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.

I heard a rumor that somebody got disfigured in this war, but man, it's more horrible than I had imagined.
He should have add that all this is for protecting the children, that "always" works.
Let me get this straight. FIRST we rape them, THEN we bomb them, THEN we protect them?
Did I get that right?
You know what the left wing media isn't being positive enough about? Kittens. They're fucking great and hardly ever in the mainstream news. War? Yeah, I don't think that's a real positive topic guys. Compare it to kittens if you have any doubts about it. Putting a positive spin on war is probably worse than polishing a turd.
The Mythbusters did actually polish turds, yet I have never seen them say anything positive about war (shooting stuff and blowing shit up is awesome, undeniably, but only when it’s for peaceful science.) so I’m gonna’ go ahead and say myth confirmed.
Lol. Hegseth me boy, first you lash out because you don't like how your face looks in the papers. Now you don't like how your war looks like in the papers. Tough luck.
the man cares a lot about his image for someone who is an absolute prick.
“The United States is decimating the radical Iranian regime’s military in a way the world has never seen before,”
he said, masturbating furiously.
Can someone please make this creep take a cold shower before doing these briefings?
Holy shit, if you add that to the end of everything they say it starts to make sense!
The entire administration is made up of ridiculously insecure men flexing to themselves in the mirror.
It's a real shame we have to put up with these jokes for a few years. Hopefully the world bounces back like it did after WW2.
Never forget this fucking loser is also a war criminal that must face justice.
Hate it when uncle Pete drinks.
Aww did someone hurt Petey’s fee fees? Aww.
Rear Echelon Mother Fucker
He operates under the US constitution ? Press freedom?
I guess creep guy wishes US was more like a dictatorship…
He’s still facing possible war crime charges for multiple reasons.
“The United States is decimating the radical Iranian regime’s military in a way the world has never seen before,” Hegseth told reporters.
Trump and Hegseth make me think of Harbinger (from Mass Effect): https://masseffect.fandom.com/wiki/Harbinger_(Collector)/Battle_Quotes
“This hurts you.”
“This is true power.”
“The forces of the universe bend to me.”
Yeah, this is a war they can't sell.
Aww, does the fragile little snowflake need a safe space?
Again the real headlines aren’t saying is: EPSTIEN FILES AND ACCOUNTABILITY of elected officials
Go home ~~Lahey~~ Hegeseth you’re drunk
