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.

How dare China go intercept us while we are doing a fly by right on the edge of one of their allies air space. If the Chinese were doing a fly by on the coast of Alaska we would totally defend their right to do so and not take any action!
It was literally part of a UN operation.
It's a Security Council resolution, very different than a broader UN operation.
The resolution itself does not provide for military force to be used for enforcement. Canada was acting against this.
it was still in international waters!
That in no way changes my original point. Do a role reversal. If China was patrolling in international waters on the edge of Alaska, how do you think Canada or the US would respond exactly?
your original point is still kind of stupid so no point in changing that. Russia is also invading our airspace but the west still don't act in such a stupid or dangerous way.
it's always those fucking communist countries that have to compensate for something with their behavior...

Russia is flying near Alaska and Canada all the time and nothing comes from it. This is different because of how close the pilots were.
You realise that this shit happens all the time? The Russians send bombers over northern Europe all the time and head towards UK airspace. They get intercepted by fighters, have a wave and turn around again.
what 😂
I'm confused...
You mean if UN flew close to US? It’s disingenuous to equate the UN with US.
The enforcement was through monitoring. If someone breaks the sanction, then this aircraft would provide the evidence. It's not military action like you suggest.
Would you like to refresh my memory on which countries have permanent veto power on the Security Council?
Would you also like to remind me which countries on the Security Council voted to impose sanctions on North Korea?
I'll wait.
China did, but as stated the resolution does not grant the use of military enforcement.
Does not grant the use of military force. That doesn't mean that surveillance planes are banned, ffs.
You're really going out of your way to defend what is meaningless and petty nationalist dickwaving for domestic Chinese media.
Nah they’re just looking for reasons to shit on Canada because you know… Trudeau bad.
Edit: I have no basis for the above comment. It was reactionary and silly. I shall leave it up in shame.
Surveillance flights are not military enforcement.
From what I read (and saw on video), the issue is that the Chinese jet got within 10 meters of the plane being intercepted... Which is reckless as hell.
Fuck China. Next *time they buzz a plane or ship we should start blowing folks up. What are they going to do?
How about no, and we just treat this like it is - nationalist dickwaving that means nothing, like Greece and Turkey buzzing each other.
Oh no, you are wrong about that, dude. Buzzing each other and actually copying all other domestic and international acts of each other has earned Mitsotakis and Erdoğan very firm seats. Just cry "enemy at the gates" when the elections are closing in, you can be a god among men.
