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.

It is pretty endable. We just give them our republican leaders and any democrat leaders that were in favor.
There will be some sort of financial reimbursement.
Might be able to spin it around and offer college admission to their students to help bridge the damage.
That would be funny if it were not for all the dead people he will create as a result.

How did the Iraq war yield quick results? Wasn't the U.S. military there for like 9 years?
Nevermind the article, are you seriously so lazy that you won't even read the summary? You don't even have to click on anything. It's right in front of you! Just read it!
The military collapsed in a matter of days. Yet the conflict didn't end for years, which is the whole premise of the article and every conflict mentioned.
Because the entire army went home, the US wouldn't allow them to work in security, fired many of those that were working in security, and then did a big ole surprise Pikachu when the army just kind of became an insurgency.
Ah, so you're talking about the benefits we reap after the dust settles following the initial military actions.
That makes more sense, admittedly I did skim.
This will end the same as every other middle east conflict. We destroy the government and make 12 new terrorist organizations. But they keep trying to cut the heads off a hydra.
The man isn't even able to prevent himself from shitting his pants.
The only thing « they » won is a larger distraction from the Epstein files of a pedophile president.
Yeah real odd the timing of this attack is the same day they released evidence of him diddling kids...
Correction: the war Netanyahu started, and Trump followed along with
The US started this war decades ago. The "Cold War" did not end, it was merely renamed "Peace".
Calling it now, when striking military targets fails to get surrender, we will switch to war crimes, Israel and then the US will start hitting water, food, and transportation infrastructure.
The only way to get victory from this war is genocide.
We blew up a school. It was war crimes from the start.
right out of the gate!
And we know the Zionists are intensely relaxed about perpetrating genocide.
Uh, y'all already all in on that.
They already have been. I know that at least one water desalination plant was hit. Civilian fuel infrastructure has been hit. The US openly stated they're going to try to cripple their industrial capacity. Seems the US has adopted Israel's Dahiya doctrine which targets civilian infrastructure. I think Trump said once the US is done there will be nobody left to surrender...
“At some point I don't think there will be anybody left, maybe to say ‘we surrender.’ They’re being decimated.”

Because bombing a school isn't a war crime in the US. It's just a Tuesday
It's not a war crime is it's the first time.
Wonder what new horrors the torment nexus can cook up.

Iran gets a vote.
And that's it. This war is going to at least last through November because Iran now wants to hurt Donald politically.
EVERY war ever fought was going to be over in a month with an overwhelming victory, and yet, it NEVER happens.
Except in the first US gulf war, back in the early 90s. (Kuwait was attacked by Iraq. The USA spent months preparing and then three days attacking. Then stopped when Iraq surrendered.)
Or the fall of the USSR. (Happened in about a month, no major fighting.)
Or the Russian annexation of Crimea.
It isn't that short military exercises never yield results. It's that wars persist until both attacker and defender believe peace is the best tactic.
The USA bombing a country for whom fighting the USA is essentially their national myth is possibly the dumbest thing that my country has ever done.
Of course he cannot stop it now. The world and it's history is way bigger than the current blip that is trump.
This dude started presidency with zero major crises, and has created at least three.

War is a choice, he could end it right now.
I know the first thing I would do is stop shooting at the nation that bombed and killed my family and 100+ kids because they stopped first.
We have radicalized an entire nation against the US for no reason anyone can actually explain. The only thing we taught every nation is that we can bomb you and take your leaders captive if you do not have nukes.
Not just a nation, a whole region. We did commit genocides in Afghanistan and Iraq too.
He can choose to no longer shoot at Iran, but he can not make Iran stop shooting at the US. It takes only one site to keep a war going.
Good thing Iran has never struck at the US then. Although "good" might not be appropriate at this point.
The Middle East has been in constant threats and instability for the past century.
Donny boy has been living peacefully golfing and surrounded by yes men.
He's kicked a lot of bee hives.
That fat cunt is unable to keep it's trousers clean from it's own shit.
So how the fuck anyone thinks that that waffling pile of dementia riddled syphilis can unfuck the murdering of schoolgirls in this Epstein war is laughable at best.
I mean, he could stop the war tomorrow by handing himself over to the Iranian authorities.
The plan was to distract from the Epstein files at any means necessary.
