The decision could leave Iran in effective control of the chokepoint, through which roughly a fifth of the world’s oil supply normally passes.

      Mission fuck shit up was an epic success. As was every other US mission in the Middle East. Could you imagine a Middle East without USA’s involvement?

      To the surprise of literally no one. Every single war game with Iran for the past 50 years has called them mining the Strait of Hormuz, it’s one of the reasons no other leader in the world has taken up Bibi’s offer to invade. To have done so without an immediate plan for capturing the Strait is so retarded it just about makes my brain start to believe in 5D chess.

      My pet theory is that Bibi saw that he was about to lose his most obedient pet when Congress flips this fall and decided to cash in early and convince Trump to go in on an invasion. The pretense of this was last summer when AIPAC-affiliated media channels ran 24/7 pieces against every anti-Isreal person on the right, to shore up support (See: The Mossad-linked killing of Charlie Kirk).

      Honestly I’m not gonna call him a chicken for ending a war that never should have started, the “ending it” is the good part. For starting it to begin with I’ll call him a war hawk, and he’s Israel’s cuck (which is another bird reference, actually), but “chicken” no go ahead and end it don’t let me discourage you.

    If he ends the “war” without securing the Strait of Hormuz then that means he lost the war. Trump is both a warmonger and a war-loser. Stick to selling steaks old man rapist.

    Almost got hit by the goal posts. It’s my own fault, though, I know how much they tend to move around.

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.

  • 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.
