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.

Abso-fucking-lutely they will. Our people, by and large, are truly ignorant when it comes to the realities of war.
its by design. the media doesnt allow real discourse or real debates any more.
I've never been to war, but I did join (got discharged before I could finish my last week of boot, but that's another story) I study war at least. Not just the logistics of it or the battles written by poets. But the actual tellings by the men and women (a lot of men) about the horrors of it.
The monsters it brings out in humans. The bloodlust that can overtake some of us. Like hell on a bike, wasn't it Osama that like half life and counter strike? There's a chance we played with that dude at one point.. besides becoming a leader of a radical group and doing bad shit, he probably was a normal dude. But the constant war, the constant bloodshed, the constant invading forces raping your people...who the fuck wouldn't change.
And see, I get that. I see why they hate us. I don't hate them, I hate what they've become, but it's our fault, and I don't blame em one bit. The hardest thing is that I see how few people around here get that or understand it or even try to see it from their side. Some folks do, but for the most part, it's like being trapped in a room with idiots who repeat what they hear each other saying.
(By around here, I mean in the states, not on lemmy, y'all are pretty okay for the most part.)

Is that the prisoners in the concentration camps, or the guards who rape, torture and kill them who say that?
This situation is beyond sad.
I feel for the people of Iran, who like any of just want to live. I was hoping they would get regime change for a long time, and was hoping the protests would have worked, but they didn’t and then the US just put the final nail in the coffin.
The US really fucked this up beyond all feasible resolutions. And once again the people are the ones who suffer.
It was foolish to think Trump was bombing Iran for any other reason than Netanyahu talked him into it and that it makes his dick hard.
You're not wrong.
We have the Mad King in charge of all this, and to him, it makes perfect sense to carpet bomb tens of thousands of people in order to feel like a big boy.
Man, I wish I could live in a world where I could have any hope for a positive outcome from US military intervention, but I've ready too many history books. The only positive thing here is that Iran is fighting back, because capitulating to Donald only makes things worse.
I wish I knew how to make Americans more empathetic and anti-war.
