A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

It's only been 6 weeks or so since this prick was questioning whether the US needed NATO, and even said that the UK "will say that they helped out with the war in Afghanistan but they actually stayed way back away from the frontline", now he's bitching at UK right-wing media about Starmer saying no to the US using UK bases for his illegal war?
Fuck off you stupid paedophilic prick, and fuck all of you Americans that got him where he is today. You stupid dumb pieces of fucking shit.
“relationship is obviously not what it was”.
my bestie won't join me in bullying
It is almost as if mistreating your allies makes them not want to back you up when you inevitably go to war in the Middle East again.
That was the main benefit the US got out of NATO, but Trump has squandered it with his antics over the past year
*my poodle
Starmer had issued his strongest rebuke yet of Trump’s action in Iran, saying the UK did not believe in “regime change from the skies”
Fuck yes. I had a bad feeling when USA was allowed to use UK bases in the region for "defense".
But it turns out he was actually serious. Hurray for that, let USA fix their own mess for once.
We all remember the mistakes of Iraq, and we have learned those lessons. Any UK actions must always have a lawful basis,
Absolutely fucking YES! to this too. We don't need to repeat of the illegal invasion of Iraq based on false US intelligence.
Apart from that Trump didn't even try to make a case for plausible deniability.
I'm not from UK, when I say we, I mean Europe and NATO. The British can be proud of their PM today. 👍 😀
But it turns out he was actually serious. Hurray for that, let USA fix their own mess for once.
To be clear, helping bomb Iran's means of retaliation/deterrence is not "letting them fix their own mess." This is on the same level as exporting "defensive" weapons to Israel and thinking one isn't accomplice to genocide.
Do I detect the first signs of a Spine growing on Starmer ?
He has, as always, found the most spineless way to piss everybody off.
He wont attack, but will let america do it from our bases, and will use the raf to defend those bases against reprisals from iran. But he wont attack iran.
This isnt some grand moral masterstroke its just weak in every way.
Nah,it's just business as always
I think it would be on time for the UK to show that rogue colony where their place is.
they are sleeping thru letting Farange worm his way back into power.
, but also this is on the same level of moral superiority as only giving Israel "defensive" weapons (the UK will support "defensive" airstrikes) so like yeah get fucked Starmer.
