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.
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.

Isn't this a bit of a predicament for Trump? Traditionally the US has supported Taiwan's independence, and it seems to me that'd be continued under Trump's "China bad" rhetoric/policy. However, getting chummy with Putin might require rescinding support for Taiwan's independence.
Am I missing something here?
There's your mistake. Trump doesn't give a fuck about what the US traditionally does, and neither do his supporters. Same as Trump being blatantly pro-Russia despite the US, and the US right in particular, traditionally being anti-Russia.
They don't give a fuck if they've always been at war with Eurasia or Eastasia. All they care about is having the proles crushed beneath them, and whatever Big Brother figure promises them that, they'll gleefully bootlick for.
Yeah, sure, he doesn't care about tradition, I get that. But it also seems to me Trump has always been fairly anti-China. Ofc he's also plenty happy to misrepresent his intent if it makes his base happy, so maybe that part was just a facade?

Take your pick of instance of him expressing his love for Xi and China.
Now, he did set some trade tariffs on Chinese goods, but that's all. Otherwise, it's all fellatio.
Good point. Guess it just indicates how unpredictable he is. Just like how he said he'd build a wall, then built a little chunk of wall. It's all about doing the minimum possible to placate his base.
I'm just here trying to get a grasp on what the actual implications of his presidency are going to be. :/
Trump will be anti or pro whatever suits his interests at any given moment.
Trump will fuck Taiwan because that’s what the boss wants.
Traditionally the US does not support Taiwan independence. Go look it up.
Though it is true that they are quietly trying to push their puppets in Taiwan to declare independence because they know damned well that is the only way they will get the war they so desperately want.
The vast majority of the Taiwanese want the status quo to remain exactly as it is
This comment is such a blatant lie that I’m going to assume it’s disinformation.
Prove me wrong
That is not proof. It is also a cropped photo. The uncropped version shows Tiananmen Square at the top but it doesn't show what your propagandists want it to show. I'll post it for you when I get home.
I thought maybe you were in China. Damn, looks like you’re just a moron.
