    Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
    Post news articles only

    It’s literally the first part of the first rule!
    There are already several articles about the issue?

    Edit:
    Without explaining why this should be here you risk the mods removing it.
    I have no idea why I’m downvoted for pointing that out?

    Edit2:
    OP changed the link to the article. The link to the video provided was the original link.

    response to me by OP:

    Thanks. I’ve edited the post to link to the same source’s text article instead (and linked the corresponding video this post originally linked to in the post body)

      you’re right, but I think people are more focused that the US just invaded and conquered a nation for oil… again

        There are already several articles posted about the issue.

        2nd part of the rule:

        Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.

        So without explaining why this should be here you risk the mods removing it.

              Goddam people are weird here???
              The post being changed to link to the article means it’s more likely to stay up, and the video is still linked in the accompanying text to the post.
              How is it possible to be so butthurt as to downvote this?

            Do not concern yourself too much with downvotes. In this case, it was probably because they can’t tell it was edited so your comment looks out of place.

            There are lots of weird downvotes here??
            All I can say is it wasn’t me. It’s fair to ask questions.
