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.

I did not have "Trump - Climate Change Warrior/Eco-Terrorist" on my 2026 disaster bingo card.
He will go down in history for saving the world from itself.
Europe should make its own deal with Iran. Just have Iran agree to refrain from making a nuclear bomb and all sanctions would be lifted.
After everything that has happened, Iran cannot trust any deals.
Iran will not reopen the strait until the whole world knows that attacking Iran is not worth it. They need to inflict enough pain so that decades from now future US presidents remember what happened.
We are a long way from that.
Iran is also suffering. The purpose of a deal is to end suffering for everyone.
This is true, but they aren't in a position to trust any peace deal with the US and Israel. Their thinking, which I would agree with, is that any ceasefire or peace deal will just be buying time to rebuild the stocks, get everything in position, and start this up again in 6 months to a year. They are treating this as an existential war
They might not accept that right now. They are fighting for their lives against a nuclear power.
No, Iran reaching an agreement with Europe would show what type of deal Iran is willing to accept. If most countries like it, the US might follow. Also, Europe would immediately begin trading with Iran.
But they were already willing to reach an agreement on nuclear development before the war started. They were at the negotiating table, and the US showed to them that trying to negotiate for peace was a fool's errand.
I don’t think that Europe could start trading with Iran without backlash from the US.
Don’t their sanctions usually knock on to anyone who trades with the sanctioned country?
Although with TACO in charge it would just be another day another argument I guess.
Trump would certainly be angry, but he's already angry with Europe for not taking part in the US and Israel's war with Iran. Europe must stand up to Trump. Europa must become a man.
I hope you’re right. The republicans seem to be ok with an unhinged negotiator.
