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.

No, the US is just pressuring all of its vassals into disinvestment from China to secure its own power. That's it.
https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/10/13/dutch-government-takes-control-of-chinese-owned-chipmaker-nexperia.html
You claim these are US vassal, but then you also said to secure their power. You don't secure your power with your vassal if you're already "own" those state.
The US has to constantly reinforce its control over its vassals or they will start thinking about independence.
The US is yanking Europe's leash to keep them from getting ideas.
Your obsession of US is next level.
It's the global hegemon? The US rules the world, that's why the UN is powerless to stop a genocide.
And the UN is powerless to stop myanmar war and Afghanistan/pakistan conflict and Russia invasion of Ukraine as well, do you even understand how UN works? And the topic doesn't contain US at all, no one want to hear about your obsession on US.
The genocide is the tip of the iceberg, the US lurks in the background of all current events. The US is forcing Europe to do austerity to pay for war with Ukraine and to buy US gas, Europe is basically being turned into an export colony for the US and so they aren't allowed to trade with China. The dollar is the global reserve currency!
Do you just think the aanti-China sentiment in Europe is happening all on its own? You can't just ignore the elephant in the room.
Yes the elephant in the room is someone currently trying to convince me there's a secret illuminati that control the world behind everyone's back and POTUS is a mecha-lizard with psychic ability that somehow also control Putin and Xi.
Also how many time you want to gymnast out of the topic you don't understand? First it's this news, then the UN, then the world. If you're not tired of that much mental gymnastic, i'm tired and bored of it.
It's fascinating that you think his has nothing to do with the trade war with China. Just a coincidence.
This shit isn't even secret! It's out in the fucking open that Trump is pressuring allies against China!
Did i say that? Or is that your strawman because of your obsession that no one else other than the tankie share?
But anyway, i'm done playing conspiracy theory, have better thing to do.
