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.

Well, which is it? I wanna be able to mark my calendar
If this happens, I predict that Trump will make his move in late October. It's the sweet spot for diverting everyone's attention to NATO's response. It also gives a few weeks for Trump to launch a followup attack on Iceland or Ireland if NATO doesn't hit back.
Wow, that is a lot of planning. Like, more than he can do.
It happens when the absolute worst news hits about how he harmed children.
Could be next week for all we know.
An Austrian painter made it look like his country was attacked, so he could justify invading them. We could see something similar this time again.
Hello? It’s Greenland. The sun disappears around then, which will favour NATO forces. The USA military isn’t well trained or equipped for that, compared to Denmark/Canada/Finland/Sweden etc., and oddly has a personnel deficit in terms of training and snowmobiles if it’s fullblown war with NATO’s remnants. Greenland is a special environment, and kills equipment and noobs alike.
They have to try in the late spring, then act like they own it with bluster and bullshit.
As usual, the corpulent US military will be able to occupy the nation easily in a few days, but holding it? While things fall apart at home, and strategic priorities pop up in the pacific and Latin America?
Huh. I suppose that means Greenland in April, and then Canada in October.
Right, but they’d have an even harder time holding Canada, plus it would start a civil war, so not as likely.
Because attacking a friendly allied (Greenland) is just met with a shoulder shrug among the American public…
I think you’re being sarcastic? Sure the end of NATO and subsequent murderous imperialism might trigger a major political rupture in the USA, especially when the economic losses and body counts come in, but there’s a possibility the magafascists can spin things along with just a lot of dissent and lost trade. If civil war doesn’t start over that, pretty sure some states would move to secede over an invasion of Canada.
You don't understand dictatorship, then.
USA, but modelled on Syria/Assad..
THAT can go on for a LONG time..

17% of US citizens apparently are of the opinion that the US should take Canada, according to another story..
68 million, -ish, US citizens, are of that opinion?
It's only a matter of time, then.
