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. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
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. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

MODERATORS
They bragged about breaching international law. Take the photo of Nicolás Maduro hancuffed Trump personally posted on social media. That's against Geneva Convention, article 13. Cuck Starmer is such an embarrassment.
I think the fact that he was blindfolded is worse than the handcuffs
All of Europe is America's bitch. Don't be hypocritical if you're European.
I am canadian. I hate canadian and europe hypocrisy
Starmer isn't blindfolded, he is doing exactly what he is supposed to.
Elections are just entertainment for the masses. They're all part of secret societies and the politicians do what the 3 letter organisations, billionaires and Israel tell them to do. At least in the western world.
There is a lot of money to be made in Venezuela by Chevron and BP so they're keeping quiet while pretending they care about the Geneva convention.
I was referring to Maduro . He was handcuffed but more importantly blindfolded
Just a reminder that the US has not signed most of the Geneva Convention articles because it doesn't want to have to follow them if it doesn't want to.
They did sign all the four conventions and all three protocols. They just never ratified Protocol I and II as they were too busy breaching them...
yeah but isn't the Geneva convention ~~only~~ for white people rights only? (/s of course, or... well... not sure anymore)
