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.

I have no idea what that is, but I’m skeered.
Some Arma 3 campaign plot thing where there are 2 major blocks in the world by 2035, NATO vs CSAT, the latter, being formed by China, Russia, Iran, Turkey etc. internationally, mainly seen composed of Iranian/Arabic people speaking Persian and having a presence on an independent Mediterranean Island as peacekeeping mission alternative to NATO, but also secretly testing an earthquake device to destabilize the ordinary life on smaller countries to set a precedent for going there on an "aid and peacekeeping" mission.
The closer we get to 2035, the more I feel like Arma 3's timeline can actually be a reality by then.
For the record, and with respect, I blame Miller.
I me ver payed attention to the campaign plot, but are you sure Turkey is CSAT? They’re definitely a NATO country irl
Are they really though?
I'm not exactly sure ATM, but I remember seeing some map in game (as part of the introductory "news" video maybe) that showed Turkey as red along with other CSAT members.
However, I think it falls a bit wrong as well because Altis and Stratis are actually real island directly in the Aegean sea in between Turkey and Greece, so moving them well southwards to be somewhere nearer to Malta would miss out on having these islands at such a critical position if Turkey were in CSAT while the Greece and other Balkan countries are still in NATO.
If Iran had genuinely intended to inflict harm upon Israel, it would have acted within the initial 24 hours following the Hamas incursion. This was when Israel was most vulnerable and disoriented, uncertain of the situation unfolding before it. This window presented the ideal opportunity to deploy Hezbollah for a response, long before the Americans rushed to protect the so called Powerful Israeli army, if they were they would not need protection.
On the same take Israel could have killed off the whole Palestinian population several times over, if they really wanted to. But this doesn’t hinder you to spread the idea that Israel wants to kill all Palestinians, right?
Israel already killed thousands of Palestinians during 75 years of occupation. There is no status-quo and there is no forgetting the RIGHT OF RETURN.
If they killed them all off, then who would they play their sadistic games with?
People tends to forgget that countries are not people with emotions or capacity for decision making.
They are agruparions of people with motivations and ways of thinking highly variants. There are israely people who wants ro lever Palestine? Sure, but there is people who want peace too. At least one of the Hamas atack was pro Palestine. Same with Iran.
The necesities of juggling so many conlicting ideologies make decions way less fast, optimal or consistent that people are comfortable to asume.
So there is now a trend among genocide sympathizer were they exploit a flaw in the site, where they delete their own comment which also deletes from the thread, all your responses to their comment. When they dislike your response to their comment, they delete your response by deleting their comment.
My comments in response to the person that called me a "fucking nazi" for pointing out Israeli war crimes.
Every mother-fucking-time someone points out the fucking despicable evil Israeli state of apartheid for its war crimes, someone brings up fucking Hamas, even when i never fucking did.
Fuck Hamas. Fuck the Israeli state of apartheid. Fuck Fatah. Fuck Islamic Jihad. Fuck the United states of Arrogance the number one sponsor of Israeli terror. Fuck Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iran, Turkey, Malaysia, they are all fucking garbage.
Israel’s Apartheid is a fucking fact!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Hossein Amirabdollahian told reporters in Beirut that Lebanon’s Hezbollah group has taken all the scenarios of a war into consideration and Israel should stop its attacks on Gaza as soon as possible.
Hezbollah fighters have been on full alert along Lebanon’s borders with Israel following last Saturday’s attack by the militant Palestinian group Hamas that left hundreds of Israeli civilians and soldiers dead.
Amirabdollahian discussed during a meeting in Beirut Saturday the situation in Gaza and the region with the top Hamas official in exile, Saleh Arouri, and the leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group, Ziad Nakhaleh, according to Hezbollah’s Al-Manar TV.
With an eye toward Hezbollah, U.S. President Joe Biden has warned other players in the Middle East not to join the conflict and has sent American warships to the region and vowed full support for Israel.
The Iranian foreign minister said he will be contacting U.N. officials in the Middle East because “there is still an opportunity to work on an initiative (to end the war) but it might be too late tomorrow.”
The possibility of a new front in Lebanon brings back bitter memories of a vicious monthlong war between Hezbollah and Israel in 2006 that ended in a stalemate and a tense detente between the two sides.
The original article contains 531 words, the summary contains 212 words. Saved 60%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Please don't involve yourself in the fucking war..
They're already involved. Hamas doesn't get their weaponry from elfs.
their weaponry from elfs.
Hehe nice phrasing
Agreed, we should all stand aside and be quiet while they ethnically cleans Gaza. They are animals after all that deserve to be wiped off the face of the earth right.
I hope this was meant to be sarcastic. If so it doesn't have enough overly self-aware mockery of the position you're aping to make it clear.
Sadly, I thought the /s was obvious. Very sadly I am now seeing with over a million Gaza children now experiencing war crimes, I didn’t expect to see this being anything other than an obvious reprehensible situation. Anyone green lighting apartheid and etheric cleaning is a nazi. Hard stop. Fact.
I thought the phrase "we should all stand aside and be quiet while they ethnically cleanse gaza" should've been enough as well, but the responses proved otherwise :/ It's a shame there are people that will unironically say this.
I am happy to take the upvote for my sarcasm/gaslight. As the husband of a Palestinian, I and am glad some people with a soul struggle to see ethnic cleansing as ok, Seeing Biden/ Cory Booker/ AOC/ Peloci green lighting genicide has jaded me.
That's a fucking horrible thing to say...
So you think that's what I wrote? That's an anazing interpretation of my words. I hope Iran don't get involved. That's what I meant 🥱
You are a disgusting person, but you know that when you look in the mirror, don’t you?
