Trump said the Maduro capture wasn’t aimed at Mexico but claimed cartels run the country and suggested the U.S. may need to take further action.

    The Gringos are going have their hands full if they piss off Central and South America. Not to mention, the US economy will fucking choke because Mexico is the USA’s largest trading partner.

      What do you think would happen with the millions of Mexicans living in the US? I mean, how much would they accept until the bough breaks?

      Not to mention that many of the Mexican drug cartels have ex Mexican military, trained by the US. This is not going to be the same as the quick’n easy roll-em-in invasion they had in Iraq.

          If only! We won’t be that lucky. They will just revert to feudalism, with absolute AI surveillance and thought control. Orwell was right, he knew. I mean we all knew. We just sat like frogs in the water slowly getting boiled.

              He was intimately familiar with the Soviet modus operandi. What he talked about was a reality in Eastern Europe for many decades. My own family way back when told me that every apartment had a speaker installed in the living room which would spout propaganda- you could turn the volume off but you could never turn the radio off.

              I’ve said for a long time that the USA has been going more and more towards a Stalinist society, and I stand by that claim.

          Netanyahu as Hitler and Trump as Mussolini is a pretty tight fit.

              Human nature doesn’t change. We can only create systems as justly as we can to prohibit and make it as difficult as we can to stop those who seek to harm mankind and society rather than elevate and evolve it.

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.
    • 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.
