Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
Silver doesn't discuss it, but normally, presidents also "prep" the public for a conflict
explain why it's necessary and such, and Trump has broken from the norm on that.
He thought it would be as easy as Venezuela. They just pop up, kill the Ayatollah and replace it with another person (doesn't matter it makes no sense)
In reality he installed Aya-TOLL-ah, lifted sanctions on Iran, turned US bases in Middle East from assets to liabilities and ensured that now Iran will definitively get nuclear weapons.
Also, Iran now earns about double on their sanction skirting oil exports, Trump is basically funding the Iran regime.
And, the strait of hormuz is so fortified that the US navy can't move into it, since ships might get sunk.
Oh? I'm supposed to explain why I'm killing the puppy?
-Trump and the entire US government.
It's not like he can say it's to distract from the Epstein files and try to declare the midterm elections cancelled due to the war.
Yes I think the problem is identified right there.
Does Trump have a Boxing Helena fetish?
That picture is totally armless.
Maybe her arms are hands are ziptied behind her back.
