Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Not really onion-y.
Lebanon literally has a foreign paramilitary group with considerabily political power controlling part of it's territory, so they are arguable not a fully sovereign state. And in the end statehood is not a clear definied concept and what really matter is recognition from other states. A state not recognition another for poltical reasons is not really something strange or absurd. That's pretty much the norm.
It is not the norm, it is becoming the norm. Nothing to shrug about, it is quite dystopian.
And how is Hezbollah not a local military? As far as I know, they have existed before the Iranian revolution.
How so? This was much more common in the past. It's become much less of the norm since we have international instituations like the UN.
right, but this isn't !aboringdystopia@lemmy.world. And I don't think it's onion-y.
They are funded by and acting in the interest of Iran. But it wouldn't really change anything if they were local. It still means the government is only partially in control of the country.
So it's not the norm, it is becoming the norm. you answered it yourself.
My comment is not the post, the post is onion-y
This makes no sense.
