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.

How the hell can they just waltz into a country and just kidnap their leader without committing diplomatic suicide with the rest of the world?
The next US president should finally join the ICC and give retroactive authority to prosecute anyone associated with the current US regime. Neatly sidesteps any pardon shenanigans they're going to attempt, given a US presidential pardon has no legal standing outside its borders.
Because Maduro was a pariah, same as Gaddafi and Saddam Hussein. Obviously, it's not about liberating the Venezuelan people. The US isn't even pretending this time. It's about oil and getting rich.
If you shoot a rat with a shotgun, yeah, maybe don't do that, but thanks for killing the rat. If you shoot a dog with a shotgun, that's pretty monstrous. As long as Trump takes out the worst folks, he'll get away with it.
As an American I love this idea.
Trump and the rest of the GOP at this point are traitors to both their own people, and to the world.
Let's throw a good number of the democrats in there, too. Not all of them like the GOP, but many of those assholes are also traitors.
Not gonna happen. Trump is especially blatant, but imperialism is bipartisan.
Not to mention that SCOTUS would never allow it.
Trump always said the quiet part loud.
Every single goddamn american president after the us became imperialist should go to jail
So since founding.
Sure, they should but I can't see any US president giving up their war crimes pass.
It'd be nice, but I can't see a country that has a Hague Invasion Plan to prevent any American from ever being tried by the ICC just, you know, giving that up.
Is it now a free for all for dictators? Trump, Netanyahu, Putin next in line?
