"WHAT?"
"Clean me. I've done another whoopsy. It stinks."
"NO, clean up your own mess."
"OMG, THIS IS SO UNFAIR. I'M GOING TO HOLD A PRESS CONFERENCE TO TELL THE WORLD HOW YOU WON'T CLEAN UP MY SHIT!"

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.

He wanted the war, he can go out and fight it
Send his son to Iran
Unlikely, he’s a draft dodger.
Everyone should if necessary. He's a shit person for many ancillarily reasons.
but its not a war. And the DOW!
The funny thing is that, with a sensible foreign and alliance policy, many of these countries would probably have actually helped with US Imperialism, like they did in the past. Take Iraq, for example. But if you treat all your allies like shit and as submissive military service, the governments of those countries simply have no choice but to reject, if they don’t want to be voted out. I’m sure, for instance, that my country’s ruling party, the CDU in Germany, was really keen on it.
Aw, poor baby.
Madlad whines that other people don't want to engage in his bullshit. What a surprise...
"We will protect them, but they will do nothing for us, in particular, in a time of need."
I thought the US already destroyed 100% of the Iranian military? If I were an ally, it would sound to me like the help is not needed as there is no military remaining to fight.
Like how the US protected Ukraine when it gave up its nukes, trusting that the West and NATO would protect them if Russia decided to invade?
I know, that invasion began between Orange Man's two terms, but still. The US in general needs to STFU about how it supposedly protects the world, they dropped the ball bigtime there.

Apparently Iran is being dishonest by keeping the strait closed after they've already lost the war.

I think NATO should send some help. I was thinking of a container loaded with fire extinguishers, sleeping bags and a large stack of "NO SMOKING" stickers. You know, the things they forgot to add to their state-of-the-art carriers?
The U.S. has threatened a founding member of NATO with a war of aggression, and furthermore, the U.S. is committing war crimes alongside the genocidal Israel - this is the situation in which the U.S. is calling for support for a war of aggression that tramples on international law. Or to put it another way: It is the situation that a narcissist - who should have been in prison for decades - has brought about with what he calls the "Art of the Deal." GTFO!

American people could think of it anther way. By not getting involved, other countries are attempting to keep this as a bad idea by Trump and not full on WWIII which would probably be the result if NATO got involved now. What you really need is some adults in the room in the WH who convince Trump that it is his brilliant genius idea to just walk away.

This reminds me of the Suez canal crisis in the 50s, if I recall correctly. That marked the end of the British and French empires.

I started this war now you all need to help me end this war! 🫲🍊🫱
I thought he didn't need Canada for anything?
The USA has its dick in a blender, let's not follow their lead.
The far right criticizes NATO when they either don't do "enough" by their standards (even though NATO is purely a defensive alliance), or "too much" by defending against Russian aggression.
NATO is purely a defensive alliance
Which NATO nation was NATO defending in Yugoslavia in 1999?
Even if NATO wanted to help, it can't. Trump and the US's actions are opposed to the charter. Unlike the Trump government, NATO nations stick to their laws to ensure it doesn't go psycho, rogue, or aggressive.
Countries of NATO may act independently of NATO—under their own banner—but consider how much the US has slandered and abused them, it's looking unlikely.
