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.

Just the contrary. I explicitly stated that I believe what I’m reading are war crimes. I also stated that the State Department suppressed evidence of war crimes in a comment above, based on the disclosure from those who recently resigned.
Biden has three options:
Mandate reassessment from the State Department, hoping the report will be conclusive of crime allowing amendment of support
Investigate suppressed intelligence in the State Department, eventually leading to a reassessment of intelligence
Amending existing agreements against advisement from the State Department and Congress and face the impending impeachment hearing
Just in: No Gaza ceasefire until Israel war aims achieved, Netanyahu says
Each country has idiots. When it comes to the US, the idiots have a country. The US will always do what's right, after they have tried everything else.
The US will always support Israel. There are so many loopholes and so many US systems are corrupt and broken, they will always find a way to achieve their goal. Who cares if they break international laws or commit crimes against humanity or war crimes. They do not recognize the International Court of Justice anyway.
I've seen it myself. Navy ship under NATO flag isn't allowed to open fire on a pirated boat because there are civilians on board and it's illegal due to rules of engagement, among other things. NATO flag is removed, boat is changed into Swiss cheese, NATO flag is raised again. "hooorah! Oh, no clue how that happened, I don't know how everyone on board was transformed into spaghetti sauce. 'Murica!"
