Few things to remember:

Stay focused on the main topic of discussing the war and avoid deviating into unrelated areas.

Do not share links, news, or summaries from unverified sources. Rely on credible and verified information.

Avoid spamming links from X (Twitter) or other social media platforms.

The discussion should center on the war itself, its global and local impact, and the broader chain reactions it may trigger.
