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.

Oh, is it that time of the month already?
For anyone who doesn't know, this stuff happens all the time. It's extremely routine, to the point where it doesn't even get press coverage most of the time.
It's not, like, good that Russia routinely tests NORAD response times. But it's also not an indication of any sudden escalation. They're just sampling data, like they always do.
Yeah, the only time it gets press coverage is when they want to stoke fear to support war. Russia does it to us, we do it to them just as much. And same with China too.
Good thing they’ve relocated most of the already overstretched and aging AWACS assets up in Alaska to the Middle East so we can get ready to bomb the shit out of Iran for no fucking reason 🙄
Hey, look this is serious geopolitical stuff here, you don't know what you are talking about. Iran was JUST ABOUT to develop nuclear weapons, they were hardly TWO WEEKS AWAY when we bombed them before, we just barely saved democracy across the planet by bombing their facilities and randomly killing some unrelated nuclear scientists or something (who really cares about the details?).
No we are going to do it again, and Iran is going to be doubly as free as it was before!
Does any of this connect to reality or rationality? No and I am offended you would accuse me of it!
Hold on a sec Bibi is calling me..
Wow. This is the most: "read more than the headline" article ive ever seen. So much so that this article is almost straight up fear mongering and nothing more. We are all dumber for having read the headline
