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.

Well those two have as many years of military service as brain cells, so I'm sure this will end well.
kushners braincell is held by mossad and israel.
Israel is calling the shots. America is going bankrupt for Israel.
Well yes and no: while Israel IS dictating the US middle east policy, the US is going bankrupt for billionaires' tax breaks; destruction of previously well-functioning government agencies including but far from limited to the IRS, FEMA, CFPB, HHS, NIH; and "immigration enforcement" reminiscent of Nazi Germany AS WELL as for those wars.
Seems they get final say on all policy between AIPAC and all the blackmail they've stored up since the 80s
"I should be allowed to destroy the country if I want" - Donald Trump not even a week ago
This fucker is going to get 1000s of sailors killed. The 2002 war game showed how inadequate the navy is prepared for asymmetrical warfare
Oh, come on, that's ridiculous. That was 24 years ago. The New Modern Navy has done great in the Middle East. It was just a few months ago the the USS Gettysburg shot down an enemy F-18 and almost got his wingman. They even managed to almost splash a Sea King helo that was entirely to close to the ship! This Navy is definitely prepared, and I'm sure nothing will go wrong.
Remember when they dropped a plane into the sea? Twice.

Psh..What's a Growler even cost? Like $10?
Considering Trump wants to give the Pentagon 500 billion dollars more, they could afford another 8000 of them.
they were donating reefs to the sea.
Which is FAFO on the sailors’ part. The thing that’s outrageous is the civilians who will be murdered.
trump, like his father, and his fathers father think servicemembers are "suckers and losers"
I mean, if they're following orders from this piece of shit and kegsbreath in the name of Israel, maybe they are. Big difference in fighting for your country and killing for tyrannical whim. Just because you bare the title soldier doesn't make you impervious to criticism, despite the sacrifice it requires either way.
I cannot think of a single more qualified crew to start a fucking war with such random precision.
It's like the really off-label A team.
Only Witkoff and serial-child-killer-eyes Kushner are more unqualified than Hogsweat and this is being left to them? My left nutsack would be better than all 3.
These assholes are going to launch the atta k during the SOTU. Trump will say something like efforts are underway to turn this into a TikTok moment.
atta k
I feel weird that I read this correctly. hehe
But now that you mention it, I wonder if they'll launch during the rebuttal. :|
The blind leading the blind is too kind of a characterization
Is that the same Jarad Kushner that just lost government access in France?
Edit: No - It was his dad.
So the Saudi's decide whether america goes to war or not? /s
Remember, it's not like most of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudi.
Kushners allegiance lies slightly north of Saudi
So basically guaranteed to happen.
So add them to the hit list.
What does the Board of Peace have to say about this?
