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.

"Has the level of your inner struggle reached the stage of you negotiating with yourself?"
God DAMN
"Try to keep up Zolfaqari, we're way past that stage. Negotiations are over, now we're just hell bent on destroying ourselves"
Trump is stopping the war simply because there's no point.
The US is negotiating with itself, and still it is losing the negotiations.
You are right on it
And yet they bribed him, but he won't say what the bribe was other than it was super illegal.
“Like a 12 year old boy after watching his first episode of Baywatch, the US is clumsily fiddling with its negotiations.”
"When you're as important as I am, you only negotiate with the most important person. That dapper, attractive man is the ONLY person worth talking to. He's in such a fine, golden palace, like a king's!" - The literally Crazy (malignant narcissist), Old, and Corrupt Donvict looking in the mirror.
Now I'm imagining his mental decline culminating with him just saying his own name over and over like a pokemon, expecting people to clap and tell him how great he is.
Chuck Schumer: "HEY! That's OUR thing!"
"I have lowered my glasses in disapproval. Pray that I don't lower them further."
Honestly I don’t know how this will ever become cease fire.
When Trump and his cronies decide they've made enough money through blatant market manipulation, they'll get bored of the war.
They're making money while they burn a billion in taxpayer funds every day to keep the bombs falling.
The market for the missing oil is going to dry up if they wait long enough.
I can tell you that suddenly theres no more electric cars on craigslist near me
There will be once automakers catch up with the demand.
Admittedly, I have little to no idea how long THAT is going to take, though..
How?
Anyone who was on the fence about getting a full electric car is going to do it now and not look back.
It’s being reported that Trump’s inner circle are hiding facts from him. They show him videos of airstrikes and big explosions, but he had no idea that Iranians had struck US planes until he saw it in the media.
This is what happens when Trump replaced all competent people with yes-men.
If he doesn’t know its going badly and Fox is praising him, what incentive does he have to stop?
Lol man it is wild to see the incompetence at play here.
Trump doesn't stand for shit, he's a spinless little bitch and he's bitten off the biggest bite of shit he's ever had in his mouth at once despite everyone warning him against it and how bad of an idea it was going to be they did it anyway.
Then murdered like 180 little girls and killed their supreme leader.
and thinks they are going to negotiate lmfaoooooooooooo
What a stupid, stupid, stupid fucking thing to have done.
You're out of your element, Donny!
I can't help but think the current results were intentional. There are so many levels of command this had to go through that someone could have pulled the plug if it was just Diaper Don playing president again.
Trump seized oil in Venezuela (I'm pretty sure he and his entourage have their hands in that.) and now he's driving up the oil prices with what seems like a completely idiotic declaration of war.... stupid for Americans and the rest of the world, but for him and his corrupt bunch, things are going just great, I'd wager
Wouldn’t even be surprised if it was Whiskey Leaks who told Donnie that they were having negotiations.
Geez guys, have some faith.They're negotiating with the previous ayotolla with an ouija board.
Stop doubting your greatest leader. 🙄
Also known as ambassadorbation.
I loved it when Trump said that they gave him a big gift, and that's how he knows he's dealing with the right people.
They might not be able to deliver on any of their agreements, but they promised him something shiny, so he's in.
They are going to fleece him for a zillion bucks.
The US is much like the man at the top: talking to itself, incapable of understanding the world around it.
Imaginary negotiations!
