Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

It’s not fucking “strange”.

It’s Canada, Japan, the EU, and our other former allies retaliating against the US trying to use absolutely asinine and ham-fisted tariffs as a cash grab/shakedown by engaging in strategic retaliatory fiscal policy.

This is actual 4D geoeconomic chess. Because if orangeboi doesn’t listen and they keep going, the USD standard goes away.

It's also American business interests losing faith in fascist America. Stupid ideas have painful consequences.

You say that like Brexit wasn't the most successful political victory in the history of the world.

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

And you say that like there were no painful consequences to brexit

lol I didn’t need the /s

Interesting that Carney was opposed to brexit but managed their central bank through it (as the first foreigner to run it, they wanted him that much) and now is part of, if not coordinating, the fuckyoudonny group of leaders selling their us bonds. Dude seems mild but should scare the shit out of the GOP.

Snort that propaganda long enough youre bound to do something stupid

The wealthy are no longer constrained by borders, so they don't actually care if the US hegemony fails. They have investments all over the world.

This is the fully realized American Exceptionalism mindset. Trump thought the entire world was going to bend over backwards to deal with us because the USA is so great and awesome they had no choice.

He is forcing the rest of the world to wean itself off of the US. Good job MAGA.
