A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

"ex official said: this might happen and that might mean" how is this relevant news?
How would that be different than the current plan under Biden?
What is fucked is that no matter what happens. They will insist that it was all the Democrat's fault and all the fault of communists and socialists. They will be believed both despite the absurdity of it all and because of the absurdity of it.
in reality it was the 20 million voters that abstained from voting this election.
Yeah, because DNC didn't do a spectacularly bad job of fucking up the campaign.
May the people in this sub who screeched Genocide Joe and threatened Kamala over her continued support for Israel get the policies they voted for.
But at least they got join MAGA to own the libs.
I believe Putin's power over Trump will prevent anyone doing anything extreme about Iran. Russia has always had an interest in controlling Iran and certainly would not approve the US taking it out.
I think that Netanyahu has more power than Putin at this point.
So the same thing as Biden?
The war with Iran is already on the doorstep of happening under Bidens unconditional aid.
Such a shame Kamala did not get elected. Who also promised unconditional aid and advocated for starting a war with Iran.
Posts like this would have a lot more impact if the Democrats were different.
No Kamala would‘ve saved us! /s
He criticized Trump’s approach to foreign policy, suggesting Trump would be inclined to “capitulate” to authoritarian leaders, which may not sit well with some Republicans.
Don't they even know who they picked to represent them?
Waiiiiit, are you saying that not voting Kamala didn't magically stop the genocide in Gaza?????
That it only accelerates it, like I and other people have been saying for months????
WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING?!
I got banned from a community saying this as calmly as possible XD Idk i feel like theses tankies who were overwhelmingly hostile are either shills or hypocrits who just want to hurt the big bad capitalist, short and long term consequences be damned. (Tankies=/=Leftists just a reminder)
Yep, running two pro-genocide candidates did absolutely nothing to stop the genocide.
That should put paid to the myth that Trump is 'the antidote to all the wars'.
I always thought that the argument 'no wars were started during his presidency' was bullshit.
He spent all 4 years totaling around 3 trillion in Afghanistan, to accomplish nothing.
crazy to think that trump might do exactly what he said he was going to do. how could we, the voters, have predicted this?
Libs still have zero self-awareness. Promoting genocide for months in the most condescending and futile manner... Then continuing to blame everyone else after they inevitably lose yet again.
Seriously Trump is a garbage person who would be easy to beat with Bernie, Michelle, etc. But the libs gotta impose their terrible politics on everyone. Gotta shove their genocide down our throats.
