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 should not fund the genocide in Ukraine.
The usa profit from the genocide in Ukraine, Gaza and Sudan and want to steal natural ressources from latin americs
This post is about Venezuela funding the genocide in Ukraine and the US stopping Venezuela from funding the genocide in Ukraine.
This post is about the usa staling Venezuela resources and wanting to put a puppet serving only the US interests
I guess a should have added some bold text
This post is about Venezuela supplying oil to Russia and Iran after the US sanctioned Russia and Iran for their genocide in Ukraine. The US has defended Ukraine until Trump got into office (under control of Putin).
No, it is about the usa stealing Venezuelan oils and imposing an illegal blockade. Stop acting like the world police when you are the world biggest gang.
Did you quickly forget how trump proposed to Ukraine a surrender plan similar to the one in Gaza?
From your master own words. There is nothing to do with Iran and Russia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X11W3O9BeBA
Russia will not be allowed to invade other countries and commit genocide freely.
Militaries are the world police.
Trump is acting on behalf of Russia.
Your YouTube research is a joke. Please understand how incompetent it looks to share YouTube videos as evidence of anything.
You are a joke. The US has zero right to police the world, zero. You are supporting the biggest terrorist country the world ever seen responsible of the biggest numbers of coups and countries destruction.
A video about Trump himself admitting that he want to steal Venezuelan oil is not an evidence of anything? Get out of your high horse
The US isn’t invading Ukraine. Russia is. Trump is corrupted by Russia so he will try to profit off of anything. It is part of his duty to Russia. You are obviously here to defend the Kremlin.
So trump the Russian supporter has the right to steal oils from Venezuela because he think the USA is entitled to that oil and not because of the genocide in Ukraine like you claim . The USA is backing Russian genocide in Ukraine, the genocide in Sudan and the genocide in Gaza yet still think the USA should police of the world . I never saw a more idiotic person as you, you terrorist supporter.
Will the usa also block Israel and Russia two countries committing genocide from trading with each other? https://cnss.msruas.ac.in/uploads/images/for-israel-embassy_divya_cnss_israel-russia-economic-ties.pdf
The US is capable of enforcing sanctions that weaken Russia’s genocide in Ukraine. So they will. That isn’t policing or stealing. It is enforcing sanctions that were created to weaken the genocide in Ukraine.
Trumps actions are decided by Putin. That is why the genocide has increased since Putin controlled Trump became president.
Venezuela should not fund the genocide in Ukraine and if they keep trying I hope they pay the price.
USA can put all the sanctions they want. They can not attack Venezuelan ships or blockade them as that is illegal as per international laws. Doing that is an attack on their national integrity, and thus a war declaration.
This is just the justification phase of a new proxy war, in which the US will try to topple a government and get control over national resources.
Just let it go. He's either a bot or someone too stupid to breathe without directions.
The invasion of Ukraine is a declaration of war and illegal.
Sanctioning Russia and Iran because of their illegal genocide in Ukraine is legal.
Google said it was headed to Cuba…
Since you’re spamming this comment I’ll have to copy and paste the response.
It was headed to Cuba when it was captured. It had already transported oil to Iran. From the article:
This ship was sanctioned years ago under Biden not Trump.
