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.

vance is a pathological liar. quite obvious just look at how often he makes these trivially refuted lies.
If by “this” he means the Trump Administration; then YES we are suffering worse than they are. So tired of their president and the global geopolitical/economic harm he has done.
because they had “focused on a lot of green energy scams and they’re hurting a lot more than we are.”
More green energy focus would have meant hurting a lot less, although last 2-3 years has seen EU fossil electricity drop 10% each year. The first shock to EU energy prices was supporting US war on Russia, including the sabotage of Nordstream. LNG from the US is very expensive, and produces more emissions than local coal.
A new spike from US/Israel current contempt for the world is definitely US extortion's fault, and not "too much green energy" fault. Current NG prices in Europe make just the fuel cost of NG electricity between 12c-24c/kwh (depending on peaker vs expensive plant)
EU member state incompetence has led to emergency measures of cutting fuel taxes (please use more fuel to drive price higher) instead of massive solar orders and emergency projects.
Oh, we're just getting started.
Are you Hillbilly Ugly? Try Maybelline.
Yup because that's the bar we want set.
Other countries suffer more than us. Great job /s
I'm sure Norway is crying all the way to the bank. It's hard work hauling all that oil and fertilizer money.
I kind of suspect this is the entire point of this conflict. The US is not immune to global oil supply disruptions, but we are a net exporter now, while China relies very heavily on foreign imports. I would not be at all surprised if this was a way to put the hurt on China and the rest of the world, while blaming Iran for it. Of course Epstein distraction too, but not only that.
China will not be impacted that much as you think. China is much more oil independent than before. Unlike the US, China invests heavily in green energy and nuclear energy. The only country that is behind in all of this, it's the US.
did he say thank you to the allies, the guy who reaped the popes soul.
Our boi here, bless his heart, ‘Ol Jaydee can actually hide his own Easter eggs. It keeps him busy while the grownups are napping off Sunday dinner.
why would this be good
and why would green energy lead to this result
"allies"
Judging from the stock markets, he is right. Swedish industry stocks are down 10-15% the last month. Without steady oil, it will be a big problem for those companies i guess.
