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.
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.

This fucking idiot couldn't even make a deal to trade lunches with a child... Not even with a Lunchables and a kool-aid squeeze versus warm tuna.
First the war was over.
Now the agreement is over.
Important daily updates from Trump on what is or is not over.
I am so over Trump, as is most of humanity.
The neat thing is China is over Trump and now Iran is too while Ukraine is as well.
Republicans wanted chaos and that is what they are going to get. Gas prices and egg prices be damned.
I can’t see how anyone can negotiate with this man when he seems to go back on his agreements in less than a week.
A week? He broke the first fucking part of the MOU less than a day later threatening Iran over something.
The US never intended to keep its end of the deal anyway and never did. Its not really a surprise to find American aggression continues.
Israel would never have allowed it
Did we pay them the 300 billion dollars before this happened? Is this a 'war' now and not a 'conflict'? jfc
No, the 300b was promised but not yet delivered. The US did remove sanctions on Iranian oil though so they will have made a buck on that + whatever "fees" they managed to extract from ships wanting to transit.
I'll b et the GOP is really happy that Trump is going to spike gas prices just before the midterms.
They have plans for winning the midterms even if the people don't vote for them.
otoh, they had a plan on January 6, and another plan to beat Iran, and one to win the game against Belgium...
You throw enough shit at the wall and some it will stick.
That's why we gotta make it too big to rig.
And the rest of the world said "No shit Sherlock. We knew from the outset this was folly."
The initial announcement was made to coincide with his big dumb brawl on the front lawn. He wanted to announce a peace plan, and got a Memorandum of Understanding, which is basically an agreement to start talking. I'm not even sure that Iran had agreed to anything at all. The entire thing was destined to fail from the beginning.
But it served its purpose. He got a rationalization to have his big celebration (so he wasn't just having a big party during a war), and it eased gas prices a little for a minute, but we always knew we'd be back here.
Lasted longer than I thought it would.
