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.

It's truly remarkable how badly this war is going for the US.
Competency is woke. This is the new leathal maga army. That's not afraid to fuck up badly, as long as it felt right. And never accept responsibility or consequences. Responsibility and consequences are woke too.
Vibe warring.
Vibe Governing.
For the Greater Israel to become a superpower, not only does the Persian empire have to fall, but the American empire does as well.
Greater Israel is fully predicated on the US backstopping its existence, both politically and militarily.
Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, and now I guess Syria all align with Israel due to an enormous American boot on their collective necks. As soon as that weight is seen to lift up, you're going to get a full blown Congolese War between the various tin pot dictators and aristocratic despots.
Israelis simply don't have the manpower to control more territory. Their plans to settle the West Bank and Gaza are heavily predicated on damned near every Jew left on earth moving into their domain. And even then - so many of the Israel Jews hate one another, hate their Christian neighbors, hate their Arab co-conspirators, and hate their European financiers. This isn't sustainable in any material way. Not without the world's largest economy propping them up.
Israel only continues to exist because of US backing. If the US is unable to continue to supply Israel with money, arms, ammunition and to use it's veto in the UN against any action the UN wants to take against Israel then Israel is done.
Fortunately for Israel, they own every branch of the US government, multiple three letter agencies, old school media, and new school media in the US, comedy(except for very few comedians) and music record labels throughout the US.
Going to enjoy reading this article every week for the next 20 years.
