Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

The announcement complicates last-ditch efforts by international mediators, including the director of the CIA

They’re not sending their best, folks.

I feel like if you're the CIA director and some shitty client state is actively undermining your efforts to make them stop dragging the US down even further, if your efforts are genuine, you basically have to openly heart attack gun that guy and, perhaps, his closest ministers. As a treat. Literally not a single person with any standing would give a shit if someone just blasted the most senior shitbags. It would be like Abe where the media pretended for a day and then immediately forgot about him.

Apparently the car crash wasn't a clear enough message.

This too (assuming it was a real plot. Also "Arab Israelis" is always a jarringly racist thing to read in Israeli sources)

We need gopro footage of Ben-Givr's car speeding through a red light, swerving to avoid other vehicles, flipping like 30 feet into the air and being intercepted midair by an RPG. There is a universe where this happened
