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.
- Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.
-
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 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.

Meanwhile trump has reaffirmed his calls to annex greenland: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2026/01/04/greenland-trump-venezuela/88018306007/
Trump is everything bad about a psychopath, sociopath and narcissist.
Rolled up in what we call malignant narcissist. He has complete disregard for other people, and he has absolutely no conscience, and he expects to be worshiped.
Fuck Americans for making him president twice.
Just the way he spoke about watching it happening live and comparing it to a good TV show says a lot about his mental state.
It's why I disowned my family. I am so bitter about it
Sorry to hear you lost your family to a cult.
In Denmark we have 12 parties in parliament, and none of them are as bad as the Republicans. Because none of them would remove healthcare for all.
I don't think most Americans really understand how extreme the Republicans are, even without Trump!
USA has gone mad as a society, and see the selfishness of rich Republicans as an expression of freedom.
It is not all Americans that are mad, but like when a person has terminal cancer, it is not all cells in the body that are cancerous, but it's enough to make the cancer terminal.
USA still has good people and even remarkable people, but unfortunately they are a minority.
Thanks for noticing. We're suffering in anxiety over here. People are getting depressed. There are protests everywhere., but things still look hopeless.
Right now it's obvious that they are trying to provoke people into shooting at ICE agents so that Trump has an excuse to cancel midterm elections. They know that if the elections happen, every one of them are going to prison. Or you'd think so. Our dem party is our best chance and they are paid for by Israel too.
There are a shit ton of armed people here. The majority of guns are owned by those who voted for Trump. Most liberal people just don't have them. A civil war here wouldn't be a war at all. More like a slaughter.
Goddam the debates I have had, where people claim that is impossible, because the elections are run by the states.
I suspect we may see if it's possible or not, because Trump and the administration are completely unhinged.
Unless enough of the people that voted for Trump switch sides or stay at home because they can see things have gone to far.
Nazi Germany only fell because they were defeated from the outside, that is not possible with USA. So it's 100% up to the American people.
I hope you will have more political allies soon. At least the popularity of Trump has declined a lot since the election.
Even taking Maduro didn't help on that, and such things traditionally gains the administration and president a lot of support at least for a while. But for Trump it failed completely to gain him any popularity.
As a Dane whose brother works in Nuuk 2-4 months a year, I'm not a fan of those plans, actually. I'd rather he not, tbh.
Jeg er vild med dit brugernavn, broder
Tak 😁
I don't think he realises that Greenland is part of Denmark and therefore part of NATO. I don't think they realise that any attack on Greenland would invoke article 5.
The only people that mentioned taking Greenland with military force are those complete idiots who know absolutely nothing about them being part of NATO.
Their only hope can be for the people of Greenland to have a referendum to leave Denmark and join the USA. But they have already expressed multiple times that they are not interested in joining the USA.
All this is right now is just empty talk seeking popularity points.
So unless America wants to leave NATO and start a war with it, it's not gonna happen.
I mean is there any provision if one nato country attacks another then what happens? realistically I dont think even united europe could do much to US militarily, until they all sanction them heavily.
Yep, it's all kinds of fucked up. Europe certainly can't afford to fight both the USA and Russia.
I'm absolutely certain if the EU went to war with the USA, Russia would take advantage and invade all the eastern Europe, while the USA is attacking the west.
The most that could happen is throwing out the USA from NATO.
Don't worry, he won't let them vote!
