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.
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.

Yeah, well it's the Taiwan Strait, not the "CCP gets to control everything that goes through it" Strait.

•

Oh yeah well the CCP drew lines on a map which, like Trump's sharpie-edited hurricane map, is incontrovertible evidence that what they say is correct.

•

Wait, Canada has a warship...?

•

We even had an aircraft carrier for a while 🥲

The Halifax-class is a bit on the small side but not a bad ship. Its replacement will be a massive improvement though (slated for the 2030s)

Fun History Fact!

While the Royal Canadian Navy began WW2 with only 13 ships, by the end of the war it had 1,140 surface ships listed as having been in service giving it the third largest navy in the world!

Yes, but they got rid of the submarines in the West Edmonton Mall.

Attack the candians and learn that the red maple leaf is not red because of autumn.

As a Canadian I would love to see a chinese ship getting pelted with a volley of supersonic hockey pucks and maple syrup containers.

Get fucked China. Just keep crying about your "wolf diplomacy" not working. You took the mask off years ago, now let it sink in that we're not going to listen to your crying anymore, because you've shown the whole world that you want to play by your own rules and refuse to act in good faith.
