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 quite the same as massacring starving people who can't fight back, is it?
I mean, fuck the mullahs, but how often has Iran invaded any other country in the past century? I believe that number is zero. Compare that to Israel's assaults on its neighbors and the massive civilian casualties that those assaults caused.
And who was the idiot who abrogated the US nuclear non-proliferation treaty with Iran? Oh yeah, it was Trump in his first term.
They control hezbollah and heavily influence the houti rebels. It's not like sending troops there, but it's something.
They also are a crazy dictatorship that kills its own population for not dressing as they want. And they help putin bomb civilians with their drones. So yeah, fuck the mullahs.
They participated in the Iran-Iraq war, but that was started by Sadaam IIRC.
Wasn't Sadaam doing USA bidding during Iran Irak war?
Honestly I'm not sure. I don't know that part of history very well at all, and wouldn't want to venture a guess.
Yeah, that was started when Iraq invaded them.
Yeah that's what I thought, I just couldn't remember.
Iran has participated in a number of regional conflicts, including sending their own forces to support another country, but can't find any instances of Iran invading another country. As far as I know, that's just not something they do.
Iran follows the US doctrine as much as they can. They do everything they can through proxies, trying to avoid direct conflict.

Lady friend was looking through her social media and one of her tik toks just showed U.S. troops getting Steak and Lobster. They were questioning if it was really for the stupid birthday or the alternative is they usually do steak and lobster when our troops are about to get shafted (usually a deployment meal for the Marines/Navy)
