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.

MODERATORS
Yes, they were not hesitant to kill thousands in protest even without nukes, why not just give them the ultimate pass like Kim?
Who cares? kim is totally fine, where did you get "thousands" number from? which govt isnt authoritarian
Sorry, I have the source but it is the worst authoritarian of all. Iran themselves.
And by the way I am not going to engage with you any longer since you are mentally deranged to think "Kim is totally fine". Shooting down people who are escaping from the country is fine? You are proving yourself to be just like the MAGA nuts.
Every country is authoritarian, whats your point? even my country has nukes and thousands of people have died in anti government protests, I dont get the co relation? First america will put illegal sanctions and when public unrest is created either people overthrow the govt or govt suppresses the protest forcefully. Who is at wrong here?
I frankly dont care, most of those stories about north korea are sensationalized, and even if he doesnt allow people to leave who cares tbf? he doesnt bomb random countries like america tho
Megathreads are kinda meh tbh.
It causes new info to be buried and not seen on the front page, and a lot of the discussion also goes unseen due to the high number of comments.
Megathreads linking to daily threads though are decent
Lemmy isnt so active and big that we need to hide things in megathreads.
I like megathreads because they improve conversation on a topic
It’s nice to get updates on events as they happen this way
I am shocked that the FIFA Peace Prize winner and chairman of the Board of Peace has decided to launch this Special Military Operation. Totally shocked.
FIFA peace prize in shambles, board of peace blown to pieces.
Bored of Peace
Trump said that this is going to last about four weeks. So he’s really going with “this will all be over by Easter” again like he did with Covid during his first term?
Yeah, giving a prognosis on the duration of a war is usually not the best idea.
Sincerely, a Russian. We've been stuck in our oh so glorious three day war for over four years now.

He just posted that three us could make bombs "forever". Already teeing up to say this will take a long time and it hasn't been a week
Great, so he’s got no plan for this, like everything else.
His plan is to steal the midterms and end national voting
Its part of the plan to rig the elections in November for sure
This is a good development (creating a megathread) - good for user engagement and retention here.
As someone who doesn't enjoy megathreads, is it just because people don't want to see multiple articles in their feed? I've seen megathreads
- get abused by mods (mass deletion of anything even loosely related),
- user engagement is buried (100 comments in 10 different articles is better than just 500 comments in a megathread to me),
- and it's harder to see updates/new happenings without constantly checking back in for edits.
Mod megathread's also seems like an overreach of moderator's role. They are now in the driver seat of a pinned, mega popular post and it goes to their head (I've been in communities before where they just start blanketing megathreads for anything that's gaining traction and squash even legitimate posts). They now also have added workload onto themselves by having to curate even further what gets posted at their discretion (and competing with their own post).

So basically the plan is to keep air striking whatever administration fills the power vacuum until they get one they like?
The American way
Man that gif is depressing
When Russia lost planes to friendly fire, we made fun of them. It’s been 2 days and I think we’ve lost more planes to friendly fire than Russia has in years.
Back in my army days, every chopper that went down, whether in a warzone or not, was deemed an "accident" or "mechanical failure". Once two choppers went down and we were told they just crashed against each other, lol. I don't believe these "accidents" anymore, maybe 1 out of 10 cases but this is just a lie to keep morale up, I'm positive.

FWIW Russia shot themselves, so it’s not quite the same.
If the US had shot its own jets down … that’d be funny.

I understand how bad the world order when the USA can do whatever the heck they want is bad, but we can't act like the Ayatollah is a martyr. The power is always bad, not exclusively when it oppresses us
He is a martyr, objectively. Does that mean the Iranian government is "good"? No, but he was murdered by the US/Israel, knowing full well the risks to his own life. Now Iran is in a war of national survival, so it isn't just pro-government people but also the fence-sitters who will consider him a martyr. The hard-core opposition will increasingly look like quislings as the nazi pedophile forces indiscriminately bomb Iranian cities.

Is there anyone that can help an out of the loop fellow such as myself? I know of the war but I have no idea how and why it started. I thought Israel was all over palestine as of late. And now everyone in the area and the USA are involved?
Who benefits from Trump’s war in Iran? The answer is disturbingly clear.
Who wants Iran bombed off the map, for their own reasons? Who are their rivals and enemies? Perennially, the Gulf Arab states, countries like Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.
You know, Qatar. The country that just gave Donald Trump a really, really nice $400 milion-dollar plane, a gilded flying palace for his own use both during his presidency and after?
And you remember the United Arab Emirates, recently structuring a totally pointless crypto financial transaction so that $2 billion of it was stuffed into the Trump family’s otherwise worthless brand-new crypto financial firm?
And you remember the Saudis who stuffed $2 billion into the pockets of Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner just as Trump’s first term in office came to a close? Enough people were alarmed about that they actually bothered to come up with an excuse for what made it OK. They said, don’t worry, Jared will never again work for the U.S. government; he’s never coming back to Washington, so we’ll never have to worry about having someone involved in U.S. policy who has also been given billions of dollars by Saudi Arabia.
Well, who was leading the negotiations on behalf of the United States with Iran before we just started this war with them? I mean, Secretary of State Marco Rubio was in St. Kitts and Nevis. It wasn’t him. It was Jared Kushner, who was recently paid billions of dollars by Iran’s chief rival, sitting alongside Trump’s tiny real estate friend, Steve Witkoff, whose son recently sought to improve his family fortunes by going to Qatar to seek money from its sovereign wealth fund.
All of those ties just go to show what contempt for those states US/Trump has, the fools thought they were buying, compared to Israel supremacy. Gulf states being weaker is also bestest for Israel, and if they complain too hard about being mistreated, they will get Venezuelaed.
Funny that the article didn't mention Israel, which has been the loudest advocate for this war of aggression.

Some guy who regularly shits his pants raped kids with a guy that worked for mossad. He and/or mossad had that guy murdered a couple years ago. People started asking too many uncomfortable questions recently so this was the best course of action.
