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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.

Nah, the US isn’t directly involved in Ukraine
What? Where do you draw the line as 'directly involved' .. does a American Solider need to literally pull a trigger?
Of course the US is directly involved in Ukraine. They are doing everything in Ukraine expect for the literally pulling a trigger
When Uncle Sam is setting up McDonald's for its own soldiers to eat while US Military Logistics is busy in the background handling 50+ direct shipments of men and materials a day into their operating base.
BWUA HA HA HA!!! What we're doing right now isn't even 3% of what we did in the Gulf. I should post that damn Shaggy "1% of my power" meme because it's vastly closer to the truth than what you seem to believe.
If the US was directly involved we'd have Air Superiority in Ukraine in less than a week and within 30 days both East and South Ukraine would look like the surface of the moon. Russian ground forces would literally be fighting in the shade of skies filled with F-35s, F-16s, Apaches, and Tomahawks. B-2s would be running non-stop missions from the States and the US Navy would be blasting the holy hell out of anything that twitched.
THAT is what it looks like when the US gets directly involved. All we're doing right now is playing patty-cake. We have oodles of military and diplomatic capacity to spare for Israel. It's not even a question and if you think its any different, well, I suggest you rewatch some footage from GWOT and Gulf War I.
