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.

I'm not sure how long the Chinese are going to tolerate this. They can surely seize American assets in retaliation. All because the orange guy had to replace the JCPOA Iran nuclear deal with nothing but sanctions.
Biden has maintained and increased those sanctions in response to Iran maintaining and increasing their human rights abuses. This isn't a fuck up.
Remember, China has the upper hand in trade with Russia, and extracting value from that. Iran is blending its oil with Malaysia, and so China is paying a reduced rate for contraband oil there, too.
Oh no! Not human rights abuses!
Better check on the US' other partners including Saudi Arabia, Israel, France...
I mean... yea... but Saudi Arabia is only our partner if we have Trump as president, Israel we are starting to see discussion about it. Obviously it is egregious but we don't have enough left wing politicians to stop it just yet. And France? They aren't even worse than the US itself! ;3
That's about a two hour supply of oil to the Chinese. Since it wasn't delivered they don't pay for it.
This is why when I buy oil shipments from Iran I pay on delivery.
How long has the orange guy been gone?
Almost three years now, two of those years were with the DNC holding Congress and President.
The more you know.
With Manchin and Sinema there you can't say that they've had majority in the senate at least...
Holding Congress doesn't mean much unfortunately, when you can't sign a treaty because one party opposes on a party line.
Also, the Iranians simply won't negotiate when the next guy might reinstate sanctions. The last guy screwed us.
They cant keep blaming the guy thats been gone 3 years, when the new one has had a trifecta and did nothing. Other than keep most of Trumps worst policies in place.
I mean we have held this sanction against Iran for 40 years, Trump left the nuclear deal and we are trying to rejoin it. These newest sanctions make sense in the context of uprisings in Iran, and the nuclear deal.
Sanctions are ecocide
