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.

This Mexican President has been one of the most corrupt and inept presidents in Mexican history. Allied with organized crime and purposeful in his approach to corrupt and destroy the Mexican Army.
He’s also not in good terms with the Industry leaders that could do an embargo with Ecuador. A country that has been infiltrated severely by Mexican narcos, who were also trying to influence their elections by assassinating candidates.
Dude has also criticized the US, Mexico’s most important partner and a strong backer to make Mexico influential in Latin America.
There’s nothing AMLO can do but to make symbolic gestures.
And at the same time, raiding embassies sets a very, very bad precedent, whether you like Mexico's president or not
Exactly. The UK trapped Assange for years inside that embassy but they didnt dare to actually raid it. That's a step way way too far.
Still. Raiding embassies is the worst you can do. Its basically an invasion of a foreign country. Even states like Russia do not do that.
But Israel somehow can...
Okay... i should have made it more precise: attacking a foreign embassy on your own ground. Basically the idea of an embassy is that its protected by the state, in which is located and its counted as soil of the embassies state.
Here is it explained in more detail: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/02/world/europe/interpreter-israel-syria-embassy.html
but also not without consequences
What are you talking about? Russia invades entire countries! They don’t give a shit about embassies. That’s for show.
And in this case, the question is: What is Mexico going to do about it?
Infiltrating Narcos and cuddling them is an invasion of Ecuador. Especially when there’s no embassy, hospital or safe house the narcos will respect.
This is straight up insane. Yes, Russia invades other countries. No, that doesn't make raiding embassies good suddenly. International laws should be respected (and that goes for the west as well). Violating international law without any repercussions sets a very bad precedent (like unlawful invasions - see Irak, Ukraine).
