  • Becasue it's ironic to have a huge oil reserve as a country, but autocrats filled their pockets with money and spend in wars, instead of investing in infrastructure.

    It's relational because common people unfortunately always pay the price for having bad leaders; because it's freezing cold in many parts of the world; and finally, because RF Gvment said Europe was freezing to death last year according to their propaganda/ YT link

  • A good storm in the northeast can knock the power system.

    But they didn't mention a storm in Moscow, that's the thing isn'? And the outages have been at multiple places across the RF.

    Here is a link fromThe Moscow Times

    Also nobody knows what you are talking about when you say northeast : NE from where?

  • War mongering from nato is not a positive for the peace of the world

    You got it backwards and upiside down: War mongering from Putin is not a positive for the peace of the world

  • Some 90,000 troops.

    Approx. 200K + would have been more proportionate. Still, it's a positive action.

  • Siite not available in my region. Is it US news, what is this link?

    Edit: changed my VPN to USA. local news indeed

  • who will have to carry the burden to support the elderly.

    Yes, and I don't want to think about what will happen if they [ the children] either can't or won't.

  • They are actually working towards a petition to ban AFD as being unconstitutional and anti democratic.

    Wolfgang Thierse, a former president of the German parliament who is considered a moral authority in the country, threw his weight behind an initiative to explore the possibility of banning the party on the grounds of anti-constitutionality.

    He also offered his support for a petition looking to revoke the basic rights of prominent party members considered to be enemies of the constitution. A petition specifically directed against the Thuringia AfD’s group leader, Björn Höcke, has gained traction since the Potsdam meeting was revealed and by Tuesday had garnered more than 830,000 signatures.

  • This is WORLD news dude. No local stuff here.

  • It's never been about reading the post/ articles. Mmm?!

  • Not a first though. Just a couple of weeks ago aljazeera link 27 dec 23 :

    "Turkey has hit 71 sites allegedly linked to Kurdish groups in Syria and northern Iraq during air raids launched this week in retaliation for the deaths of 12 Turkish soldiers in Iraq, the defence minister has said."

  • " Two major wars, a shipping crisis, cyber attacks on state institutions and yet more alarming evidence of the climate emergency mean there’s no shortage of talking points.

    But turning ideas into action when governments owe an unprecedented $88.1 trillion — equivalent almost to the world’s annual economic output — will be hard. "

  • Agreed, garbage sources are garbage sources.

    This.

  • Is that good? The article gives no context for the results.

    For context here another article by France24

    And they state:

    " Labelled a separatist by Beijing, the winner in Taiwan’s presidential race has promised to stick to Tsai’s policy of maintaining the status quo, which avoids open declarations of independence while rejecting China’s sovereignty claims. "

  • Tnx, good enough for me!

    I get that you need a clearcut line, on the other hand you are the MODS, so you could use your discretion wisely and sparingly, when you feel the need.

    When it hurts to remove a post, becasue of the rules, that should ring a bell, and imo you should follow your "nose" instead of the rules. Rules are only "guidelines" after all.

  • All the best sorting the mods out!

    World News is for all News OUTSIDE the United States, that's what the normal "News" is for

    The division you make between domestic and worldnews is US centric. US newssites and journals follow this same logic. So, US citizens read their domestic news and everything that is not US, is considered worldnews . I get that.

    The problem is that what sometimes is domestic to US, is sometimes worldnews for the rest of the world. This means some domestic US news is considered worldnews in other non US newspapers.

    I don't care especially about domestic US News, but when it's considered major news by Non Us newsagents, it's usually important for the world as a whole.

    Please, consider this element as well.
