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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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 have no idea whose side Pakistan is on.
This other article has some details. Note there is more to it than just this excerpt, I might be leaving out key information unintentionally while trying to find a source
Over the weekend, Pakistan carried out strikes on seven camps allegedly belonging to the Pakistani Taliban—also known as Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP)—and an Islamic State (ISIS)-affiliated group located in the Afghanistan provinces of Nangarhar and Paktika, according to Pakistan’s Ministry of Information & Broadcasting. Kabul said the strikes had hit civilian homes and a religious school and killed at least 18 people. The airstrikes killed at least 13 civilians in Afghanistan, according to the U.N. mission in Afghanistan. Pakistan claimed that the airstrikes killed at least 80 militants.
Islamabad has accused Kabul of hosting groups, including TTP, that have carried out recent terrorist attacks in Pakistan. The Taliban have publicly denied hosting TTP and other terrorist groups.
Citing a series of suicide bombing attacks this month, including an attack on Feb. 6 that killed more than 30 people at a mosque in Islamabad, the information ministry said in a Feb. 21 statement that it had “conclusive evidence” that the acts were perpetrated by militants at the “behest of their Afghanistan-based leadership and handlers.” The ministry also asserted that the Taliban has “failed to undertake any substantive action against” terrorist groups based in Afghanistan.
They don't either, so you're in good company.
China's. They're basically a Chinese vassal these days.
I'm not sure if it's that clear, I've also seen accusations the other way.

I think in reality, the world has shifted a lot from the bipolarity of the cold war and it's no longer possible (or productive) to try and figure out which "side" every nation is on.
They're on china's side against India, I don't know that they're that close as nations otherwise
They're completely economically dependent on China so that's pretty much a moot point.
I sure hope the US doesn't smell the blood, oil, and shareholder value.
Always quite ok when two countries aligned against the West fight. One of them having nukes a bit worrysome.
