World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

I doubt they can beat the US, but I hope Iran wins.
Terrorists like Israel need to be eliminated.
I'd rather prefer both sides losing.
And then a proper democratic revolution on both sides again.
Yes please! I can't stand either regime.
Only both of those? Shouldn't the united snake and china both lose too?
Lemmy straight up cheering theocratic terrorists
Israel, Iran, or the US?
Yes.
The Iranian regime is fucking awful, the Israeli one is just even more awful such that Iran still seem like the good guys in comparison. Its like two assholes fighting, they're both assholes but one clearly started it.
Yeah it's crazy how just last year Iranian girls were being raped the Iran's government and now these trolls are acting as if Iran is better than Israel lmao.
Israel been raping palestinians girls since it's creation
Most likely a fucking idiot.
Do you really want Iran to have nukes though?
Just because Israel are horrible, doesn't automatically make the people they're fighting the good guys.
Honestly no but if I lived in a country or bloc without nukes myself I'd want my government to get them because its the only way to not get randomly regime changed whenever the US, UK or Russia feels like it. Totally understandable why they would want them.
Was Iran actually producing nuclear weapons?
Iran has multiple enrichment sites, with a reported 83.7% pure U-235. Such purity is only needed for one thing, and it isn't nuclear power plants which typically only need 3%-5% U-235.
Haleu fuel is pretty common that’s enriched up to about 20%. Highly enriched fuel is still used for nuclear power on aircraft carriers that use 93% enriched U235.
Iran is definitely just trying to make weapons but wanted to at least give some examples of higher enriched fuels
Being that we know Iran sells weapons to Russia, I wonder where it would be cheaper to produce weapons. Would it be cheaper for Russia to pay to have certain things created elsewhere or in Russia. We know a lot of Russia's weapons in the past were built in what now is Ukraine. Examples would be their Aircraft Carriers, destroyers, etc. Hell one of their main Aircraft Carriers was named Kiev
Every credible comment I've read says they're in the process of developing them, the only group who says otherwise is Iran themselves.
Iran has the right to defend themselves. Without nukes, they're going to end up like Iraq, Libya, or the countless other countries that Israel and the US felt like destroying. They're champing at the bit to smash Iran to pieces and it's not going to stop at limiting nuclear capabilities.
Hasn't Iran a religious edict stating they cannot build or use nukes? We could be in a iraki WMD phase again (expecting Powell's jar to appear any moment now).
given how the US lost so many recent wars, I wouldn't consider the US a military power.
they are great at funneling taxpayer money to shareholders pockets. but they can't win against the protest people in the world.
they invade, try to set up a puppet state, then leave with the tail between their legs.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.
Ironically, many have tried (so now we know the result. And the proverb)...
This. People don't like it when I say the US is a Paper Tiger. uS power doesn't come from its military strength but from its economic strength.
If pushed hard, it would crumble. The only reason the US has military bases all over is to scare those countries into submission to exploit their workforce. Yet, all those bases are fucking expensive to just maintain. If those countries resisted, then the US loses its economic strength gained from their exploitation, and its military crumbles when it cannot afford to satisfy both it's military contracts and maintain its presence abroad.
Not to mention the internal turmoil when the citizens experience the affects on society when the oligarchy can't subsidize the consumerist lifestyle anymore. Thought that's happening already thanks to the imperial boomerang.
you taught me the term "paper tiger" thanks.
You are welcome, prehistoric arthropod from the Cambrian period.
Give me whatever it is you're smoking cause it's probably a helluva drug.
The only way that "Iran" can win is if/when the people overthrow the Supreme Dictator
Israel is the US
It's really hard to think china won't intervene for economical interests
