Maybe they should. A well-written and edited article is still going to be valid and provide needed contex for months. Cable news has fooled us into thinking that if something was written more than an hour ago, we can safely ignore it.
You’re worshipping the 24 hour news cycle instead of actually understanding current geopolitics
I don’t think that you understand what we are trying to say. This community is for current world news. As in, current articles. An old article being related to current events is not what belongs in worldnews.
I think old news can become news again when new developments occur.
What I’ll give you is that OP should have included those new developments in the body of the link, so that this conversation wouldn’t have to happen down in the comment section. I don’t think they were wrong to post it without that context, but it would have avoided our bickering.
People don’t usually post 4 month old articles to news communities. That is why it’s weird.

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. Let’s make a community called /c/FourMonthOldNews where you, and at least one other, can post old news articles.
Your assumption is way off base. I worship nothing. I try to read reputable sources, though have been known to be lazy and not do that.
It’s an ongoing genocide last I checked, and this news from 4 months ago is highly relevant to what’s happening right now.

Why isn’t that in the sidebar, then?
You’re right, but let us use our heads for a moment:
When someone hears worldnews, they think current articles, not potentially outdated articles.
This article belonged on worldnews four months ago.
