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.

Ok... And?
Is this one of those posts?
You know which ones.
The kind where America is expected to go solve everyone's problems because no one else will. But the same people who would love to see the US solve the world's problems, also condemns the US every time it interferes in some other country's internal affairs.
Nowhere on the article is mentioned the United States. You're the one bringing an America centric discourse and acting like you're the victim.
That's because everyone loooooves to beg and plead the US to solve all their problems, pay all their bills, fix this, dethrone that.
People like you are the ones that embarrass the rest of us. Stfu.
And nothing. It's a world news sub. Articles about world news.
There doesn't have to be a hidden message to you.
No we want America to stay at home. The last time they funded radical groups in Syria, in their illegal and failed attempt to unseat the Asad regime, the result was a deluge of refugees in Europe. Nobody wants this kind of help.
We WANT to stay home but that doesn't stop every mistreated and spoiled group out there begging for American intervention. Lord knows no one can count on the UN or any of the European countries to do anything. They can barely help their own fellow European neighbor after it was invaded. With friends like that...
We got involved in Syria so John Kerry could have a legacy after losing and to get a pipeline built. Like all Middle East adventures the goals were not achieved.
What the other guy said, but also, last time Mali had this problem flair up just a few years ago France did the intervention.
The US should never have involved itself in Syria.
We should never have gotten involved in anything in the Middle East. We did because of oil and Israel.
Well, the current government in Mali is the result of a military coup. The previous, elected government was friendly with France, and the new, military coup crowd is friendly with Russia.
Then when the coup guys decided that they didn't need to hold elections when they said they would, they got condemned by the US.

So I vaguely imagine that said government probably isn't asking the US to become involved, because the US's position is that they should have held elections.
