We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Folks, CALM DOWN, this is still in the workshopping phase ok? First we bomb them, then we workshop WHY we bombed them, do you not understand the plan!?

Democrats, predictably, were apoplectic. “There was no imminent threat to the United States of America by the Iranians,” said Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee, who had received classified briefings from Rubio. “There was a threat to Israel. If we equate a threat to Israel as the equivalent of an imminent threat to the United States, then we are in uncharted territory.”


Meanwhile somewhere below decks on the Titanic 11:45 PM (ship's time) on April 14, 1912

Well, if we were to equate the threat of icebergs to an imminent threat to our ship, then we would be in uncharted territory! - a well dressed crew member with an officer's hat calmly explains to a passenger.

It's a special military operation. Looking forward to seeing the sanctions.

I've heard they are purchasing a big spinning wheel and suggestions are now being collected to place on the wheel board. Trump will give it a final spin later today and whatever it falls on his cronies will align with.

of course there's something in it which brings in money to the Government. The orange poostainlicker cannot do anything else.

Well, there's the standard authoriarian reason: "Because Dear Leader felt like it."

In this case, it's the only reason, with the reason behind the reason being "Because MBS and Netanyahu wanted it."

I haven't seen any news about this, but my family keeps saying that Iran attacked a US outpost first.

Edit, thanks for the sanity check.
