    I get that it’s a news article, yes. It’s a political one though. Political news is still news and would therefore be valid for a news community.

    Non political news would be something like “scientists discover new animal species that flows n the dark” or “multiple cats have disappeared at the same time in this neighborhood”.

    I’m just giving you an fyi because it seems it’s your intention to not post political stuff and you seem to be having a bit of trouble discerning what’s political and what isn’t. At least, if you want to be that “change” you claim. Anything involving a politician and a government is definitely political, especially if it involves a political motive (in this case, ending or slowing actions on an illegal war) and will therefore attract political discussion. In this case, the politician being the US president and the government being Iran.

    If it was an assassination attempt of a non-politician by someone not involved with a government, done for non political reasons, it would just be regular news, not political news.

      This is a news article posted to a news community. It’s not a political article, nor is this a political community. If you have concerns or questions about that, please message the mod. thx.

        Austin, read what I did. I’m not disagreeing with your first sentence. I’m just explaining to you why this very much of a political article.

          And I disagree with you, because I don’t think it’s a political article. We can agree to disagree. Thanks and I hope you have a great day.

              We can. You have an opinion, and I have one. Neither one is more valid than the other. You gave your opinion. I gave mine. Thx and hope you have a great day.
