Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

America and Israel's attack almost certainly snuffed out the rebellion in Iran, especially after they bombed a school full of children.
People aren't going to overthrow the local authorities when a foreign country unilaterally decides to attack their country and even targets their children.
I expect this had the exact opposite effect of what the Trump administration claimed to desire.
Then again, I seriously doubt that the real objective of the Pedo War was ever related to Iran itself.
I don’t think the US killing civilians drives Iranian rebels back into philosophical alignment with their government, but certainly it’s hard to get a protest together when the US is bombing.
An exterior threat can have a rally-around-the-flag effect. They hate the administration, but now they see an even bigger threat, a foreign threat. They might not want to rock the boat now.
I suppose this is true. I have more criticisms than praise for my home country, the US, but when I hear people outside it criticize it in a hostile way, my first reflex is not to agree with them, it’s more like “hey fuck you.”
I've seen some reporting that claims the US and Israel is bombing leftist opposition in Iran. And arming Kurdish militants. Seems like they just want Iran completely destabilized.
This is exactly what they want, but I doubt the Kurds are going to trust them anymore, so the US really has no control over how things settle.
The US is currently operating at the strategic level of a drive-by shooter.
Yeah, no. Russia really needed gas and oil to be much more expensive globally. That Ukraine war is costly. Also the Trump/Epstein files. Also Israel.
Russia is actively giving military aid to Iran and vice versa, what are you talking about?
Because Iran is targeting vessels in the Strait of Hormuz it brings the global price of oil up and drives demand for Russian oil. Yes, Russia supports Iran, but this war is a win for Russian interests. It erodes the international order, stamps out rebellion in Iran, boosts oil profitability, reinforces their stance that the neoliberal world order is a threat, and weakens America.
Plus, they won't directly intervene cause of their non-aggression pact with Israel (Israel doesn't arm Ukraine, Russian oligarchs vacation in Israel)

you guys are so disingenious fucks its crazy
US and israel are doing blatant imperialism, and even if russia happens to be benefit from it how can you claim it is all conspired by them? Neo liberal world order is shit and I hope it ends Weak america is good for the wrold
I don't think anyone suggested that, but go off. First comment blamed Russia, Israel, and the Epstein files. Someone asked why Russia, I explained why Russia. Thank you, come again
