World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.
-
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.

Hearing this phrase repeated ad nauseam these past fee days is pretty fucked up.
Because we all know many innocent people are going to get caught up in such an unproportional attack.
Its like you're all salivating for death.
Something the US is as famous as Israel for.
It’s not a foregone conclusion civilians will die. For example, none were killed last month when the US drone struck the PMF militias. I will be upset by and do not condone any civilian getting killed. No matter what happens, it will be the result of Pro-Iranian militias killing US forces when they had no need to.
They had no need to?
USA is a country in North America, they are the one who station soldiers in another continent for no reason and continue to work with groups in the region to ensure instability. They should expect to be attacked.
Here an example where USA and Iran worked together against ISIS
https://web.archive.org/web/20230204083535/https://theintercept.com/2019/11/18/iran-isis-iraq-kurds/
"The battle of Makhmour represented another important milestone in the war against ISIS: It was the place where two foreign military interventions began. One was directed by the U.S.-led international coalition, which provided air support and later, heavy weaponry. The other, in the form of ammunition, training, and intelligence support, came from Iran. Over the course of a few short days that August, coalition airstrikes hit ISIS positions in the parched desert hills near Makhmour, leveling the playing field between the heavily armed extremists and the Kurdish fighters."
assholes should stop fucking around if they don't want to find out
I understand the need for a retaliatory strike.
I don’t understand the need to meme about what is going to be a large civilian death toll or collateral damage as you rephrased it as.
Be better.
it sounds like you already know how many civilians will be killed.. do you have them lined up in front of your military radar installations?
No, Im just aware of US military history.
Like how you reduced the risks in Iraq and Afghanistan, or Vietnam or Cambodia, etc.
i'm sure you're a dedicated internet forum expert on that and lots of US foreign policy
Personal attacks wont change what is said.
If thats all you have left to contribute, I’ll be ending my replies now.
you haven't actually said anything yet
