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.

Can easily but should not.
It’s a stupid fucking idea.
Okay, now compare it to the idea of Canada as the 51st state next? Which will Trump act on first, or is this just talk about annexation?
That's also a stupid idea. Don't know what you were trying to accomplish by bringing that up.
Both are related in the deployment of military forces in other countries. So lets compare the stupidity of the idea, which is worse? Or both are equal in their stupidity? I guess since Canada has a smaller population concentrated only at the US border it would be less difficult than Mexico in a shooting war for the US. Since Trump is "commander in chief" of the armed force I guess he could order such invasions? Would the military follow the order because of the law and command hierarchy? asking for a friend
They are both monumentally, America-ending levels of stupid.
Starting an armed conflict with either country would result in the dissolution of NATO (Europe would cut all ties with America militarily), have thousands of soldiers taken as POWs by European forces at the Euro bases, Result in massive "terrorist" attacks across America because Mexican or Canadian people (or sympathisers) are invisible in American Society, (Just look to how Russia got torn apart trying to occupy Ukraine because they couldnt tell friend from foe due to language and culture similarities)
and it would be a clear and concrete signal to anyone who dissents the Trump regime that The Republican party and Trump are enemies of the state, and they'd have no option left but to kill or be killed.
the world is already a tinderbox thats close to blowing thanks to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Israel trying to settle every score it can before Bibi loses power, and various other shitstorms, and you're questioning which of the two grenades will cause a smaller explosion of said tinderbox?
I think you underestimate the power of the Central Intelligence Agencies, they can achieve any mission on any continent. Using space technology, like Starlink satellites 🛰, they can command the globe.
Cool bro. the CIA has nothing to do with the domestic problem in America.
