news
Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I told the lib I work with that if any country was likely to be nuked, it would be Iran; the 'international community'
would AT BEST finger wag at America but honestly wouldn't give a damn beyond that, and why? Because no one likes Iran, that's why they've tacitly agreed that it's basically not possible to commit war crimes against them (which reminds me of a video I saw of an Israeli complaining about Iran's retaliation, claiming Israel didn't start it with Iran, and then quickly following up with that no one even likes Iran). Also secondly the nation most likely to do so would be America.
A few years back the guy (who is unfortunately on reddit FAR too much) was actually asking me if I think Putin might start a nuclear war with America if they happened to lose the war with Ukraine; he actually was asking if I believed Putin would be petty enough to start a nuclear war (yes, he actually specifically mentioned the cause being that Putin was going to be petty). Reddit literally infects people with brain worms.
