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.

Wreckage is the ultimate test.
If there is doubt about a particular strike, comb the wreckage. The flying product looks the same, but motors and electrical parts are different, the way of laminating fiberglass, the sort of fiberglass, etc.
Already read speculation Isreal was behind launching some of them to try an draw in more countries and while it's unproven, to me it sounds like a very Isreali kind of thing to do.
didn't the US just outright say they had copies of Shahed drones early on? I remember when it started they'd annouced on the news they'd blown something up with copies of Iran's 'suicide drones' and wondered why they bothered to clone them when they have so many other options.
I think I saw a news report saying that myself.
He's more trustworthy than the other two so..
I mean, is he? This is a good tactic to cause division and mistrust among US allies in the region.
It’s going to be very interesting to see how Americans react when there’s a false flag attack in our own country
Putin very likely blew up apartments buildings in Russia to create necessary context for his illiberal policies. So there's precedent...
I seriously anticipate a large false flag on the US this year, probably sometime around September or October
Iran: We will continue to attack our neighbors if they aid the US to attack us
Also Iran: We didn't attack our neighbors.

They did not say, they didnt attack!
I mean this (truthfulness aside) allows them to claim some attacks and reject others while also discrediting Israel (and by extension America). There's no contradiction here.
