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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.

Not doubting you, but could you supply the evidence that makes you so confident? Curious to know the full logic too. Globe is kinda big in comparison to 2 or 3 countries no?
Israel makes no secret that they intend to steal more land from their neighbors. They're extremely nationalistic so this is popular for their political leaders. They know the USA will protect them. It's a series of facts with a logical conclusion. If someone else doesn't start it first, they will eventually.
Facts without evidence from 'some_guy' = trust me bro?
Are any of my statements of fact in dispute? I just checked what I wrote and all three are verifiably true. And the idea that they will continue to agitate as a result makes perfect sense.
No disputes. I don't disagree. I was (still am as none has been seen by me) looking for evidence. It was a humble request because I'm overly curious. Sending peace and good vibes to the super-dimension-fortress crew🙂
Gotcha. Cheers.
if you want an academic discussion about world war accelerating events you will have more luck pestering your local professor rather than demanding evidence from someone who isn't intending to apply too much rigor on a lemmy post.
In bro we trust.
Well it's pretty simple to understand that Israel is supported by many western countries, and there are many others who do not support Israel and/or those western countries. Those western countries will support Israel and push their influence onto them, so anyone who wants to oppose the influence of either Israel or any of those western countries will have an incentive to support Iran in the conflict. What you have there is the same set of conditions that led to the world's previous global conflicts.
That sounds like a glorified proxy war than an actual world war. Nobody wants to fight on the behalf of Iran. Most countries are going to distance themselves from the regime, and a few of the more isolated countries will maybe give them weapons... That's about it.
