Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.


7. No duplicate posts.


If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners.


The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body

Man, my 2023 bingo card is shot to hell.

Did you get Canada vs India on yours? That one really came out of left field

I mean it would be crazy to send aircraft carriers to the region without discussing what you would be willing to do with them. Doesn't mean they decided to do it.

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I say we stop sending aircraft carriers and start sending care-craft carriers!

Right, guys!?

USNS Comfort is fueled and ready. She's probably pierside though, with no intentions of getting underway.

We didn't get directly involved when Russia invaded Ukraine. Why would we get directly involved over Hezbollah!?

[–] sik0fewl@kbin.social 14 points 1 year ago

Because Hezbollah does not have nukes.

There are hundreds of US personnel in Syria.

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

There are 35k U.S. personnel in Germany, 10k in Poland, etc...

Oh. How are they doing? Having fun I hope.

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

They're good. Just thinkin'.

[–] ChrisLicht@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

Nice. Cheaper flights.

I would think the White House discusses the U.S. military response to all kinds of situations during wars.
