What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

It's time to face that russia has been at war with NATO for a long time now.

[–] MovingThrowaway@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Not just a long time, that's been the primary purpose of NATO since its inception

The only ones that ended the cold war were the west, Russia was always still considering the west as an enemy.

Incoming hurt tankie feelings…

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait what? I thought tankies were those sleeveless t-shirts you wear when it's too damn hot.

[–] casmael@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

No no it’s like a regular tank, just you know - smaller n stuff

Wow, you really triggered them clowns.

Like flies to honey.

The whole basis of NATO's alarm here is actually hurt feelings, look at what 'hybrid activity' consists of? We literally played "made you look" with a terror alert that expired weeks before the Ukraine-linked Crocus Hall attack, then tried to act like the alert hadn't expired and they were ignoring it. They're complaining that "Russians" (which as Twitter Leaks show can have a wide-ranging definition including Susan Sarandon!) hurt their feelings online.

Yeah cause geopolitics is all about our feelings. Spoken like a true Westoid

Yeeesh, that gives me secondary embarrassment for you 😬

Speaking exclusively to Euronews in September, Estonia's foreign minister Margus Tsahkna warned of Moscow sending migrants across their 300km long border as a form of hybrid attack.

MFW I'm in a comical racism competition and my opponent is a Baltic government official squidward-nervous

I'm sounding the alarm over hostile activity in my tummy, which is realistically a much more immediate threat to nearby life and infrastructure.

Two Volga-Germans were arrested on terrorism charges, because they wanted to attack the Grafenwöhr Training Area. Those useless bastards are licking Vlad's ball sweat living in a 1st class country can shove off to Mother Fucking Russia.
