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.

Can we just not turn this into world war 3?
Please?
What's even the point? Just trade with your neighbors and don't fight with them.
There is a strong likelihood that Iran was behind Hamas' attack on 7 October, so it's not like the US are the ones escalating here.
There is a strong likelihood that Israeli intelligence turned a blind eye to the 7 October attack to bury opposition to Netanyahu.
There is some likelihood, however it shouldn't be understated how well Hamas were prepared. They blew up cell towers in the area using small drones, which was a single point of failure in the early warning system, and sniped the Israeli guards in their towers. Israel was also distracted by an attack in the West Bank immediately prior, and many in the air force had been on strike over Netanyahu's actions with reservists stating they would refuse to answer if called up. Many of the active forces were on holiday, so everything was left with a skeleton crew.
Equally, Hamas' preparations were known about well in advance - they trained attacking mock Israeli villages in Gaza, right in sight of Israel. It was also the 50th anniversary of the last time Palestinians attacked Israel on the Yom Kippur holiday. The fact that there wasn't heightened security is absolutely a failure on Netanyahu's part.
Or simply to justify a Palestinian genocide.
Yeah, we could do that.
Unfortunately domestic policy spills over into international, and we no longer just throw stones to get our way.
China wants to restore its glory and never be fucked over again, USA wants to keep itself at the top of the world, Philippines and Taiwan want their space, Middle East has a culture and religion that needs to be expressed against us heretics... especially after being fucked over for decades, North Korea has small dick syndrome (leader, not its people) and countries that were colonial are trying to find their feet in a hostile world.
Not sure what Europe is up to.
Europe is over there debating on spending 2% GDP on their military currently as the entire rest of the world is preparing for major potential conflict escalation.
Shitting their collective pants now that Russia has their sights on them.
Please show me where any country is "shitting themselves over Russia" after the master stroke in self destruction Russia has displayed in Ukraine?
😂 the three days to kyiv russia is a reason to shit our pants? I don't think so...
You certainly seem to be shitting your pants anytime anyone mentions the US backing off aiding Ukraine under Trump.
I dont get the same impression here in germany. And I also dont see that Trump will be a problem ever again. So nope, no shitting our pants here because of Russia or Trump.
Special military operation
LMAOOOOOOOOO.
Russia isn't even the strongest military in Ukraine. Nobody is shitting their pants over Russia after their comical display of total failure and incompetence in Ukraine. It's not 2011 anymore, the tiger mask has fallen off to reveal the sick, weak little kitten that is Russia.
Sadly, this is what we all voted for.
