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.
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.

Are news outlets even fucking real at this point? How can they seriously post shit like this when everyone has been witness to the last 4 months? It's like putting out an article every day that the sun is considering setting and then putting a new one out every night saying it's considering rising.
Trump has been flip-flopping on Iran CONSTANTLY for 4 months. Sometimes multiple times in the same day. A few times even in the same sentence. This isnt a news story, it's a fucking joke
This is the Jerusalem post, so they definitely are just propaganda’ing
Probably because a) Netanjahu made him to, and b) it is a good distraction from his other crimes.
I’m doubtful the plan would involve flooding the military with leftist draftees. That’s a good way to set up the first US military coup.
The dude who bankrupted multiple casinos was given a blank cheque with tax payer dollars, what do we expect is going to happen?
mans never could take an L
It’s the Epstein Effect in action. He’s bought by Israel.
Probably just tryibg to avoid hide Epstein news. Sadly it's working.
He's gonna try, no doubt.
Already, he knows the November elections are lost, and for him personally, that means there's nothing to lose. From his perspective, he might as well go balls to the wall before he loses Congress and it becomes marginally harder to grift and functionally impossible to rule by decree.
Iran is not going to hand him the victory he wants and nor are they going to bribe his family the way other nations have. He's a spoiled, stupid child who thought he could order up a victory like a Big Mac, and in doing so, he fucked with the wrong country.
Already, he knows the November elections are lost,
i suspect he knows something you don't, like .... he's already counted the votes. and knows the GOP has won, after all if they don't win, the election has been rigged, so they must have won already.
He has been itching to drop a nuke since 2016, this will be it and then when Americans start protesting, ICE will make protesting “lunatic left terrorists" disappear and testosterone induced rage will make US soldiers happily open fire on US civilians.
We broke tho.
Sounds like fodder for the cannons.
