News
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, 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.

One of the worst humans in recorded history. No small feat.
We're lucky he lacks the intelligence to be a real villain.
Oh he's a villain alright just not a super villain.
Ostensibly the most powerful position in the world, says terrible things, but still sucks at doing those terrible things. That is the greatest indicator of his incompetence - he can't even break things very well. It should be no problem for him to make Iran, or most anywhere else, be in a much worse state than it is. Yes, after Venezuela had a decade or more of collapse, he made things worse. Yes, after Cuba had 60 years of sanctions, he made it worse. Yes, after Palestine went through decades of repression, he helped the guys who have been doing that for the last 30 years make it a lot worse. He should be able to do these things to objectively stable countries that just don't have the economic and military power to stand toe to toe. But Iran, which, while powerful, should have been possible to destabilize, has kept significant control of the strait. At the same time, their ability to project power around the world has been diminished.
Imagine being so incompetent you can't even break shit very well.
This is nothing more than an ego jab, considering how small his hands are he probably has very small feet as well.
