World News
A community for discussing events around the World
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.

They're probably trying to get in and proofread/polish the material. I can't imagine that they wouldn't love a second Trump presidency.
Nah, my understanding from past reading is that Iranian intelligence has generally sought to undermine Trump's campaign.
Remember that Trump knocked off the second-in-command guy in Iran a few years back and is generally more supportive of Israel, which is in active conflict with Hezbollah and Hamas, who are Iranian proxies.
Some stuff in the news about it recently, remember:
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/iranian-hackers-stolen-trump-campaign-material-biden-campaign/story?id=113826314
Russian intelligence, on the other hand, has been supportive of Trump's campaign.
I think that the real takeaway here is that we seriously need to improve the state of information security on political campaigns. We've had repeated compromises so far. There are a number of countries out there with an interest either in who becomes the next leader of the US or in swiping private material on whichever that might be useful for blackmail purposes down the line. China, for example, might not try to swing the election, but I am confident that Chinese intelligence would be interested in having compromising information on an American president.
Definitely not. Remember the nuclear deal that Obama got with Iran? The one that lifted sanctions in return for allowing UN inspectors in to ensure compliance? President Convict unilaterally torpedoed it and reinstated sanctions. Iran would love to resume the deal, which may or may not happen with Harris, but absolutely would not happen if President Convict gets into the White House again.
President Convict also had their top general assassinated which did not exactly help diplomatic relations.
