Welcome to the News community!

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 biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


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. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


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, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. 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 or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


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


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Most of them ask the US for help. It's not some kind of gotcha, Ukraine would love US troops to shoot down Iranian drones

[–] ABCDE@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Doesn't mean they should go in, like in Vietnam. Nor in Iraq. Nor in Afghanistan. Nor in...

[–] iopq@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They should definitely help Ukraine more. If US had troops deployed in Ukraine prior to the war the outcome would be better than what is happening now.

I'm not sure how that is relevant, nor how that is backed up by any historical examples of US intervention.

South Korea is free because of the US. Everything would be North Korea now if the US did nothing

Assad asked for Iran's help while fighting ISIS and Turkish backed Islamist militants. Whatever you think about it, they are there legally and with the concent of the government in power.

[–] iopq@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So yes, the guy who gasses people asked them

[–] wildbus8979@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

To defend against people who gas people...

But it's irrelevant to the current situation

[–] iopq@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

It's not irrelevant, the whole world is choosing sides

Russia, Assad, Iran + proxies (Houthis, for example) are the "hate America" side
