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 format
Post title should mirror the news source title.
URL format
Post 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] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefix
Country 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.

Wait, he's COMING TO THE US?
WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK I MISSED THAT?
He hasn't been to the US since 2015, shortly after the first invasion of Ukraine. This is an unprecedented opportunity for someone to fix the problem that is Putin.
Undoubtedly he will have his own security detail. But he would not be allowed to meet Trump without interacting with other Americans. Everytime an opportunity to remove the cancer is missed, it will keep growing. Putin IS NOT immortal. The collapse of the Kremlin is inevitable. And it will not be pleasant. But we should at least do it before the rest of the world tears it's apart because of his psychological warfare.
I know, big words coming from someone who didn't fly to Alaska to do something about it, but it's not exactly something outside of that very inner circle of people can do anything about. And yeah, it would be a suicide mission unless you had access to some delayed acting chemical or biological weapon.
But I can't be the only one who sees the alternate future in which Putin is gone. So what if I'm not around to see it. The Russian Federation as it exists today is doomed, more so than the USA is (which is arguably still possible, yet incredibly unlikely, to do).
Frankly, this is yet another example of treasonous actions by this regime.
Edit: lmfao I woke the hexbear lmfao
I’m genuinly curious about exactly how you think this hypothetical action would improve the situation in the world.
The same way every liberal views history: Great Man theory says singular bad man dies, everything changes. Ignore material conditions
Obviously, but they seem to be calling for a US government employee to do this during a peace conference where the US is supposed to guarantee his safety. Even some liberals (though not all apparently) could spot one or two complications that might arise from this and I would love to hear in their own words what tangible positive change they would expect from this.
