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.

As long as we keep shooting them down with minimal damage, we really won't do much.
The moment something sneaks through and kills a sailor, wherever it came from will be decimated.
Makes sense. Thats what I thought but wasn't sure
Classic. Can't pay for the welfare of the common citizens, but will happily dole out military contracts for poking it's nose in lands far away from home.
We can do both without any issue
It’s called fulfilling our role as allies and good stewards in relation to intl conflict. In addition to this we have been playing peace keeper and the US, Blinken and Biden specifically, are to thank for this ceasefire
But go off I guess, we should just simply stand by and let Israel drag itself into a full on apartheid right? We shouldn’t be trying to chill them out and hold off a worse conflict right??
Get a grip, if you’re mad about how the US doesn’t take care of their citizens, vote and encourage others to as well, but don’t cry when the US steps in to avoid more death. You act like we just strutted in cuz we wanted to and not because of the implications of our allies involvement and also our duty given the position of power the US resides in (whether you like it or not)
We can and must do both
Control of global politics goes hand-in-hand with being a trustworthy ally that keeps its word. Other countries aren't likely to align with you if you can't show that you can be trusted.
Whatever you're smoking, stop right now. Lmao
Modern world commerce doesn’t happen if we don’t “poke our nose in lands far away from home.”
A sane comment that got some people butthurt for some reason. No one is attacking us. We are fucking with people around the world because the shareholders of the military industrial complex need constant growth. They're losing money without war. They've bought and paid for every politician (except for a few). America's economy will collapse without war. Our politicians fucked this country so bad that it won't survive without wars. No "good allys" no "peace keepers" none of that bullshit. Every empire collapses, and our turn will come. Oh, they don't give a single fuck about our own citizens. They can live on the streets, it's ok. They're "addicted to drugs" and can't "pull themselves by their bootstraps" .
