So I guess Trump doesn’t have the cards then? Weird.
World News
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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.

No, impossible, I was told he gonna feel very good and very strong.
He already put them on the table before the negotiations started. Art of the deal
When the news first broke, I assumed Russua was behind the ceasefire and had already pulled Trumps strings to their advantage.
Now I'm wondering if this administration might be too incompetent to be corrupt.
Of course they're incompetent. Trump is a Russian asset in that he has a Dollarstore intellect and is easy to manipulate. No bribes necessary.
He's always been the textbook example of a "useful idiot".
Until his feelings got hurt by the negative reactions and people liking Zelensky better. Then suddenly he was less Russia minded. What a world we live in.
That's pretty much it. You shouldn't be berating him for supporting Russia so much as you should be cheerleading him supporting Ukraine.
That was my thought, too, but yeah. Occam's Razor, our government is just run by really stupid people.
I expect it to go down like this:
"Look, Vlad - if you don't agree to this ceasefire, we're going to stop supplying you with weapons and intelligence."
"Have you said thank you once this entire meeting?!"
Thank you for trying to fuck my ass and take my countries resources without any guarantees whatsoever of safety.
What is going to happen.
TruMusk - Look Vlad!
Vlad - " Shut up and go home. This is not your business. Do as you are told by my underlings".
TruMusk - Ok :(
I can't wait for the annual RepubliQan retreat to Moscow on 4th of July weekend.
Lots of parties, music, and blowing Pooty-poot under the table for our best and brightest MAGA congresspersons.
trump would like to be the tough guy, but putin will never accept anything from him for sure
No, but too many people were asking questions about Krasnov.
Negotiate a deal and have Russia reject it, then sanction Russia so the senators finally have at least one thing to point at and go 'see! He's tough on Russia! He can't possibly be a Russian asset!'.
Possible, and harmless to Russia since Biden's administration sanctioned pretty much everything they could already. I will not be surprised though if Trump announces he's relaxing sanctions based on a promise from Putin to consider future negotiations.
Waiting breathlessly for Trump's announcement that Zelensky is unwilling to talk peace and Putin is a victim...
Could be fun. Trump has already proven that he will do anything to get a ceasefire (on paper...) when he practically abandoned the Ukrainians, his allies. Now that it's the Russians who are standing in the way of his goal, I'm curious to see if he'll bring out the big guns (literally).
extremely unlikely. he hasn‘t once fucked with putin. i think trump is scared of him. perhaps rightfully so.
He did clearly do that last time.
Even changing nothing is a win I feel...
He will call Putin a "smart guy" and "advise" Ukraine to agree to all Russian demands.
I'm expecting something along these lines.
The news tomorrow:
Trump levies devastating 100% tarrifs on imports of consumer electronics and cars from Russia.
I am shocked! Shocked I say!
Who would have thought that with his best buddy back in the Whitehouse and Ukraine cut off from some financial and military support as a result, that the Kremlin would feel emboldened to reject any kind of peace deal?!
Putin knows that now his stooge is President he can put much do whatever the hell he wants when it comes to Ukraine. At least for a while - until Europe gets a strategy in place (if that happens), and until Russia's runs out of breathing conscripts.
Here's hoping the rest of the West can provide enough support quickly to keep Ukraine from losing a huge chunk of their territory.
I mean Donald literally said putler could do what he wants.
Don’t worry - I’m sure our new Dear Leader will find a way to make things even more terrible, and ultimately give Putin whatever he wants.
Though, now that Rubio is starting to come back from his disassociation episode, maybe he’ll do something that’s not apocalyptically stupid (holy fucking christ am I actually pulling for Rubio a little bit…? What the fuck is this timeline). News in recent days from him makes me suspicious that maybe he’s just learning things that sane people already knew, but he didn’t trust because he didn’t do it and he didn’t see it on Fox News et al.
A ceasefire will lock in the territory Putin has.
Putin doesn't have the entirety of the two provinces he's claiming. He wants the entirety of the two provinces for a couple reasons. First it gives him a domestic win. Second it screws the Ukrainian defensive lines. Right now they are situated in a way that Russia has to fight through towns that Ukraine can fortify to make them costly. If they use the province borders, they're relatively arbitrary and Ukraine's line of defense has to be set up further back, where they can force Russia into towns again. This favors Russia because in a couple years when they finish rebuilding their military they can just take the next area and tell everyone they get to keep that in the next ceasefire.
Is this just a build up to trump being lauded as the bestest negotiator ever?
