Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

So far I've heard official statements saying "The goal of this is to bring about Armageddon so that Jesus can return," and "there won't be any stupid rules of engagement." Both from SecDef.
Meanwhile the official white house statement is that "the full scope and duration of military operations" is unknown.
This is literally an act of world sabotage by the doomsday cult in charge of the world's most powerful military...
I'm gonna be sick...
Every American household has a gun, but not a single spine in sight.
Go do something pussy Americans.
You don't understand very much if you think any singular individual with a gun can simply "do something" about the military-industrial complex and militarized police force.
Lone wolf attacks don't accomplish shit but bad PR. Actuality doing something effective would take a level of organization and coordination that doesn't exist and may even be impossible due to the surveillance state and even just the fractured state of american society.
Even a well-ordered movement wouldn't have the firepower to match what they're up against. Virtually limitless federal budget, armored vehicles, a monopoly on everything bigger than a rifle, thousands of centrally-organized personnel.
What's the point of having guns then?
Americans should give up their guns, at least less children will be sacrificed to Baal
You'll have to take that question up with the gun nuts who are actively supporting fascism. I can't speak on their behalf...
You haven't heard of guerilla war? It has worked elsewhere. In fact, it has worked against the US.
I really would prefer it doesn't come to that. However, the midterms will tell the world if that's the only option.
I'm sure the average keyboard warrior will be able to engage in those tactics effectively if it comes to that. And I'm sure that wouldn't just result in even worse devastation on a far greater scale.
Regardless, at least we seem to agree that we should wait and see how midterms play out before taking any drastic measures...
Keyboard warrior who went to Ukraine seems to be holding the line.
Can you elaborate on what you mean by that? Are you suggesting that the above commenter, or someone else online, signed up for the Ukrainian Foreign Legion and has been honorably serving to repel the russian invasion?
Cause if so, good on them. But that doesn't exactly change the dynamic in the US. Ukrainian forces are centrally organized, with material support and intelligence sharing from a coalition of western allies. They have military-grade hardware, even though the US has been trying to reduce their supply. The reduction of which has been shown to have resulted in tactical and strategic setbacks.
There's no chance of the same situation applying in the US, where there would also be no clear frontline but rather a protracted insurgency, rather than conventional warfare between two sovereign state actors.
