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.

Trump will now threaten to take over Venezuela, hit Norway with 300% trade tariffs, and argue that the Nobel Prize means nothing at all whilst simultaneously saying its committee is a fraud and he actually won it.
He'll ask to see it and then just steal it
The best predictor for future behaviour is past behaviour
Wait... which award did he steal?

Summarised context. Calling it stealing might be a bit much but still actions typical of Trump.

Trumps words imply they told him he could keep it. He could be lying as always, or FIFA gave it to him no diff to the million other bribes capitalists have gifted the shit king... neither would surprise me.
Both are pieces of shit, so either way it's criminals scratching each other's backs.
I'm more worried he'll take it out on Palestine via the ceasfire, because he's a petty bitch.
Like Israel would ever honor a cease fire regardless of what Trump did.
“Actually Bibi just keep killing them, what’s the point anymore?”
Bibi: No change in plans, then?
Bookmarked! I want to see how accurate this becomes. That's all he wanted so he can one up Obama.
And will also say that he's never heard of this Alfred Nobel guy.

@gigachad Ok, I will remind you on Monday Oct 20, 2025 at 10:35 AM UTC.
There's a complication for Trump. He hates Maduro. The US in general (by which I mean administrations of both major political parties) wants him out. Machado is the major candidate of the opposition to Maduro. She also would give away Venezuela's oil reserves, which the US definitely wants.
So the Nobel committee just awarded the prize to someone who 1) is hardly a voice for peace, and 2) Trump generally needs to support. Now, #2 is based on Trump not being a shortsighted idiot, and we all know how that works out.
