Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

I don’t get how this was downvoted. The ambiguity of “minimizes” along with an article literally minimizing civilian casualties is 100% the onion. Maybe it’s too depressing to be funny. I certainly can’t laugh at it, it’s more that it makes me feel even more cynical about the world, but it does feel like the onion to me.
That's what I thought too. The claim is over the roof... "THAN ANYONE IN HISTORY!"
In all of history? Give me a break, JPost lol
The ambiguity of minimizes? What’s ambiguous about using that word here?
Either they’ve reduced the quantity of them, or they’ve downplayed them
