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.

As expected, at least Rubio got the aid turned back on for Ukraine and put the ball in russias court.

I am in genuine shock and disbelief that I’m grateful for a thing that Rubio did, but here we are. I hope orangeboi gets distracted by something else, but realistically I’m unfortunately fairly certain that he’ll find a way to ruin everything, since that’s kind of his schtick.

I don’t like this ride. It’s weird. Make it stop. I wanna get off :(

You don’t have to be, simply all you have to do is remove the pinko.

Putin ready for ceasefire but demands 'guarantees' depriving Ukraine of aid

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Russia is not likely to agree to the ceasefire before regaining control of Kursk.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They agreed to many ceasefires and broke them all

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't think they'll agree to a ceasefire at all. Putin wants control of Kiev, whether that's through a puppet or directly probably doesn't much matter. Europe is looking increasingly likely that they'll put boots on the ground to maintain the pace, so if the Russians don't push hard for everything now, they might not have another chance for the foreseeable future

[–] [email protected] -3 points 22 hours ago

I would argue it does not look increasingly likely that European countries will put boots on the ground considering most of them rule out this option if the United States are not involved, and the United States stated several times they will not be involved.
