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.

The guy clearly is intelligent, but there’s one sentence that he probably knows is bull crap, which is that Israel did a ceasefire in Lebanon because it wants to focus on a full blown war with Iran. Chances are Israel probably wants to buddy up with Saudi Arabia and others against Iran, and while Gaza was already a sore spot, Lebanon was probably a big no no when it comes to establishing relations.
I can’t imagine a full-scale war with Iran would end in Israeli victory. Iran’s population is 10 times that of Israel’s. It’s mountainous too. They don’t share a border. There’s no way Israel could do any sort of significant ground invasion even if the IDF wasn’t already stretched thin fighting on multiple fronts.
I’m not saying Iran would be the big “winner.” I’m saying no one would win. Both countries would probably just indiscriminately bomb the shit out of each other and everyone — especially civilians — would be worse off after.
Thats why Israel would like the US to fight the war for it and then get to reap in the gains.
Now hush little American boys! Go die not even for your own corrupt leaders but for other countries corrupt leaders!
I don’t see how they’d manufacture consent domestically for an Iran invasion after the Iraq war, even if Iran is trying to develop nuclear weapons. People alive have watched North Korea develop nukes and nothing has changed much as a result.
What would even Israel gain from attacking Iran? I feel like it's an unlikely scenario.
If they could somehow topple Iran’s regime they would then have removed the main party funding Hezbollah, Hamas, Assad, and the Houthis. That would benefit Israel’s security immensely
Iran is the primary arms supplier of Hezbollah. The Lebanon ceasefire almost certainly got signed off by Iran. They do not have full control over Hezbollah, but they have a large say.
