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.

Rules for me, rules for thee
That's one quick way to destroy America's position in the global system. But Trump would order it. We all know he would.
There aren't enough of them to do so.
enacted August 2, 2002
Of course Bush did it, who else would do something like this (except for Trump maybe)?
That’s um a bad look even by America in 2002 standards jeez
Ok Europe why the fuck haven’t you prepared for conflict with us‽
Signing a document like this makes it clear you're an antisemite.
Fuck the GOP
Please don’t. Or at least use a condom.
We don’t need mini-GOP running around.
Just fuck them with a cactus. Without lube. Problem solved.
Poor cactus.
Paige NO!
They are a party obsessed with birth rates, for totally-not-racist reasons.
GOP, the Get...Orrybody Pregnant...Party.
We'll keep workshopping it.
I don’t think the ICC gives a shit about what the GOP has to say. There have been multiple reported war crimes, something must happen.
Threatening the prosecutors' families is a typically classy move from the GOP.
They learned it from their daddy Trump.
Ooo. Scary.
TL;DR: Fascists love fascist war criminals
Target deez nutz. They both found evidence of genocide and spoken words that imply intent that would make compelling evidence during the trial.
the icc also directed the israeli government to fucking stop the bad shit and they have only intensified
first of all, the us isn't even a member of the icc so you can't really do squat.
Yeah I think the implication now that they will try and murder them. Thinly veiled threats
The US apparently already put a law in place that if a US soldier is ever tried by the ICC that they would invade the Netherlands and liberate him by force.
We want to be able to commit war crimes and behave like absolute monsters, and we want the same for our friends.
Oh no, don't make an enemy of the most incompetent political organization in American history.
“Incompetent”…
Anyone wanna tell this guy what happened to abortion rights?
Name one other thing they accomplished (flipping SC counts as part of what you mentioned)
They keep winning Presidential elections against the popular will, they gerrymandered districts and restricted voting to guarantee themselves electoral wins, and they stuffed the Supreme Court with extremists who will do their bidding for decades. They're pretty competent at being obstructive and gaming the system for far-right minority rule.
I was more talking about legislation/legal precedent but I do agree with you
They're totally incompetent at many things, such as governing, but they're brilliant at brainwashing their followers and causing harm to people at home and around the world. Just like typical fictional supervillains.
They will do anything and everything to escalate tensions in that part of the world. They believe that if they can hasten Armageddon in the Middle East it will force Jesus to come back sooner. It's a bullshit lasagna plan (layer upon layer of utter shite). But it's what these lunatics believe.
This right here. Not enough people realize how bonkers these religious nut jobs really are, or that this is the real reason the US is so invested in Israel.
Seriously, can we push back rules separating state and church? You can't work for the government if you believe in Santa claus, sorry. Same goes for Allah, god, Jehova, shiva, or any other of the make belief friends.
Isnt it a felony to threaten someone or something?
Rules for thee...
Wait a second? So if GOP members say stuff like this, what happens if some unruly ICC people decide to go after GOP and their family? These people sure know how to create a safe world…
Edit for wording
there's a US law that says the US will destroy the ICC if they try to convict a US citizen, I think. Threats work.
Republicans standing against justice once again.
Biden would just veto whatev-
Nah I couldn't even finish the sentence.
He could. But he won’t.
Why does the GOP go against the wishes of Vladimir Putin when it applies to Israel?
Now that the RuSSian economy is in big trouble, Vlad the war criminal doesn't have the money to pay them, so they don't have to comply anymore
