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.

Even the US Military is unwilling to sign off on Trump's bullshit.
The US military is very Trump-opposed. A lot of the "top brass"continue to resign as time goes on. Unfortunately, it is against their entire code to unalign to the Commander In Chief and I highly doubt a military coup would ever happen in the US, at least in these current situations.
Top brass might still be mostly opposed, but every time one of the same ones resigns they're replaced by a lunatic.
If you’re lucky, they retire you. The UCMJ is brutal. No semi-sane person wants to rot in Leavenworth.
Resigning is not enough. It's actually breaking the oath you take to protect Americans. What's with these worthless military officers?
The pathological liar known for lying about anything and everything is lying? Nooooo, really!?!!??
Wait, the same 'person' that has a list of numerous different websites showing his thousands of different blatant lies just upped and lied again?
Phew, I'm surely glad the us population decided to give that 'person' lots of cash and power!!!
Quartermaster Clerk: One credit card receipt for Swedish-made penis enlarger signed by Austin Powers.
Austin Powers: I'm telling ya baby, that's not mine.
Ah, the classic "false flag" operation, clearly antifa are responsible because a real military wouldn't leave their name all over the evidence, then lie and attempt to cover it up using the fart fog of war!
Number one: I am utterly surprised to see that he didn't say it was Biden's fault. Although, we are still early in his bullshit-a-thon of lies. Number two: if Tomahawks are generic and "many" countries have them, why don't you sell a bunch to Ukraine? Zelinsky would empty the couch cushions to by a few dozen tomahawks.
Either heavily sanctioned Iran has a secret stash of smuggled functional Tomahawks or they don't. It's not that complicated
Clearly they've been sitting on them since Ollie North sold them some in the 80s.
Well, let's be fair here. Could still have been Israel, since they get a lot of their weapons from the US.
Bombing schools is Israel's national hobby, after all.
