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.

Here's hoping
Whoa! There are some innocent and hard working people at those work sites. Some people even live nearby and their lives shouldn't be in danger.
There's nice long lists of CEOs, board executives and lobbying firms out there... And if their lives were somehow impacted by this needless war then that would have a much quicker response to this war.
They don't even need to hurt any of them but just target their megayachts that are very easily tracked and this war would end in a heartbeat.
Yeah but Iran is letting them know in advance that way they can stop going there.
Sooo kill a few hard working people on boats instead?
Poisidon demands more sacrifices!
It's too bad you don't get to choose how the people you attack retaliate. We probably should not have attacked them in the first place
Exactly, go after the assholes who chose to go to war and actually doing the killing.
Tell that to America, not Iran. America is blowing up school children.
If you believe Iran, that’s what they are doing.
who the fuck is we
Dude don't be daft. It's an ambiguous we meaning that it refers to the abstracted concept of a group of individuals.
It'd be like saying "Shame we can't get good quality woodworking anymore" and then getting annoyed because you live next to the Amish and can get good quality wood working done. Mayhaps you should go read an English arts book or something.
To be clear: I hope no innocent people die.
but also: Innocent people in Iran have certainly died by our choice not to update target info (killing school children with a direct hit we should have known better) and by our inaccurate weapons (we're killing lots of civilians).
So it's hard to argue if Iran strikes these tech companies, especially if they time it to, say, the middle of the night when there would be just a few people there.
Basically, I can't condone or support innocent people dying, but it's hard to argue that it would be a war crime for them if it's not a war crime when we hit civilians.
how about not fucking bombing anything? how about not dropping any fucking bombs? how about that doesn't that sound good
How about america shouldn't have started it by bombing children in a school? How about they shouldn't have then carried it on by once again bombing children in a school and sports hall?
I think Iran saying they'll bomb data centres is pretty tame when compared to having schools and more schools (plus sports halls where children are) being bombed, especially when it's all just to distract the world from a certain orange cunts decades of raping other children!! FUCK.
I'm not sure you got the real thrust of my point, but I don't disagree with anything you said, so you get an upvote for that much.
Valid.
I could careless about co-conspirators
Friendly reminder:
You don't know the admins of any of the lemmy instances you interact with or how likely they are to "have your back" if they get a Letter. Or if they might even report you themselves.
Not sure why I bring that up.
You're not on TOR right now?
