World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

The US had a perfectly good nuclear deal with Iran, but Trump chose to rip it up nine years ago because it had Obama's name on it.
Should come to no surprise that Iran don't want to end this crisis diplomatically with the same guy who stabbed them in the back just to spite the Democrats...
I've not read the full wording of his Truth Social post until now, but why does it read like he's trying to cut a wrestling promo?
I mean his description of the US airman rescue operation in yesterday's press conference where he called the Iranian army a "hostile, very talented, very good, very evil military" was giving me Danhausen vibes...
If he plays his cards right, he might end up winning the WWE Peace Prize.
Did you misspel WW3? 🤭
The US had a perfectly good deal. Israel didn't. If the deal had stayed in place, the Iranian econony would have roughly doubled by now. That's a lot more resources that could stay in Israel's way of expanding into Lebanon for example.
The deal benefited Israel as well... what are you talking about!?
What the deal did not include was: praise for the orange pedophile and/or distraction for his crimes or Bibi's
Did an edit to add that before I saw your reply. Don't buy what Israel tells you about how they love the Iranian people. Consider Israel's material interests.
E: Also it's fairly public fact that Israel lobbied against the deal and following it lobbied for repeal.
Hmmmm how about no... Israel had a chance but decided to become the new Nazis... they can go fuck themselves back to the stone age for all I care
"consider" as in "you won't understand why Israel does what it does unless you think about", it doesn't mean "give them what they want"
yes, I understood... but again, this is the slippery slope where "the best move" is justified regardless how heartless and immoral it may be
My point is I do not care what Israel had to win by this. This is wrong and they should pay dearly for their crimes against humanity
I only meant for analysis sake 😅
Yes but this is the slippery slope that can justify any and all atrocities...
There is a difference between "justify" and "explain." He's not saying what happened is OK, he's explaining why some people were motivated to ruin what most purple thought of as a good thing.
Again I UNDERSTOOD... but this is a slippery slope, "explaining" why "it makes sense" to commit genocide is too close to the SLIPPERY SLOPE I am complaining about
You keep saying "I understand" and then displaying that you don't understand.
I mean, I can explain why Grand Moff Tarken blew up Alderaan. I understand why he chose to do that. There is no slippery slope from there to "it's ok to blow up planets."
It is crucial that you understand the motivations of your enemy, and understand why he makes the decisions he does. You aren't going to defeat him by guesswork.
What part makes you think I do not understand?
Absolutely there is... go into ANY forum on US politics and you'll find the most immoral decisions labeled as "it was their best move"... if you go further you'll see those turned into "they'd be stupid not to do it"... and so forth
Tbh, it sounds too coherent to be him.
Yeah there's countless of instances of his posts containing words he would never use or know their meaning
