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.

venezuela (regardless of whether their citizens support maduro or NOT) should fight back. seriously!
Their far right, including the woman won a Nobel peace prize, are explicitly pro the U.S. attacking Venezuela to overthrow Maduro.
Maria Corina is not far right. C'mon.
Traditional right, yes.
Far right, nah.
She is literally calling for Trump to invade her country.
She’s a pro genocide MAGAt.
It's more complicated than just saying she's pro-Trump because she's indulging him.
Listen, I don't like that she's done that.
But let's be absolutely clear on one thing:
The Trump regime has more in common with the Maduro regime than whatever Machado has in mind.
I've seen Trump play the same book, step by step, that Chavez played back in the 00s.
They're both Russian material. Though Chavez was more aligned with Cuba, but it's the same BS.
So, no. Machado is not "maga". Machado is pro "4th Republic" (or how things were before this "5th Republic" established by Chávez.)
Machado is just desperate because nothing the Venezuelan opposition has done has worked. Granted, the opposition has been so, so, so lousy through the years! If you think Democrats suck at opposing Trump, you should read everything the Venezuelan opposition has done to resist, and get nothing as a result. Just hippie, "we go high" bullshit.
Hell, they even ousted Chávez once! Look it up! They didn't know what to do with the recently acquired power, doing a lot of bullshit moves that eventually the military was like "well, these people are crazier than Chávez. We gave them a chance, they blew it. Let's bring Chávez back before these clowns start a famine or something". It was hilariously sad.
So, again, Machado is not pro-Maga. She hates that ideology (America first, or Venezuela first in this case). She's just a result of a desperate opposition that sees that the only way to oust this unending regime is through external help. And unfortunately Trump took the bait. If Madagascar had expressed interested in invading Venezuela instead of the U.S., she would be buttering them (Madagascar) instead.
if venezuela's an aes country (think vietnam combined with nepal (which is NOT an aes country, but has socialist political parties), they would've fought back (and they should). seriously!
