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.

Rules

This community is moderated in accordance with the principles outlined in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which emphasizes the right to freedom of opinion and expression. In addition to this foundational principle, we have some additional rules to ensure a respectful and constructive environment for all users.

1. English only

2. No social media posts

Avoid all social media posts. Try searching for a source that has a written article or transcription on the subject.

3. Respectful communication

4. Inclusivity

Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation. Any kind of discrimination will not be tolerated.

5. Ad hominem attacks

Any kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.

6. Off-topic tangents

Stay on topic. Keep it relevant.

7. Instance rules may apply

If something is not covered by community rules, but are against lemmy.zip instance rules, they will be enforced.

Russian and Chinese support for Venezuela has largely dried up, with no prospect of real military or financial aid.

Not really, not in the terms that matter, ready access to oil not controlled by rivals. China has offered quite a lot of loans to Venezuela, secured in oil. Venezuelan oil production is, for whatever reason you want to blame, far below the Chavez days.

It's almost certain that China won't defend Venezuela by force out of pure ideology, they aren't the Soviets in that regard for damn sure, and they don't seem inclined to believe they'll recoup their investments under Maduro.

Short of Venezuela selling their sovereignty and putting Chinese bases everywhere to defend Chinese-managed oil production I'm not sure what they can offer for protection.

As for Russian guarantees...

Lol

Tl;Dr the rambling nonsense,

It's not in their interests for America to conquer more oil reserves, but Venezuela isn't offering enough incentives (sweet tasty oil) on their own to actually be worth stopping it either.
