilliant unconscious strategy was to use the life of the Palestinian people as bait, to get "Israel" to display its narcissistic/machiavellian/psychopathic/nihilistic/sadistic/systemically-dishonest/prejudice ( all dimensions that also express through other prejudice-ideologies, including islamism, white-supremacism, etc.. ) & once the Muslim world no longer cared if they survived the fight, that ANNIHILATING "Israel" is REQUIRED.. then suddenly "Israel" no-longer has any military "deterrent", do they? "Deterrent" REQUIRES that opponents be deterred, right? Making them into unhesitating martyrs isn't "deterring" them, is it? "Israel" is sooo completely prejudice-polarized that it isn't competent to perceive that concept, apparently. So, once that tipping-point is crossed, then "Israel" gets annihilated, exactly as the Christian prophecy declared ( Matt 24, iirc ) )
WHEN the US Constitution is rendered completely-irrelevant, THEN.. TrueNATO'll have sooo many problems of its own, that the US of A will have to wage war on all its neighbors WHILE exterminating civil-rights, leftists, Christians who're loyal to LivingSpirit, people of all other religions who're loyal to LivingSpirit, LivingSpirit itself, if they can figure out how, etc..
it'll simply be nazism, all over again.
Only the appearances will be different.
Will they even have giant murder-factories, as the nazis had over 1000 of?
probably..
A more important question, for the survivors will be: as soon as Putin & Trump drop ( they are old: this will happen to them ), then .. will the CCP's empire step up to be rampaging the remnant of the West?
The correct answer is yes, they will.
Fundamentally, humankind "can't" tolerate civil-rights to rule over authority, so EVERY kind of authoritarianism is going to try breaking civil-rights from our world, completely.
White supremacism, then CCP authoritarianism.. then another, then another.. until either humankind's underlying-nature is force-changed, XOR until humankind's extinguished..
Some would say that the US of A has been providing aid to the world, all along!
Yes, simultanously with CIA treachery..
As is obvious, ALL our countries have been playing that kind of game!
Some would say that the world, endlessly-helped by the US of A, owes the US of A help in surviving its Civil War Part2..
After all the treachery that the US has enforced so as to prevent civil-rights from having real leverage in the world..
( here's 1: Afghanistan.
Obama let it slip that there was immense mineral-wealth there..
so, how come the US of A hadn't helped the Afghani people get a functioning government & economy built on that, instead of having opium remain the spine of the Afghani economy??
Colonialism.
Sad, or what?
Then I found out that it was Carter who obliterated the good government in Afghanistan, so as to prevent it from interfering with the US's dominion-game..
& these are 2 of the "good guys"?? )
Humankind has NO right to claim, in G-D's face, that it has "done the right thing", at any scale, consistently.
Now humankind has to sort itself out.
The US of A has to sort itself out.
If the balance-of-power means that evil wins, then .. then humankind needs force-extinguishment, for the Solar-systems, or/and the Galaxy's sake.
Our factionalism will do the enforcing: no need for any "intervention", but it'll be humankind's planet-scale civil-war.
& deathmatch.
War of attrition.
Either 1 kind survives, or none do.
That is the proper framing, for the entire rest of this century.
The US is just 1 little set-of-battles, not anywhere-near the whole thing of this century's "force cleaning-up of humankind".
The US won't be a player in the mid 2030's: Trump's making certain of that.
