World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

First, I really wish I could put that many 9s on it. I agree with you, but it would be nice if Democrats ran as directly on "no more wars" as Trump did. I definitely wouldn't rule out Harris allowing Israel to attack Iran, but just being more discrete and framing it as "Israel's war" instead of ours.
Second, folks should be wary: one of the things that makes Netanyahu so dangerous is that he's genuinely a mastermind at planning AND pivoting: he'll game out multiple sides of things, and when people say he's cooked or is finally out of options he'll pull out a move he had ready.
My point is that he's never taken by surprise, and he's the undisputed master of pulling a rabbit out of his hat when everyone thinks they've got him cornered.
Do not underestimate his ability to win reelection or retain his power even if he loses.
He's not some impossible genius.
Recall that the entire October 7th attack in 2023 happened at all because Bibi moved the soldiers out of posts to prevent attacks exactly like that to posts near the judges that were overseeing his criminal trials in order to intimidate them.
That or he let Hamas attack. They knew about the plans more than a year before it happened.
That is not the point you made, Trump helped attack Iran, and has spend way way more resources attacking Iran and protecting Israel than Israel themselves have. Kamala Harris would guaranteed not have followed Israel into a war against Iran.
No he is not, what he is is a psychopath with no morals, he is just as much like Hitler as Trump is, and Kamala Harris is definitely not like Hitler.
That's a pretty stupid statement given the current circumstances are directly contrary to what he planned.
