Summary

The White House has directed the State and Treasury Departments to draft a proposal for lifting some U.S. sanctions on Russia as part of Trump’s effort to restore ties and end the Ukraine war.

The proposal could ease restrictions on select Russian entities and oligarchs, though it’s unclear what the U.S. would receive in return.

Trump has signaled openness to sanctions relief despite previously threatening harsher measures.

Talks between U.S. and Russian officials have intensified, with economic cooperation, including rare earth minerals, emerging as a key topic.

You know what would help end the war in Ukraine? Letting Russia keep all their money and having no repercussions for their actions. That should do the trick.

Well it will help end the war, just in Russia's favor

Is this being reported in the US in the mainstream media?

The possibility of a US coup is becoming more real everyday with the Trump administration.

[–] [email protected] 77 points 1 day ago

Possibility? .... this coup is more like watching moss grow over concrete ... it's taking time but it will soon cover everything and everyone is making it as hot and moist as possible to speed up the process

a lot of Americans acknowledge a coup happened about a month ago

In Europe many leaders still claim USA is our most important ally. I wonder if they say it.hoping it will make it true, or if they really still believe it?

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 day ago

They're still in the first stage of grief.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Many EU leaders like to pretend things are just fine when they're not because it's easier than dealing with the problem. We got lulled into a false sense of security the past few decades and being woken up so rudely seems to be difficult for our lazy asses.

Many of them never left.

Trump already got what he wanted, what even is this statement?

If you are a greedy person, the bigger Russia has a lot more to offer than protecting smaller Ukraine's freedom.
