Of course they'd never just outright admit to it, but it's kinda like who farted in an elevator. Somebody is doing the jamming. Jamming is happening. I wonder who it could be? Who could it be?

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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.

Yeah it's kinda annoying that the "real things" happening this world all have to be treated that way.
Like on a tangent, Trump lies incessantly, we know it. But... we still pretend like that's going to have any repercussions for him, just because lies often (but not that often) do in our every day lives. You can't just make deals with businesses and then tell them to fuck off. That's a rich people prerogative.
It's just so annoying that the "highest class" of geopolitical discussion is "well i can't actually be sure that smelly guy in the elevator with us is the one who farted, even though there was only two of us in there, but like, he'd get mad if I told him straight up and people would question me probably so I'll just probably not say anything. "
Or even if one did say "yo dude stop farting" the farter would just keep shitting his pants out loud while saying "idk what you're talking about, fake news". And then there'd be a rush of tankies yelling at you about how it isn't actually that smelly at all and no-one can be sure that it wasn't actually me who's shitting my pants, even when the shit is leaking out from the other guy's pant leg, pooling by his shoe.
And then when you speak up against it you're put down as "being too sensitive. That's just how things are"

The STA report comes days after a plane carrying Ursula von der Leyen was hit by interference.
The pilots of the European Commission president's plane reportedly had to land using paper maps, but did so safely.
