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.

What a fucking toooooooooooool to the power of infinity. Same goes for supporters and enablers.
wtf is this headline
Defense organization want not to help in the attack war.
He's been rejected by everybody he's ever met. That's probably why he's a rapist and a predator.
NATO was created as a defensive measure to present a combined defence in the event of being attacked.
It was NOT created to provide back up to a wannabe Napoleon with tiny dick syndrome because he decides to start a war on his own.
… to cover his previous child raping activities

maybe it's my lack of geographical knowledge, but where in the USA is this objective exactly?
And they already won, wo the war is over. Like trump said.
NATO's job is to protect member states from Russian aggression. Trump has zero concept of history.
Trump's Pentagon insisted on a go-it-alone approach to Iran at the outset. This wasn't NATO's choice it was Hegseth's choice.
Even fucking Chimp-in-Chief Bush Jr had the decency to assemble the "Coalition of the Willing" in Iraq. Rubio couldn't be bothered to get the fucking Turks and Saudis on board, and they've hated Iran since the Ottoman Empire fell.
Absolutely bonkers to talk about this as some kind of NATO failure to comply when the treaty was never invoked to begin with. Doubly so, when you consider how many NATO bases are still ultimately being used by US forces to get hardware into position.
That was one labored sentence! I cannot be the only one that parsed it as: "Trump says he's been rejected by NATO (while) most allies (are) to join mission ..."
Instead, it wants to say: "Trump says he's been rejected by NATO and most allies (in his desire for them) to join mission ..."
Yeah, this is awful. Headlinese is fun and all, but this is too much.

"hey, you, fuck you! also, I'll take your shit. also, come help me pls! but also, fuck you." - tronald dump
But I thought that the “greatest military in the world” wouldn’t need help for a war that has “already been won”?
That's not it. It's the lack of enthusiasm that drags Donnie down, the feeling that he has to always be the one to come up with ideas to keep this relationship with NATO alive.
Would it kill them to bomb one little school, leave some civilian corpses as a surprise around the (white) house or do those sweet little coups together in a foreign land, like they used to do?
It's exhausting, really
"Guys! GUYS! You really depend on the oil that flows through the Strait so come and help me open it!"
"But your actions closed it in the first place."
"OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WON'T HELP! :`("
Fuck me, this is what international politics and diplomacy have become.

He can ask "Board of Peace" for help
haha didn't think of that yet. The "thank you" from trump to Qatar, Bahrain, Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Jordan: quite a few of the members got fucked over very quickly with the generous gift of regional instability!

He's being"rejected" by a group that he has spent the last year shitting on?
Gee, what a surprise...
What does he think NATO is? Isn’t the treaty to protect against aggression, not be the aggressors?
He's spent more than the last decade doing nothing but criticizing NATO and saying it should be abolished and is shocked when they won't cover his war crimes and the consequences there of? Stable genius everybody.
He believes he is the king of the world and NATO is a human resources investment similar to the many departments of Trump Kingdom LLC.
Far as he's concerned, who cares if that's not their job or intention. He's paying the bills damn it - he pay the bill, plebs do what he says. It's really that simple.

Israel are going to be so mad!
I am able to bear the suffering of Israel with a tremendous amount of dignified fortitude.
Reads like a text chat between an incel and a woman on the internet.
Trump: You are stupid. You are ugly and fat. I'm so much better than you ever will be and also fuck all our agreements. Null and void. And you owe me $13.47 for that coffee I paid for.
Them: stares confused . Then watches their economies be negatively impacted by trump.
Trump: hey we are buddies right? Come help me bomb civilians.
Them: no thanks.
Trump: you are a stupid fat ugly bitch and I don't need you anyway.
Trump (next day): how's it going? . So when are you deploying your troops to help out at the straight?
Them: blocks trump
Yup. It's really as simple as that. Trump is a sociopathic abuser, and the macro version of that is essentially the same as the micro.

Trump finally reaping what he sows. Or, to put it more succinctly for my contemporary peers...he found out!
" would also like to remind you that the U.S. and Israel did not consult us before the war, and that Washington explicitly stated at the start of the war that European assistance was neither necessary nor desired," Kornelius said.
NATO is a defensive alliance, not to be invoked when you get bribed by the zionists to start a war you cant finish.

Literally no official channel from the US has asked NATO. (Rage tweets are not official) The US was not attacked so it can’t invoke article 5. No one from NATO needs to help this American war adventurism.

Still too big for this fool.
so the NATO that he trashes all the time, and wants the US to abandon, won't help him in his entirely unnecessary War that he's thrown his country into, purely in an attempt to divert attention from his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein...... How surprising.

Aww.
He doesn't understand the difference between NATO and The UN. It's really wild.
"We will protect them, but they will do nothing for us, in particular, in a time of need."
I thought the US already destroyed 100% of the Iranian military? If I were an ally, it would sound to me like the help is not needed as there is no military remaining to fight.
