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

Haven't they already though?

Edit: /s. I was implying that they essentially have probably dropped an equivalent megatons on Gaza as what was dropped on Hiroshima but simply with 'conventional' bombs.

No… pretty sure any use of a nuclear weapon in the modern world would result in mass notifications to millions of peoples phones globally within minutes. Plus every government on the planet would be scrambling to make sure they’re defended against another bomb and preparing a response

I reckon the quick influx of messages would break a lot of the internet in the event of a nuke, even a small one
