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.

Jesus christ I’m getting a bit worried that Bibi’s gonna pop some canned sunshine. Fuck me.
Canned sunshine is the most terrifying and badass name I've ever heard used to describe a nuke.
Does Iran have operational nukes? They'd probably respond in kind. If not, they'd probably launch basically everything they have at Israel.
~~Pakistan has made guarantees that they will retaliate with their nuclear weapons if a nuclear strike occurs on Iran.~~
EDIT: I went to find a source and Pakistan has walked this back and are denying that they ever said it
Well that ups the chances that Israel will use one. That was the one thing I was hoping would stop them
Pakistan already played spades. Told Israel they would use theirs if Israel uses one on Iran.
They do not, that’s kind of what this whole deal is about dude. And they’ve been launching what they have at Israel for a few days, it’s not much.
It's not much? They broke through the iron dome, that's a bit more than not much my dude.
It’s not nothing but Israel is bombing targets on Iran's eastern border right now, that speaks a clear language.
Most countries, Israel included, don't possess the material for a protracted war. Most Non-US countries can make war, at best, for six months.
They just have to make war longer than Iran.
Even if they don’t have any nukes that they developed themselves, there’s always the possibility they could’ve bought one or two from North Korea…
If anyone does. It'll be Nosferatu. All to cover his own ass. Because once he's out as pres he's going to jail for a loooot of corruption apparently.
I don’t think they will, but I’ve been thinking that one way Israel could get current and potential future enemies off their back for good would be if they finally showed the world that they do possess nukes and are not afraid to use them, possibly by making an example of someone. I do hope they won’t prove quite so callous.
If that happens (and I hope it doesn’t, but they’re crazy enough to do it), can the west stop supporting them and leave them to their own devices?
The Tangerine Toddler wants to beat him to it
Yeah, he seems narcissistic enough that he really doesn't think there would be consequences.
Hopefully there are other people around him who doesn't want the rest of the world aiming everything they have at them.
