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.

VP guyliner says that the US administration is now facing the question of how to help Russia and Ukraine "find some middle ground here"
It's that "middle ground" where Russia gets half of Ukraine's territory and the US gets all of their mineral rights?
Typical Trump move, mugging a rape victim.

Molotov and Ribbentrop nod in approval.
That quote could've ended seven words earlier and been just as accurate.
I still don't get why the media is covering this guy and his questionable statements. I'm starting to think the media is somewhat complicit in shaping the new world order dystopia.
He's the US VP.
I'd love if this was a joke.
🤯
They hacked about until they stumbled upon the major vulnerabilities of open societies, rule of law, democracy, 24-hour newscycles and social media.
I'm tempted to comment his statement with "yes, captain Obvious".
It could have only ended if they had: a) not obstructed Biden, b) fully backed the measures Biden took, c) continued with measures of their own of equal weight, and d) threatened to double down with more measures really soon.
Instead, they set up their "art of the deal" clown and pony show (where an angry clown fails to jump over a beaten down pony).
So far, Putin has taken it as confirmation and encouragement. If they grow up super fast (yea, sure they will...) this might still be possible to change.
But realistically, I think they won't grow up - this is more likely just a brief flash of partial sanity. At this stage, other people will have to do the job while the US provides a steady supply of tragic humor.
This is not about growing up. They're Putin's stooges and when he says jump, they ask how high. Growing up won't change that.
Day one.
-Trump
PS fuck you fascists
He obviously meant day one of his 2028 presidency
Yet we're going to just take half of their resources anyway? Sounds fair.
Vance is a lying sack of festering donkey cocks.
Yeah,
Because Putin still has Trump bent over because he has incriminating shit on him, and he also lets Trump think he has a seat at the grown-up's table
Trump wants to be Putin. Putin will always have Trump in his pocket so long as Trump worships him, which he will always do.
I think it's really weird that people think Trump is being blackmailed rather than he's just an autocrat who supports other dictators.
Why not both?
Trump wants to hurt people
He hates anyone who isn't white, and he's enthusiastic about "cleaning up the streets"
His racism is well documented and goes back a long way
Oh, and he wants to fuck his daughter
At least, the one whose name he has managed to remember...
He also has contempt for anyone who isn't rich.
Everyone thinks that the kompromat Putin has is something like Trump getting fisted or a golden shower party.
I like to think it's Trump weeping about how his daddy never loved him, or something else that no one but a psychopath would be ashamed of.
Oh yeah
Putin has a hold on him because Trump wants to be "manly" like him
Nothing more
He is a bully, and the only thing that inspires a bully is a bigger bully
It's lost on him that Putin holds him in the same contempt that he himself holds those who he has bullied into submission
Because he's fucking stupid.
He is probably the most stupid person in politics at a global scale, but he is useful to those who actually tug on the strings of power, and he appeals to enough stupid yanks (and there's no shortage of stupidity in 'Murica...) with his hate and bluster to be effective
I hope that he gets a taste of the harm he has done throughout his life
All of it.
There's an old cartoon that sums up Trump in my mind. Man is being lead to the gallows. Dozens of cops are holding back the crowd that wants to tear him apart. "Oh, all right. I'll apologize."
No matter what happens to him, he'll never admit that he did anything wrong.
He can't
Because he's a malignant narcissist
In his mind, he has never done a single thing wrong
Anything that has gone awry is the fault of someone else
He's a toddler in the body of a sad, fat old rapist
Because Putin still has Trump bent over because he has incriminating shit on him, and he also lets Trump think he has a seat at the grown-up’s table
Stop. Giving. Trump. So. Much. Credit.
I'm not saying Putin doesn't have kompromat on Trump. Hell, he probably does! But it doesn't fucking matter because Trump is so inherently irredeemably evil all on his own that he'd be doing exactly the same shit anyway!
By suggesting that Trump was coerced you are whitewashing Trump's evil. Stop it!
Oh, he was demonstrably horrible long ago
The "Central Park Five" should have disqualified him, but Americans are stupid and hateful as a society, so there is probably no depth to which they will not sink
This should have ended it
But 'Murica has no lower depth. There is nothing too disgraceful, too awful, too hateful
There is no bottom. There is no low to which you will not sink, and then go deeper
Nah, he doesn't need to blackmail HitlerPig, he just needs to pay him. HitlerPig would rape and murder his own mother for a million bucks. Imagine what he would do if Putin offered him a billion dollars? Putin could easily do that, and it would be the best billion dollars Russia ever spent.
He can even just promise to pay him.
Trump is simply proof of how stupid people are.
James Donald Bowman is a disgrace of a human being
And I will deadname him in every thread there is.
Vance also states, "It hasn't been 24 hours yet. I mean, the President is a busy guy. He only works on this a minute here, a minute there." /s
Edit: forgot the /s
Yet spends hours a day vomiting his verbal diarrhea on his bullshit social netwrok day after day...
What a visionary
This war could have been ended a few years ago had Europe/US the balls, but unfortunately.
The “Oracle of America” has spoken.
Sometimes the only way to fuck a couch is to give half the couch away to somebody else to fuck, sometimes it is a long road to getting to fuck your couch.
It's hard to get two sides to come to an agreement on something when one side is totally irrational.
Only time Vance is right.
Why does his face look so weird in this photo?
Because he's weird and ugly, and that shows through physically
His boss has hamster hands, and Vance has a hamster face.
Why does his face look so weird ~~in this photo~~?
FTFY
It looks that way because of the way it is.
Did we forget to say thank you or something.
Oh, damn. He's going against Trump's statements here, so Trump is certainly asking someone to google how he can fire the VP.
Could lead for some funny interactions soon
