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.

Babe wake up, abrahamic religion is fighting again.

He’s not, but the fundamentalist Christians have decided he’s their hero.
Donald Trump: "Enemy of God"

'Anointed by God': The Christians who see Trump as their saviour
This timeline.
Yeah, no shit. I'm with Iran on this one.
It's weird when two horrible entities in the world hate each other. Is it popcorn time?
Only in the sense that all our heads will start to pop like popcorn when the nukes start flying.
Iran doesn't have nukes and their strategy is quite defensive, rather than aggressive. If there is Nukes flying Israel would toss them first and the US would follow in, because they can't be not throwing bigger bombs than Israel.
Trump: Putting the "fat" in "fatwa" since 1946.

Just how long have you been waiting to use this one?
Hey. If it happens you won't hear me complain.
He needs to go. The who how and why doesn't matter so long as he's gone. That's a win for the entire human race.
I was gonna say that it would only be unfortunate due to giving them a reason to attack Iran, but history has shown us that doesn't matter. We'll do that regardless. If we dont have a reason we've been happy to just make one up.
At this point its really just a matter of not wanting to actually fight America on the battlefield.
I don’t necessarily vibe with the processes to reach the declaration nor do I reflexively support the orator, but I can’t say I disagree
Oh please. And what are you gonna do about it? Dare you. Double dog dare you!
I mean, really lol go ahead
Well, Trump is an insult to anyone with more than one functioning brain cell
He is the enemy of literally everyone, so, I guess God is also on that list 😂
Here's a comprehensive list why killing the orange Shitgibbon is a bad idea:

Let's just hope that if anything ever happens, the event takes large parts of the succession line with it.
More like enemy of men, both of youse
It's unclear how Khamenei will navigate the crisis his regime faces but as his credibility collapses
Propaganda. How is his credibility collapsing?
Without checking the context, Iran and their proxies got hit a bunch and turned the other cheek, so in the game theoretic sense, yes, none of their threats will be credible now.
The conventional smart move would have been to start gradually blowing Isreali and American stuff up the moment Hazbollah was attacked. It sounds they might actually have some kind of twisted, theocratic idealism that got in the way of that.
Feels like deja vu to when Bin Laden issues a jihad against the US, but this time it is much more personal - Trump got called out.
Oh he's an enemy to far more than just some imaginary friend.
As much as I'd like to see this sadistic shitbag removed from society anyway possible, it would be preferable to see him in jail or let the Big Macs take care of him. If an assassination is tied to Iran, that can't be good for anyone.
