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.
It's important when selling a product to collect user feedback and real-world test results.
ha, what are they going to do about it?! not sell their human killing weapons abroad?!
Likely, either apply diplomatic pressure to the saudis and get them to stop doing these things to migrants or restrict what weapons they can purchase. Or other diplomatic consequences.
The Saudis know we need their oil, they don't give a shit. The way we pander to them is pathetic & they know it.
Yet another reason to move away from fossil fuels as fast as possible.
Oil has nothing to do with it directly, but more the price of oil. OPEC has a huge influence on the global oil price.
The US is actually a net exporter of oil now, and Saudi Arabia makes up only 7% of the imports we do make. Canada is by far our biggest source of imports at 60%, followed by Mexico at 10%.
This wasn’t true before 2020 which is why you’ve seen Biden making more moves like this. We don’t need them as much now.
We do still maintain a diplomatic alliance with them to have access to the Persian Gulf though.
The United States is a net oil exporter. What we want to do is keep them from getting nuclear weapons so that when their economy collapsed, terrorist groups don't get H-bombs
What if they used American planes to kill Americans?
has it always been "name of president administration" in headlines rather than US government? or is this just a recent trend? or is there a difference between the two?
It's always been that way. Some government officials are unelected and therefore not attached to any administration, this is called the "deep state". But generally administration and government are used interchangeably.
Why do you need a investigation?
America makes the most weapons out of any country.
So many attacks can be linked to American weapons.
He knows the answer to this already. I suppose we must go through the motions to pretend it matters to us, though.
