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

Ahem, awkctually shooting deserters is a gewd thing, because it teaches the liberal media to stay in line, therefore helping communism strive by giving the totally not authoritarian AI implants in Putin dopamine and thats a good thing.

The Russian's have been doing this since at least WW2 (where it was common). Not surprising in the least.

Edit: turns out they've been doing this since at least the waning days of WW1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrier_troops
