A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

"Each act, each occasion, is worse than the last, but only a little worse. You wait for the next and the next. You wait for one great shocking occasion, thinking that others, when such a shock comes, will join with you in resisting somehow." - German Professor on the Nazi dictatorship (Milton Meyer, They Thought They Were Free)
"United States starts war with one of its closest allies"
The US in action
Gangster starts war with some of its closest colleagues
"Hitting land"? I believe that's what's called "bombing".
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has expressed opposition to this move.
No shit. People tend not to like you bombing and invading their countries. Not that the USA has ever cared.
"Mexican land form makes dangerous terrorist attack on proud American munitions."
Bombs Iran, Syria, Nigeria, Venezuela
...
threatens Greenland, Denmark, UK, Cuba, Mexico, Colombia, Canada
...
anyone I'm missing? It's going to be fun to watch them try to fight the whole world in the name of an orange turd.
I always remember that Elon Musk, when he was close to Trump, threatened the UK with invasion.
As far as I'm aware, the Trump regime never disavowed those statements.
Didn't the regime also threathen Panama?
Gaza
Yemen
He's threatening states in the US
“Drug Cartels”
So as I suspected, trump was actually involved in sex trafficking of minors, and as another distraction, he will attack Mexico. The full Epstein files must be released. Impeach, remove, convict!
The redactions are not intended to protect the victims. Every redaction protects him.
Fuck this piece of shit “administration” and every cunt that voted for it
The US now revisiting classic lost wars. Maybe the cartels will burn down the White House this time.
I mean it's already 1/4 demolished as it is
I mean, Canada's closer...and we kinda have a habit of doing that already...
Britain did that too - we should team up for a threequel!
It's a date!
Britain did that too - we should team up for a threequel!
When the cartels win, can we give back Texas?
yassss!
Sounds an awful lot like decaring war on Mexico...
Will Canada's Conservatives celebrate this one too? Will they celebrate when he attacks Canada? I bet the answers are yes and yes.
I fully expect, when Trump invades Canada, to see PP tweet "yes Daddy" while Carney will tweet "this is unfortunate and we continue to work with our allies on better solutions"
Both sides are fucked but only one of them is full on retard. As a sane voter it's frustrating.
First Austria then Checkoslovakia, Lithuania, and finally Poland.
Do you want a price on your head? Because that’s how you get someone to start picking off politicians.
Fingers crossed
If this happens I hope this is the straw that broke the camel’s back
Absolutely not, this camel can take a lot more of these.
Those Epstein files must really burn!
When the CIA ran cartels have too much competition
Mexican president should tell their citizens they have immunity from murdering u.s invaders . Let's see how this plays out.
So we are going to be fighting the CIA or what?
Isn't that why they wanted the wall built in the first place. Ironic.
Remember the Alamo?
The bad guys were also the US.
The camel's back is vibranium
And Mexico has oil.
What a ko-inky-dink.
