There's stuff that crosses boundaries though, especially when it comes to US news.
For example:
A US soldier crossed the border into North Korea and is now being held captive.
US news? World news? Both? Neither?
Neither, it is not relevant to anyone outside of the states.
Well it's immediately relevant to NK, SK. And USA.. pretty global if you ask me. Oh and maybe Russia, China, Japan, Philippines, etc. Need to fill headlines with hot topics anyways.

Same issue on a few other c's - maybe we need to add "_nonUS" or "_US" to lemmy/c names, or wait until Lemmy adds something like flairs.
You could always sub to https://lemmy.world/c/news@kbin.social - kbin news magazine that has worldwide coverage
There's a Canadian Politics community on Lemmy.World too. It's very small but that can change!
