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.

It was a tank firing an artillery shell...
It's not like they can call in an airstrike bro.
They're there because if a country fires on them, it's supposed to mean a shit ton of sanctions and loss of aid and especially arms sales.
The problem is Biden has said repeatedly for decades that he'll never ever lessen his support for Israel under any situation.
And Bibi is a big enough dick to take advantage of that.
Did you ever watch The Good Place? It's like the part that has the nicest guy in the world, and a psychopath kid who takes advantage of it.
Except Biden isn't the nicest guy in the world. He has been a genocidal imperialist for all of his political career. He said in the 80s, when Israel was invading Lebanon, committing and supporting massacres, that if it wasn't for Israel the US needed to create it.
Despite his dementia, on this topic he knows exactly what he is doing, and his administration is set to continue on this course, even after he will be replaced by Harris.
Neither was "the nicest guy in the world" he was blindly doing anything that was asked of him and completely wasting his life because he guessed the afterlife was based off some kind of points system, he happened to get almost all of it right.
Biden believes the moral solution is always to 100% support Israel.
Regardless of if either of them guesses right or not, they're doing the exact same thing.
That show is amazing and you should rewatch it
My point is that Biden is not taken advantage off. He has the power, he knows he has the power and he and his administration deliberately choose to continue on this path every day.
@Saleh @givesomefucks
Unfortunately Salah is quite correct, Biden for some unknown reason has chosen this path.
He could have changed directions anytime he wanted to, and apparently never wanted to
And so did the other guy
In the analogy no one is forcing either of them.
And no one is forcing me to keep trying to explain this
I should have given up long ago, but I didn't.
Now I'm just blocking everyone that can't understand what a fucking analogy is, because at some point, we might interact again, and this is very very frustrating to try and explain.
Bruh, if you've never seen it stop trying to go a long with the analogy....
No one was forcing the guy from the show either, he could have stopped at any second and did not conclusively know what the afterlife could be.
Ita the same fucking thing. And the only way you not getting this is if you were trying to go along with an analogy you were missing half of.
There must be some tit-for-tat proportional response though, like having one of their own tanks fire its own artillery shell in their tank's general direction or something.
Having civilian officials there should be enough for that. These are actual military. They have the ability to use force, so they should be authorized to use it.
The UN is under the direct control of either of these folks, however. Surely the UN agency that placed the Irish troops there has enough autonomy to order rules of engagement? Or perhaps, since these are Irish troops, Ireland might be able to do the same?
