According to a report from MS NOW, the USS Abraham Lincoln wasn’t resupplied because Iranian strikes destroyed a key Navy resupply base in the Middle East.

      Feels like western media also seriously downplayed how much Iran blew shit up

        Even more so, they did not cover how defenseless the bases were. This might shock many but Trump and Kegbreath started a war with Iran without first allowing the military to prepare. I swear, I’m not lying.

          Have they played any simulator games. Don’t start a fight until you’re prepared. Politically, financially, militarily, and even environmentally.

        People just don’t pay attention…

        Iran launching attacks on allied bases were all over the news. We don’t resupply ships by loading up what they need on a boat in Virginia then a month later it shows up, they get shipments from the closest bases.

        So when Iran started blowing up all the bases around Iran, it meant none of the ships around Iran would be resupplied.

        That’s literally why they did it, launching a direct attack would still be an escalation, so they kneecpped fleet operations around the strait and just waited out the blockade…

        People miss a lot more obvious shit these days, but it’s still disappointing.

            Quite possibly. I use Sync which has its issues but for how much I use Lemmy is usually fine.

    US military bases across the Middle-East have been destroyed and are totally non-functionable.

    The prospect of a sustained ground invasion, which was already a fucking moronic idea on the US’s best day, is all but impossible now.

    This war literally only happened and continues because Trump was allowed back in power, and he’s a pedophile with loads of Epstein blackmail in the hands of Israel.

        I am pretty sure USA stuff happens in a parallel timeline. The dankest timeline or something, maybe the darkest, I dunno. I think the timeline broke around Georg Bush’s infamous ranch speech: “What do we know about these facts” etc.

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.
