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.

They're begging for Biden back lmfao
The truth hurts.
I don't know why they abandonned the "if israel did not exists, we had to create one" guy
Because Trump went along with what the Democrats wouldn't.
Wat do you think this was for?
https://www.war.gov/News/News-Stories/Article/Article/3279772/largest-us-israeli-exercise-in-history-concludes/
To project strength, instead of actually starting a war.
Please don't tell me that you truely believe this bullshit.
The Millenium exercise was 26 years ago.
The Israelis have been trying to get the Americans to invade Iran since 1980 with the same song and dance, only Trump was stupid enough to listen.
If you think President Harris would've fallen for it, that's just bias confirmation on your part.
We should always believe what Rubio says because he would never lie to us. Can't decide if you are naive, thick, duplicitous or some combination of the three.
Never forget, it was Israeli "intelligence" regarding "WMDs" that got GW Bush to start his disastrous invasion of Iraq. Israel are not allies of the USA, they are the USA's greatest threat and history will likely view them as their manipulation of US foreign policy as the reason for the downfall of the American empire.
You are so dumb that is is laughable . Yes Israel was participating in manufacturing consent for the war on Iraq but the war was going to happen with or without it. The war on Iraq was primary about America imperialist interests The mastermind of the war was always Dick Cheney to enrich himself and his companies, to control of Iraq resources and enrichment to military industrial complex . You are the cultist who believe your poor shitty country never hold no responsibility that it is always the fault of other countries and foreign influences.
You should read about how the region was important for empires for a millennium before spewing the bullshit of how the USA has no imperialist interests in supporting Israel and destroying Iran
Opening with an ad hominem attack, this should be interesting....
You then proceed with an unintelligible, illiterate diatribe. I was incorrect it was not interesting. I'm also from Ireland not the USA Einstein.
You should read literally anything buddy, then learn how to write before playing with the big boys.
What I have was facts about Israel manipulating the US government, as they have been doing since their shitty settler colony came into existence 70 odd years ago. You gave me your opinion and feelings, stop being so emotional homie, losing will do that to you I suppose.....
You are projecting. Being in a foreign cult is even worse. It is better to have flawed third-language skills than to be a brainwashed cultist. The fact is that the lie regarding Iraq’s WMDs existed long before Netanyahu. In reality, American intelligence produced an entire report disagreeing with those claims, yet Congress and the Bush administration refused to even read it. The fact remains that the United States has operated as an empire, consistently pursuing imperialist interests in the region. That area has been of critical geopolitical importance for a millennium, yet you refuse to read or learn anything new. You prefer to be spoon-fed lies.
I disagree, it does however give you the ability to look foolish in more than one language, well done! You for some reason accuse me of being a "cultist" without any indication of what my cult may be, enlighten me please!
I remember a time when the ziobots actually had decent arguments but the quality of your output has declined sharply recently. You, like the Zionist state have lost the run of the narrative, like all death cults Zionism can have only one end.
Lmao, lol
Biden did not invade Iran, do you really think Netanyahu suddenly got that Idea after Trump became president?
No i don't think Netanyahu got the idea just after trump became president. He wanted to go to the war for decades but he couldn't because of the circumstances which significally changed in 2024. Israel realized that they got away with the genocide in Gaza enables by both Biden and Trump then they got a fake cease fire with Lebanon making them thinking it is the end of Hezbollah. The next logical step is to go to the head of the "snake" Iran. It was the perfect opportunity.
The very reason Israel was so gung ho about getting the US to attack Iran was because they knew they didn't have a snow balls chance in hell of taking them out themselves.
Iran has 93 million people. Comparing them to Lebanon or Gaza or Jordan is like thinking a championship highschool basketball team could beat the Knicks.
An exercise? Your evidence that Biden would have been more in line with Israel's plans than Trump is that they did an exercise in an area of the world where the US is constantly starting shit and "needs" to be prepared for the next time they start shit?
Why a proud Zionist like Biden enabling the genocide like trump would not be as much in line with Israel's plan as Trump?
Yes an exercise leading to this war like the Russian exercise leading to the invasion of Ukraine Zapad-2021 and Union Resolve 2022
What truth? Dumbfuck anarchist sockpuppet. Get fucked.
