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.

Must be nice to have your taxes pay for something useful instead of guns and war like us.
The US will keep paying to protect NATO countries so we can fight wars there instead of here.
Unless trump wins.
CIA hit incoming.
On who?
Well, Trump for fucking with NATO too much.
Idk that the CIA really bothers assassinating fascists anymore... Or ever. Like there was one time in Korea but they really just gave a Korean CIA guy moral support.
They're into NATO at least. The US having reach is helpful.
The US can't afford it. Maybe if we cut government spending in half. They're out of control and everyone is suffering because they're destroying the value of the dollar. This issue (but not all) ready is a both sides problem.
Europe is a nuclear power with second strike capability. „Practically disarmed„ is rather different
France has repeatedly tried to hand over shared control of those nukes to Germany. I’d argue that this alliance is set in stone.
Our military spending is not preventing us from having free college or free healthcare. Both would save us money if we switched to 100% government funded systems. No amount of military spending is preventing us from saving money.
Those can also be useful, the problem is we're choosing not to do both.
What's useful about funding foreign wars, and coups?
War does drive a lot of scientific development.
I'm so glad we kill strangers then... you know, for science.
It used to be free in Australia but then after the politicians all got their free education they decided the country couldn't afford it anymore.
To be fair the new system is still pretty reasonable but it used to be totally free.
Ahhh, boomers. They got their uni education for the price of a McChicken and still ended up as some of the dumbest and most selfish motherfuckers on the planet.
