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.

Couple of scumbag murderers and no integrity, no honor among thieves and all that.
sounds like something big is going down within the next 36 hours.. US embassies are evacuating staff and families in saudi Arabia and embassy families in Jordan, UAE, Bahrain, and Jordan. So we're going to bomb/invade either Yemen or Iran. Since Israel has an election coming up, my money is on Iran.
Not until after mid terms
Hopefully, Ukraine has drones waiting to take out any Russian...or heck, American, oil freighters in the region. Trump is a traitor, and any military or civilian forces who obeys his will, are also traitors. He has ignored Congress, declaring wars and deciding international relations without our authority.
He and his kind are Dogey Confederates, and have renounced being American by their actions.
That raises an interesting logistics question - is it worth making cheaper per unit naval drones, or better to just scale up quadcopters and focus on attacking oil production?
Probably a case of diminishing returns. There is only so many observation and attack units in a given theater that you can deploy, before the enemy starts catching onto the idea of what your strategy is, what numbers you can field, and begin placing assets of their own.
Personally, I think the ratio should be higher for quadcopters and other land-oriented drone units. The ocean is big and usually empty, with the odd concentration of highly valuable targets. If I were to decide how to approach things, I would make the naval drones relatively few, high quality, and stealthy, interdicting key zones of travel and transit. Land territories have to deal with much greater randomness, so you need a greater mix of disposable assets.
I hope Ukraine destroys it.
keep targeting the datacenters too.
Just to show |Trump who's boss?
Till after the midterms. lol. I mean really it's about 1 day's worth of usage by the US. Mostly this is about getting a cash infusion for Puti's war against Ukraine. smh. Remember those signs from MAGA, "I'd rather be a Russian than a Democrat." ? Pepperidge Farms remembers.
Putin loves making his pay pig wait.
he knows how to make him squel like one. just show the files to him everytime he steps out of line.
Surely one day Donny's dementia will have him reach the stage where he simply shouts, "Fake news" at Putin, and refuse to believe he could ever be compromised?
Donald surely has a humiliation kink.
if Putin is USA president does that make AMeircans Russians now?
The Art of the Deal^TM^
Saw someone reading that on the tube just a few hours ago
Hey, no shame in trying to unterstand your enemy. Since it's been written by a ghostwriter it might even contain coherent sentences.
Yea, I’ve read Mein Kampf (not in public though) to see what I was missing.
Spoiler
I didn’t miss anything, he’s an incoherent megalomaniac idiot.
It's somewhere in my parents basement. My dad has read it for that reason. I would feel dirty just opening the book lol
No reason to feel dirty for reading it as long as you don't agree with it.
But it's not worth reading unless you need to for some reason (like studying history and/or politics). It's badly written racist drivel, you're not gonna get any insights out of it and you won't learn anything you didn't already know.
I used that book cover to hide my porn magazines but people looked at me like I was viewing porn in public!
Bets on a false-flag detonation and blaming Ukraine?
So Puti get's the money, and then the goods get blown? smh.
This was the first thing that came to mind. Then I thought, Ukraine is going to get blamed anyway, I hope they can keep that boat from making the trip one way or another
Send Western Union additional $10M for transfer fee. Then go buy $50M in Apple Gift cards and send them numbers to my tech support guy Sanjay. The oil is coming soon.
And then the diesel fails quality inspection and is sent back.
its also 1-2 hrs worth of diesel for the us, the other week was half a day.
Yeah, raise the price by dollars then make the worst deal possible to give a few cent discount and expects everyone to applaud this genius move.
If bad fuel gets into vehicles and they stall, some stations get shut down and prices rise because of local shortages and people everywhere else panic buying making things worse.
~~is sent back.~~ is sold to unsuspecting drivers
Absolutely no one on Earth could have predicted this outcome. We're all truly shocked and appalled.
Trump: “what if I throw in the Baltic States as a bonus?”
But, but... Witkoff just got done gargling his balls!
Guess he didn't do a great job.
I’m sure we’ll get it right alongside Trumps tax returns
And THE TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES, no doubt.
No hurry. Take your time.
Its like trying to fart on queue amidst a blizzard. When it eventually makes it's way out, it'll be unnoticed.
Part of the deal is Ukraine stopping attacks on Russian oil targets. So obviously Trump hasn't done his part of the deal, but when does he?
What is this elusive deal that sees Ukraine stopping its attacks on oil infrastructure that you are talking about?
It's the one where Trump announced that Russia and Ukraine had agreed a ceasefire on each other's energy infrastructure. A ceasefire that Russia and Ukraine both immediately denied existed or was in effect. When a reporter asked Trump about the energy-infrastructure ceasefire and where/how it had been negotiated, he literally said something to the effect of, "It exists because I said it exists, I just declared it."
Yes, but that "cease fire" was not part of the energy deal Trump made with Putin. So tying the two together is inaccurate.
