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.

It’s not like we have a bunch of cameras pointing to the earth 24/7 to tell the real story /s
There are satellites over the area that are pretty good. They can see the launch and by analysis can identify what was launched. They also can see where the people who launched it came from and where they went to afterwards.
The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is - whichever is greater - it obtains a difference or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviation to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position that it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position that it was is now the position that it isn't.
Thanks. Dunno why you are getting downvoted. Very informative. 😆
Hmm, perhaps audio format might help?

What city/country did they come from and where did they go? First glance looks like a false flag
Who needs trumpers when you have progressives tearing down progressives. The pedantry is astounding
A false flag to do what?
To draw us into the region on a very long time scale, just like the first baseless invasion of Iraq: wow the shills don’t like this summary
We are in the region. That's why they fired rockets at us.
Which Barely answers my first question
The CIA doesn't inform me of their analysis, but it's probably done by now. Unconfirmed reports is that there are US dead. So, just as happened with the 3 dead US troops in Jordan weeks ago, something will happen.
still could be a false flag, just like 9/11 and others.
Did you even read the article? Less than halfway through the article it says.
An Iraqi terrorist organization sponsored by Iran literally claimed responsibility for the attack.
It could be aliens, you know that though
It can't be. The aliens gave a press conference where they denied responsibility.
Did you eat paint chips as a kid?
This isn’t even sea lioning. At best this is otter on meth.
Suck a bag of dicks
You're delusional. Get help.
Criticism yet no answers, still no answers
Mental illness has cooked you son.
Hey this isn't cotton eyed joe
There aren't enough spy satellites to cover the entire planet all the time. They have prescribed and predictable orbits. If the attacker is a bit sophisticated, they could even time the attack to make sure there are no satellites around when they do it. The orbits aren't exactly public knowledge, but it's not something that can be hidden, either. There's a whole amateur community out there for tracking them. But even if the attacker didn't time it, it's not likely they'd be noticed in a random Iraqi village, anyway.
This is why we still have spy planes. If amateurs can track spy satellites, then so can nation states. They have a use, but they're a little too predictable. But a spy plane won't be watching every Iraqi village, either.
Thank you for the knowledgeable response
How do we know you’re really Cuttlefish1111? Maybe you’re a government plant who’s just trying to make us think that Cuttlefish1111 is an idiot, so we won’t trust him! Which is more likely, Cuttlefish1111 saying something really stupid or the government conspiring against him? First glance I think the answer is obvious.
As a flying squid, I can tell you that is no cuttlefish. They all speak Norwegian and they're monolingual. It's really annoying. You have to float there with a translator app if you need anything...
Yes, yes. Everything is a false flag.
