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.

Pull out the Sanctions or shut up already Macaroni.
Israel is the gun pointed at Egypt's head over the Suez Canal. For all the bullshit Netanyahu is pulling, too many Europeans learned all the wrong lessons from the Nasser coup and assume a "Greater Israel"
is necessary to maintain commerce between the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean.
Egypt is fully under American control already.
Sisi is a puppet that receives billions each year from both America and Europe to surpress his population and kneel for israel. Recently he got another 8 Billion IMF bribe.
I don't think there's any strategy involved in the support of israel other than israel fully owning the majority of politicians.
I'd say its not, as evidenced by the ousting of Hosni Mubarak in 2011. The US doesn't even have a military base in Egypt. The closest we've got are in Etrea and Tripoli, with our West African bases getting squeezed out by the recent wave of military coups. Israel, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia are fundamental to our control of the region.
Think harder.
Why are we getting "squeezed" out of Egypt and Jordan?...
Because of israel.
We fully control the others yet israel is a rabid attack dog. It's the worst of both worlds. We have to obey them instead of the other way around.
