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.

*'Go get your own oil!' Trump tells UK the US won't 'help you anymore' in latest furious rant
What a boorish sack of shit, Jesus Christ, dealing with that man on a daily basis must be fucking exhausting.
dealing with that man on a daily basis must be fucking exhausting.
Yes, but only for people with functioning brains
hey, I'm a certified idiot and even I can't take any more of this! I have these primal instincts of trying to stay alive and reproduce, and I find that my chances at both are highly correlated with being decent to the other members of my race (humans, I mean). No brain, no problem!
... it's a sliding scale
You and I are likely on the same category, yet compared to MAGA, we are basically geniuses
Trump: "Go to the strait and just take it" Spain: "OK." Trump: "WAIT NO NOT LIKE THAT"
So the US has more naval power than the whole of Europe together, and they need help fixing the mess they started?
TACO
Good. Trump's "helping" hand is covered in blood and shit.
I’m so tired
And just like with Venezuela the Oil Motive for war becomes obvious. Greedy old dumbass dinosaurs still think oil is worth killing for instead of working on the many alternatives that we have already available.
I broke it, you fix it.
Lol grandpa is triggering himself. What a stable genius
Trump started this shit and he should finish it (but sadly, he cannot).
He should cut his losses and go cry in a corner.
Think that's what he's doing. Though, Trump's version of "cry" is actually "blame everyone else, sulk, and act like he's on the high road". It takes the maturity of an infant to actually cry, Trump can't even manage that
Or more likely lash out like a drowning man, grab anybody that comes too close and try to climb out on their backs in a wild panic while pushing the wannabe rescuer below the waves. Most know this and stay away.
I would also accept crying his losses and cutting himself in a corner (though a trial for treason and a public hanging would be ideal)
He should absolutely not finish it.
WTF kind of idea is that? He started killing random people so he must kill all of them?
killing random people so he must kill all of them?
I think OP meant pulling out. You know, like Fred Trump should've done.
I'm no mapologist, but getting oil from the straight of Hormuz to the UK seems like an incredibly long way around. Surely the UK gets their oil from elsewhere?
In a way it doesn't matter who gets their oil from where.
Whoever was getting oil from Hormuz, is now getting it from wherever the UK was.
Yeah, that's a problem for sure. But also means that securing Hormuz doesn't solve anything, because tomorrow the pedo will invade some other oil critical country. Can't exactly plan around a lunatic.
That's the correct speech. He's preparing to abandon Israel alone at the war.
Israel will do a false flag “Iranian” terrorist attack, or release more Epstein files before they let him just walk away.
But we have plenty of oil. Middle Eastern oil accounts for barely 2%.
Number 2, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just TAKE IT,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social.
I mean, same should be said about Trump's son.
“We have plenty” ~~that we stole from Venezuela~~
