its a threat to assassinate representatives of another government DURING peace talks the the usa asked for. Why would anyone ever participate in anything with the usa again? Its even in a neutral country!!!!!

Remember Trump assassinated the general who beat ISIS during peace talks in a third country in his first term.

Hell he killed a lot of the former negotiators during the first wave of bombings. That started while negotiating was still on. Course that was after the last time he started bombing during the peace talks the previous year.

Iran and the USA were in the middle.of negotiations and very near an agreement when Trump and Netanyahu started this war, killing the Ayatollah and many of the more moderate Iranian government officials who might be more amenable to an agreement. It's not just a hypothetical but something the USA has done already.

Can we not just stick him in some internationally operated pit of a prison and be done with it by now?

We could probably establish something in Antarctica like that.

Let's just skip the prison, take him to Antarctica, drop him off on the shore, and leave.

I'm concerned that his blubber would allow him to survive for far too long.

And in a few hundred years, researchers will run into a weird clump of ice, defrost it and find the most horrifying Thing ever to roam this planet.

Antarctica is a pristine place, I'd not defile it with that man. Just drop him in the deep freeze of any Waffle House, wouldn't even crack the top five weirdest things that happened that night. Let the penguins be!

Yes, but imagine The Thing 3 returns to original glory and the opening scene is just the Norwegians firing rounds from the helicopter while MacReady's son is already on the flamethrower, the stars and stripes flapping away in the background... The movie ends just 10 mins in to everyone sitting down for breakfast.

Then you’ll have JD Vance, who was groomed by Peter Thiel. He’s smarter and he’s more extremist. So yeah I’m gonna stick with mango Mussolini for a while, he’s doing a great job making a mockery out of himself and his goons.

Well... An airstrike against Switzerland would definitely persuade Europe to kick out American troops......

Muting the US would solve a lot of problems to be fair.

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.
