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.

USA pllitics aside, the world would be a little brighter with Maduro and his regime out of Venezuela
So you say. But it's up to the people of Venezuela do decide that and then act upon it, not the deranged USA administration.
Of course, but thats another thing. Americans are sick people.
The problem with ellection in Venezuela is that they are stupidly rigged. It is said that Maduro lost the last one 70-30, and expatriates were not allowed to vote alleguing bs reasons. (Those are ~5 million voters that were heavily sided against maduro). If thats true, Venezuela has to "decide" by storming the streets at this point
Still up to them. Being a foreigner you may even cheer for either side, as long as you don't send armies there to plunder and murder.
I will state this cause i think it may be subject of misinterpretation: i stated "decide" in comas because maduro lost the last 2 elections (the first one may be arguable, the second one was scandalous) and nothing changed, not because they should be "coopted to decide" or something.
And just to clarify, the USA should stay out of venezuela
I thought I read they did storm the streets of Caracas, during the last Trump admin, in support of Maduro, during a previous coup attempt.
Like the US got caught sponsoring mercenaries and trying to ship in a load of guns to start a coup. I don't imagine everything is peachy in Venezuela, but I do wonder how much of that is due to meddling by foreign powers versus corruption.
News in Latin America is hard to trust one way or another, because it always seems like it's being twisted to support one goal or another. Like, I know the state media is biased, but I also know the Western media is eager to support bloodthirsty actors who want to pillage their resources.
People said the same of Sadam. Trust me, more imperialism can make it worse.
in most cases yes… but not if the plan is just to turn Venezuela into an all you can eat buffet for the American regime
You mean like how Libya is so much better now without Qaddafi? 🤡
No? Are you slow or something? You people have to stop watching the world in black and white.
You need to learn from history.
You need to touch grass
Okay, you were given two examples of why this is bad (Qaddafi, Sadam). Here's another: Syria was a stable and semi-prosperous country before the meddling began, and then it was turned into a basket case. It took over ten years to depose Assad, and in the meantime their economy has been obliterated and half a million people died.
These are just the recent examples, there are so many more: Sukarno in Indonesia, Allende in Chile, Lumumba in Congo, over and over and fucking over the US comes and fucking destroys countries in the name of "liberating" the people. Your government programs you to hate these "regimes" but they're actually stabilizing forces, and without them everything is worse.
Making things worse is the point. If they can't install a puppet regime friendly to US interests they'll settle for turning the country into another basket case, because taking Venezuela's oil off the market raises prices (and thus profits)
And Trump is already promising to do the same fucking thing in Colombia! It's so nakedly evil, and you just lap it up like a dog. The US's internal politics don't even matter, this is bipartisan.
Damn you are slow!
Talking to you is self harm.
Ah, i thought you already knew, you were talking alone.
So long as fucking tRump goes with him.
Maybe someone can convince them to hold a cage match to determine the winner? Or some other form of 1v1 duel?
Why is that? The woman who won the prize is a car right extremist. What has Maduro done badly?
