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.

Among the locations highlighted is the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, the headquarters of the US Department of Defense and a central symbol of American military power.

Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia was also identified. It is the largest naval base in the world and hosts the highest concentration of US Navy forces, with tens of thousands of personnel and constant air operations.

Other facilities mentioned include Kings Bay Naval Base in Georgia, a key hub for US Navy submarines, and several major Air Force bases tied to America’s nuclear deterrent.

These include Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, home to the 2nd Bomb Wing, and Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, where the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber is stationed.

US Strategic Command, which oversees nuclear deterrence and cyber defence, has also been cited, along with communications sites such as the VLF Array Lualualei in Hawaii, used to transmit orders to submerged submarines.

Cold War echoes Further locations named in past broadcasts include Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota, Malmstrom Air Force Base in Montana and Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming.

These bases are all linked to intercontinental ballistic missile operations.

Russian state TV presenter Dmitry Kiselyov previously went even further, referring to defunct installations such as Fort Ritchie in Maryland and McClellan Air Force Base in California, as well as Camp David, the US presidential retreat.

While the Kremlin has issued only ambiguous official nuclear threats, experts say the messaging reflects a deliberate attempt to revive Cold War-style pressure on Washington.

The Hexagon is where the real plans are made.

for a second I thought you were talking about France, and no, we don't make plans here

That's exactly what someone who makes plans would say.

Is it a Hexagon now with Space Force? The memes can't even keep up with reality.
