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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.

There seems to be confirmation from various sources.
It's stupid. Because of what a dozen terrorists did, a country of 1.4 billion and 250 million people risk getting into a war.
Actually, the attacks targeted multiple terrorist camps. The Markaz Toiba, Muridke camp alone is responsible for 176 deaths, including 26 foreign nationals from 2008. But I agree, war is stupid.
I suspect they might low key want a war excuse anyway
Pakistan is now attacking military targets in India and the rhetoric is growing increasingly hostile. I hope cooler heads prevail but my optimism is fading.
Don't worry they will send Secretary of State,Arcivist of the United States,National Security Advisor, and USAID Head Marco "How Many Jobs Do I Have Now?" Rubio to fix things!
Easy Peasy!!
He's basically Jared from the first Trump term
Its Little Marco™
Hes compact enough to toss over walls. He might get a little thirsty at times though.
You worry to much. I assure you cooler heads will prevail.
There were studies done, 20, 30, maybe as far back as 40 or 50 years ago that concluced that even a couple hundred nuclear weapons detonated anywhere on earth, in a nuclear war, would doom most life on earth in the fallout and aftermath.
and said study was specifically focusing on India and Pakistan blowing each other up. and how it'd affect everyone else.
So pessimistic. India and Pakistan are going to launch a couple bombs at each other and that'll be it. All will be well.
Remember: I am guaranteed to be correct on India and Pakistan not escalating to nukes in the event anyone can suitably verify my prediction to be true or false.
that wasnt the point I was trying to make, it was that worrying about China and America, or Russia and NATO fighting shouldnt be peoples only concerns, a totally unrelated tantrum between Indo-Pak is just as deadly to someone in Paris, St Petersburg, or Chicago
Have any two official nuclear powers ever gone to war?
Yes, India and Pakistan in 1999. Both sides refrained from using nukes
