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.

I mean who is gonna stop him?
This started meaningfully under Bush, Obama made it worse.
Hard to put the words out of the mouth but Trump was actually pretty restrained.
What happens what Cheeto gets the hot seat again?
Good intelligence squared on the topic here.
Was he?

From retributive action against terrorists performing unprovoked attacks against civilian ships of numerous countries in international waters?
No one, probably?
There's a broader point here that everyone seems to be missing, which is that the role of president didn't have the authority to do things like this historically. It's not about it being R or D, or if it's moral and justified 'this time'. It's that we've ceded a power to the executive which should be in the legislative branch.
I would really ask you to listen/ watch the debate I posted.
I hate when people say things like this like genocide is apparently not enough provocation.
Yeah, I'm sure those non-Israeli civilian ships not even heading to Israel are really provoking the Houthis with their genocidal actions.
Do you understand the idea of a blockadde?
Yes. Do you understand the idea of a 'neutral nation' or 'international waters'?
Yemen explicitly rejected neutrality. That's well within their rights when a genocide is happening at their doorstep.
You do understand that these ships being attacked are ships of neutral nations, right?
You do understand that... right?
And that the attacks aren't happening in Yemeni territorial waters or Israeli territorial waters, but in international waters.
You realize that... right?
... right...?
They're ships that are going to dock in Israel.
They're literally not, though. The Houthis have been indiscriminately attacking ships passing through the area, which is largely used for passage through the Suez Canal - the only alternative being making a trip all the way around Africa.
They... Are? They're attacking ships that are either Israeli-owned, flying the Israeli flag or are going to dock at Israel. And it's working.
The Houthis are indiscriminately attacking ships that are not Israeli-owned, flying the Israeli flag, or going to dock at Israel. Of the ships attacked, only a small minority have any connection to Israel at all. So you're just choosing to ignore reality. Okay. Good talk.
This is exceptionally easy to disprove with a five second Google search. Some of the container ships that were most recently attacked had panama and Japan flags. Please learn to think and read before spouting nonsense. What the houthi are doing is indiscernible from piracy
So I'm looking up that attack but can't find it. Got a link?
You should probably stick to your user name
In international waters? Better have a strong navy
2 wrongs don't make a right. Uninvolved civilians just working a shift don't deserve to die
And they didn't.
Did trump strike Yemen or not?
People can cry all they want, but it’s the US who gave the excuse to Houthi, I think they should first stop their genocide before accusing others of terrorism, leave that to more respectful countries
