    I love how all the framing is as if the US has any say in the war ending at this point.

      Most people in the west still can’t wrap their heads around the fact that the US can’t use force to dictate terms to Iran.

      They have say in the sense that they could not try to prolong it and let Iran just do its thing

      Right, this situation truly shows just how imbecile people have become. The Trump/USA is always right mindset is so broken.

      USA started a war in the middle east. They must now suffer the consequences. I think the rest of the world should let them. Why risk sending our own troops and ships? It’s a world war waiting to start. A single missile hitting the “wrong target” ignites it.

      Let USA know the true meaning of FAFO.

      And then maybe, just maybe, they won’t vote in a fucking lunatic psychopath old ass monster of a billionaire next election. Unless it’s too late by that point due to EOs that allow the guy to sit on the power forever.

      We have deployments occurring, it’s either misdirection or they’re actually trying to stop the bloodbath.

    He’s a liar. By “Peace Deal” these genocidal freaks mean “Iran surrenders and complies with all our demands”.

    There was allegedly a recent AIPAC memo to their mouthpieces to denounce settler violence (I can’t remember my source for that, but the mouthpieces have been doing it recently in what appears to be a coordinated manner). This could be another form of that to slightly launder the hawks’ reputations.

      That and loudly saying “I don’t take AIPAC* money” while still taking plenty of zionist lobbying money just not AIPAC specifically so what they said can be technically correct

    They see that all the talk about the war being over in two to four weeks that is constantly pushed in their media isn’t likely.

    Mr Trump sir you are not a pussy are you? Don’t listen to this spineless weakling. He just wants to make you and America look weak so his friends in Israel look strong.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

  • To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).

  • To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.

  • To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don’t post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
