A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Yeah no wonder. The administration he's part of is behaving unconstitutionally, so it's only logical he would condemn the Office for the Protection of the Constitution in other countries for doing its job. Can't have that if you want to erode the democratic basic order.
Who cares what Reek has to say
I am sorry I can't hear the tiny little fascist man talking can someone tell me what he is saying his voice is too quiet and squeaky.
For real though, I just feel bad for Micro Rubio, when you make it all the way to the top and everyone still thinks you are a cowardly fascist loser it has to make it painfully obvious how worthless you are.
I think the grand plan is to find somebody who messes up Europe from the inside, so that Americans don't notice the difference too much.
They're not happy with just Hungary, it seems
Always has been.
Surprised fascist claims anti fascists are wrong and should stop fighting fascism. More news at 11.
lol stfu Rubio. They are a right wing extremist group. Feel free to read the damning evidence over 1000(!!!) pages
Who the fuck is Rubio and why should anyone care what he has to say about anything? It says he’s the us Secretary of State in the us. Meaning he’s about as unqualified to speak up about it as my pup.
Fuck these dumb idiots who can’t understand the difference between politics and terrorism.
He is the secretary of state, Acting Archivist for the National Archives, Interim leader of USAID and most recently National Security Advisor.
Basically he's 47 little bitch boy for any job he doesn't care about enough to install one of his white supremacist stooges. Marco is his little dancing monkey, sent to do the jobs he doesn't think are important.
well that just validates this decision
Marco Rubio can eat the peanuts out of my shit.
With best regards from a hopefully soon fascist-free Germany.
Alternate headline: "Demagogue objects to objective reality"
I was going to say something like "I liked the USA better when it had no clue about foreign politics" but then I realised that maybe that's just because we weren't the target before. Is Europe now part of the USA's definition of Middle East?
The US actually has an ally (1) in the Middle East, unlike Europe at this point.
Have Israel EVER gone to war with the USA? Every NATO country has stood by the USA as an ally, but Israel is only ever there to put their hands out. They are Takers, not Givers. I wouldn't think of them as allies.
They did try and sink one of our intel ships because they claim they thought it was an Egyptian horse transport.
I mean they are useful in keeping the Region in perpetual war and instability so that the US could divide and conquer for resources more easily. But latest since the US is selling more oil than it is buying Israel is mostly a liability. Unless the goal is to murder as many brown people as possible. For that it is the best, although this will not benefit the US as a nation or the people of the US.
