Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)
Posts that link to the following sources will be removed
- on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons), archive:is,ph,today (their JS DDoS websites)
- on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
- on Hungary: Euronews
Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com
(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)
Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the admin that applied the rule (check modlog first to find who was it.)

An attack on Greenland is an attack on a founding member of NATO, since the island belongs to Denmark despite its autonomy. The U.S. won’t attack NATO. Why would it? Not even that orange pedo would be that unbelievably stupid.
This nonsense was already ridiculous the last time around. I don’t understand how anyone can take this seriously.
this post is not the best example, but people were saying the same thing when he kidnapped another countries leader or when he started a war
Yes, that’s true. But instigating a military conflict with its own allies would be quite self-destructive, even for this criminal regime, which is, after all, well known for making empty threats as well.
I can’t for the life of me imagine what the benefit would be for the billionaires who control the U.S.
Trump and his henchmen may be utterly unscrupulous and obviously not the brightest, but there is one constant: every decision they make serves to line their own pockets.
I simply cannot fathom what benefit this gang would gain from invading Greenland. What is absolutely certain, however, is that this would have disastrous consequences for trade between Europe and the U.S.
Europe would undoubtedly have to respond, and that would cost all parties involved billions uppon billions.
It may well be that Trump himself would accept that in his narcissistic self-interest or in an attempt to completely ruin the U.S. However, I consider it much more likely that this is just the usual bullshit, because that’s definitely part of his communication strategy: one scandal after another to distract from his actual, sinister schemes. He’s been quite successful at that so far.
You're a fool if you don't take everything this administration says seriously
Well, I think it's more important to tune out the noise this regime is constantly making and pay attention to the things they keep quiet about.
Besides, what is Europe supposed to do? Station nuclear warheads in Greenland?
History is going to prove you wrong.
No problem at all. He would simply redefine the term 'attack' first. And on the next day, he would publish 2 more pages from the Epstein files, then nobody talks about Greenland anymore.
Because he can.

If there were no straight up declaration of war by all NATO member states, the U.S. would lose its closest allies, and sanctions would be imposed that would cost everyone involved a great deal of money.
"Because he can" won't be enough for the people who put Trump in the position he's in.
Oh yes, I know that.
