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. 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.

You knew that Canada had the recipts when Trudeau went public with it. He's not prone to causing friction between countries for no reason.
Oh, absolutely.
India is trying to be Saudi?
Modi could be trying to become Mister Bone Saw 2.0
Look up the massacre he presided over.
those in the past ? or the one he's presiding over presently?
When he was governor of an Indian state. Maybe Gujarat? I can’t remember and am riding motorcycle as I type this.
I really hope you're a passenger...
Please don't text and ride. Being in a motorcycle wreck really sucks - I know from experience. Informing people about this is important but so is not being in the trauma ward.
I was jumping Snake River Canyon; all good.
You are talking about the communal anti-Muslim pogrom in 2002, Gujarat, when Modi was the Chief Minister.
Thank you for correcting!
It's a bit of a shame they weren't able to arrest anyone for it.
Nothing to say they won't. When world powers are concerned you want to make sure you get it right.
There's zero chance the people who did this are still in the country. They would have been on a diplomatic flight that same hour.
What would actually happen here though? India will just say it wasn't them regardless... Nothing will actually change, exactly like when the Russians got outted for poisioning those people in the UK.
Likely will get used as a political tool / bargaining chip in the future. They won't destroy relationships but will certainly be used as leverage.

given the large numbers of Storm Shadow missiles hitting the Russian Fleet HQ in Crimea -- and killing the head of fleet ops and his staff -- it sounds like the UK is getting theirs. Just took a little while.
