What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

Meanwhile, Zelenskyy to Putin: "So, didja like Alaska while you were there? Take it! It's yours! My gift!". Bonus: If Putin acts now, Zelenskyy will throw in Mar-a-Lago.

Dumb question. Why the fuck does the US have any say in the future of another sovereign state?

[–] HairyHarry@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

Since when did the USA ever respected the sovereignty of another country?

Um no. The reason this old fart lives in the land down under is decades ago his birth country was fucked up by the US.

As a US citizen our leadership in any form has not right to give away land that does not belong to us.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago

Except that time the US gave a bit of that Louisiana Purchase land to the Brits in 1818.
