This whole thing hurts my head. Looking past even if we should or shouldn't be there, I swear every other article is "war!" "Cease fire!" "War!". I've never seen anything so flip floppy.

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.

That or he's living in a fantasy land where he thinks he can manifest a resolution to this by publicly declaring that's the case and then when Iran corrects him he goes back to threats. Rinse, wash, repeat.
When it relates to manipulating the market, it all makes sense 📈📉📈
I see the ceasefire is going well. I mean as long as nobody knows what ceasefire means.
Can't think of the last time this world saw a ceasefire cease fire.
"You cease, we fire."
The Korean ceasefire has been more cease than it has been fire.
Though there has been fire, so not a complete success.
Oh, true, true. I think that's one we can put forward to the panel of aliens willing to share their tech if they ever appear.
"See? Some times we're not complete savages."
alien noises of doubt
Ah, the old "art of the deal"..
- Start with a deal that, though imperfect, all sides agree on
- Break that deal while pitching a childish fit
- Spend trillions trying to get back to the initial deal
The brilliance is staggering.
...so what exactly has been accomplished during the 4 week war, then?
The rich got richer
We’re going to see a lot of small cheap and empty boats launched into the sea, only to blown up with billions of dollars of ordinance.
What's funny is that in a war game done by us generals in the past for a situation with a war with Iran, this was the exact strategy the US general did at the time to defeat the US Navy - a bunch of small boarding vessels armed with bombs launched at boats and aircraft carriers in order to deplete their ammo (along with small slow moving mini subs with big explosives that would be missed by radar especially with the focus being on the slightly bigger cheaper surface boats).
This was in the 2000s if I remember right.
And yet, that exact mistake is being done now lol
Iran will prefer drone attacks today. They've also used a drone mini boat to set a Kuwait tanker on fire that probably sunk.
that exact mistake is being done now lol
US navy is staying far away from SoH or Iran coast.
Anyone calling this blob a "man" is a joke. Useless pedo is a generous title.
He also lied that US is doing mine clearing operations in the SoH. Iran has so far not needed to mine SoH. They have cannons that can do it, as well as modified shahed drones that just drop in the water and float. It's an easy setup to declare mission accomplished. Entire Persian Gulf will also not have any mermaids either.
Good! If we do that then MAYBE we can Open the Strait like Exactly how it was BEFORE Trump decided to Attack Iran!
