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. 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.

The idiot America managed to get the asian countries that hate each other to work together.
Can you imagine a world without the US?
Europe also bears much of the blame for the situation in the Middle East.
The US is just the most "successful" product of European colonialism and imperialism after all.
China, Japan, and South Korea? That's hilarious. From Mexican standoff to group hug.
Man uniting East Asia is something I didn't think that would happen in my lifetime, at least not peacefully.
Even just the headline is a ride; US literally driving everyone into China's arms.
Wish the article wasn't quite so barebones.
And achieved by Trump, on accident! (And against his will)
Whoopsie!
He truely is a stable genius /s
as someone unfortunately in the US, hell yeah, fuck us up, we deserve it
Aside from fucking up our economy, this pushes some of our biggest trading partners into the arms of our biggest geopolitical rival.
Not since the three day special military operation has a country weakened themselves so thoroughly on the international stage.
And I’m happy for it, because we suck and have for a long time.
I'm unhappily right there with you. My dad would be ashamed right now... I mean the person my dad told me he was and wanted me to emulate, would feel shame for the person he actually is and all the values he's failed to stand up for.
Got disillusioned with shit back around ‘99 or so, got tired of rotwing arrogant ignorance, and having lived in a former Soviet republic for several years decide that the US needed its comeuppance. Now I get to watch it all happen. Maybe a good ole fashioned occupation by another country will finally break the backs of the ignorant and lazy for a while.
There isn't a country in the world that could occupy the US. The best option for the word is to just separate us like a cancer, and just forget the US exists like a "dead zone" or something.
Theoretically Canada and Mexico could both lets say China use them as a staging point. Us would in my opinion fall in a few days and the US is actually doing its best to aggro all three of them.
Im sorry, but no. Hard no, absolutely not.
- US would have home field advantage.
- US has ~350 million people, and even more guns.
- the US is also absolutely huge, creating logistics and movement issues.
- China still can't really project power yet. 5)China has an aging population with less youth, meaning that huge population won't be that useful for invasion, while almost all 350 million Americans would be on def.
It would seriously be more effective to just isolate us in a box and move on with the world.
All the US guns in circulation I think would be useless against actual military weapons/vehicles, it would be air strikes against a guy with a rifle. (maybe hit and run tactics after the fact red dawn style is when they'd be of more use).
Yeah it's big but missiles and artillery have stupid ranges now and the Chinese really aren't lacking in numbers.
The advantages I'd give the US are the F22 should be better than any fighter China has but the J-20 isn't that far away and the F22 hasn't a lot of missiles.
Also it would be very hard to move that amount of troops and equipment without the US catching on but definetly not impossible, shipping containers could probably do it.
Last advantage is I don't think China would have any interest in actually invading the US they'd just sell their dollar reserves if they wanted to do serious damage.
The US also has the first and second biggest air forces.
It would seriously be more effective to just isolate us in a box and move on with the world.
Yep, hang back and watch as ramped corruption takes hold and guts the American military (Along with everything else), just at it gutted the Russian military (And society).
Plus we'll be fighting ourselves. If someone invades, we're fighting them.
Fucking hell, it's so depressing living during the collapse of an empire.
The scenery is still pretty, and the air doesn't always hurt to breathe yet.
Not yet at least!
Things have never looked better on the other side of the Pacific.
Yeah this is fire. If the US crashing and burning is what it takes for those three to be friends, then thats a price im willing to pay.
Canada will respond Wednesday too. Could be where the "find out" phase really kicks into gear for America.
Way to unite factions around the world that were previously aligned with us
