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.

Is there any possible scenario where US doesnt get involved here?
Both sides taking the off-ramp, returning to the shadow war, and not attacking each other directly.
Yeah, this is going back to saber-rattling. Let's hope it stays there. On both sides.
So, the smart move for Iran is to go heads down till they have their nukes ready, which should be soon.
Israel has their hands full, and honestly probably can't stop Iran in any meaningful way, what they really want is the US to get deeply involved, which I'm sure is what Trump promised them.
Both sides continue to launch weak and ineffective attacks on each other.
Unless there's boots on the ground in Israel, then US won't get involved. At most they'll just support Israel and shield them. This war is way too unpopular in America as it is right now.
Not enough unpopular to make differences, but it's definitely a hot topic of discussion, or not talking about, for fear of being labeled. Meanwhile we're still doing what we've always done. It's almost like it goes much deeper than who is the President...
It is incredibly unpopular. Over 2/3rds of Americans support enforcing a ceasefire. That number will only go up if American troops start coming under fire. The only reason this isn't changing much is because a significant majority of Americans are voting Harris just because of how scared they are of Trump. If this race were between two genuine candidates and not what it is now, Harris would have lost a lot more votes.
If any of the two candidates was a real electable candidate (like not even anything amazing, just 2020 Biden level of electable) they'd win by a land slide. Instead y'all have this clown show.
What do you mean, every single rocket Israel send is American.
Yeah but Israel needs US boots on the ground. When this shit blows back, they need to ensure that our name is right next to theirs.
I don't know where they think america is going to find idiots to die for this... but they sure are trying to make this JUST US AND us DOING A GENOCIDE TOGETHER LIKE REAL BROS
I wish we had an electoral option to tell Israel to get bent.
Unfortunately both sides are in on the conspiracy.
you can always write in jesus, if neither party is satisfactory
At minimum, the US will be involved indirectly. US has too much to lose if Iran takes a lead in the war.
Is that supposed to be a joke?
How, in hell, would Iran take a lead?
Israel has f35s, useful aa defenses, and Iran isn't on their border.
At the very worst for Israel, if they aren't interested it's a draw, more likely a few f35s drop jdams on important buildings, maybe even destroy power generating if they really want to be assholes.
Don't think a few hundred shaheds is going to do it here, 50kg of semtex only goes so far.
