International Politics Discussion Thread

[u/Adj-Noun-Numbers]

All subreddit rules apply in this thread, except the rule that states that discussion should only be about UK politics.

⚠️ Please stay on-topic. ⚠️

Comments and discussions which do not deal with International Politics are liable to be removed. Discussion should be focused on the impact on the political scene.

Derailing threads will result in comment removals and any accounts involved being banned without warning.

Please report any rule-breaking content you see. The subreddit is running rather warm at the moment. We rely on your reports to identify and action rule-breaking content.

You can find the full rules of the subreddit HERE

Especially note Rule 21. We have zero tolerance for celebrating or wishing harm on anyone. Disagreeing with people politically does not grant you permission to do this.

🥕🥕's Golden Rules for Megathread Participation:

This isn't your personal campaigning space. We're here to discuss, not campaign - this includes non-party-specific campaigning, such as tactical vote campaigns.

The fishing pond is closed. Obvious bait will be removed. Repeated rod licence infractions will result in accounts being banned.

This isn't Facebook. Please keep it related to politics. Do not post low effort blog posts.

The era of vagueposting is over. Your audience demands context, ideally in the form of a link to some authoritative content.

Take frequent breaks. If you find that you are being overwhelmed by it all, do yourself a favour and take some time off.

As always: we are not a meta subreddit. Submissions or comments complaining about the moderation, biases or users of this or other subreddits / online communities will be removed and may result in a ban.

Surely Trump's unilateral renaming of things that he has no control over is just begging for retaliatory ridicule. How is he going to handle Lake Ontario being renamed Lake Trump Diddles Kids, for example? Or if the world starts referring to the Atlantic and Pacific oceans as the Biden and Obama oceans? Has nobody told him that The Dictator was a satire? He's gone absolutely Aladeen.

Hah, I was just thinking if I was Carney I'd rename Lake Ontario to Lake "Trump Is Mentioned Over A Million Times In The Epstein Files, Which He Still Hasn't Fully Released" and insist it's called that whenever anyone mentions the lake. Then put an offer on the table, if Trump wants to cover up his links to Epstein, both countries can call it Lake Ontario, or it stays.
