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.
-
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.

I notice the lack of ‘he’s not doing enough’ and ‘he’ll never do enough’ crowd here.
Right here. I’m glad he’s doing this… finally.
Now if only he would stop doing it to Israel.
So, neutral attitude about the whole thing.
It’s like those people who say to look at the economy, like even if it was doing great because of him that doesn’t change that he is sending more and more weapons to Israel
Hello. I’m that crowd.
Are you saying this is enough? Cuz from what I can tell… not even close. Even with the aid package that he almost certainly takes credit for.
Oh. Wait this is part of that, huh.
No, I’m saying it’s something. Every time I engage with one of you you’re decrying everything he’s working on as nothing and attributing that ‘nothing’ to his entire presidency.
Then You’re clearly not paying attention.
The aid package that dropped had a shit load of hands on it. Biden did some lifting, but it was mostly house leadership that did the heavy lifting.
You’re clearly unwilling to give credit everywhere it’s due as if Biden touching something makes it solely his.
We aren’t talking about the aid package. We’re talking about the secret delivery of missiles to Ukraine.
Oh, I know, but the missilesnwere part of the match aid package. Which only just now got delivered. The only thing “secret” about it was the contents.
Biden didn’t go out of his way to help, much. At best he either reversed course or the stink about not giving them long range ATACMS was disninformation.
Either way, he’s holding a garden house to an apartment fire. Like he is on basically enerything.
And to be perfectly blunt he could and should do more. So doing “something” is almost insulting.
Compare this to ardent and zealous support of Israel as they fucking genocide Palestinians.
