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.
-
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 10/19
-
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.

Ok, so just because America invaded Iraq means it cant send weapons to Ukraine to protect itself against Russia? Or that Russia is justified in some way in invading Ukraine because America meddled in other countries?
I'd argue that the USA was establishing better foreign relations when Democrats were in charge than when Republicans are. Trying to take over territories from countries such as Panama or Denmark is, in fact, very arrogant and self centered. We don't need or want even more belligerent countries in the world if we want to achieve some semblence of peace in the world.
Nowhere did i say that. But once again it shows how skewed the western perspective is. The west demands other nations not to care if they illegally invade other countries. It uses its (remaining) economic and soft power to threaten anyone who demands an end to western crimes. The US just showed this again with the house deciding to sanction the ICC for enforcing international law against Israel. And that one got strong bipartisan support.
So people that have been trained by the west not to care about wars in the world don't care about this one either. In their perspective it is just another war. And the sooner it ends, the sooner trade relationships can be back to normal, irrespective of who wins.
I mostly agree. I see two reasons, why people prefer Trump. The first is that the hypocrisy is less. Trump acknowledges that the US is only in it for their own interests instead of peddling all these lies about "Democracy" or "Liberty". The second reason is that Trump sees everything as a deal to be made. So if you know what Trump wants, you can make a deal. Compare that with Biden who whined about Netanyahu making him his little bitch but continued to support Israel with all means possible, because he is ideologically committed to Israeli and US imperialism.
So the Dems overall had made more diplomatic relationships, but less honest ones. With Trump it is fewer relationships but there is less pretense around them.
You're lost in the semantics. Outcomes like fewer deaths resulting from foreign policy decisions, including belligerent invasions, matter more than perceived political "moral" calculus.
Which fewer deaths are you talking about? The millions murdered in Vietnam? The millions muredered in Iraq and Iran? Or the hundreds of thousands murdered by US installed fascist dictatorships in Central and South America?
