This is an interesting world event, but I'm confused that it is considered on-topic here on HN. I had thought that non-technical news did not belong on HN. Can somebody please clarify the guidelines as to what is considered topical?

The guidelines are linked at the bottom of every page including this one.

In practice, pretty much any topic where people can remain civil is generally ok.
