Rules:

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.

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.

Summary

Russian official Dmitry Medvedev, a close ally of Vladimir Putin, suggested Donald Trump’s election victory may benefit Russia’s interests in Ukraine, citing Trump’s reluctance to fund “idiotic allies” and “voracious international organizations.”

Although Medvedev stopped short of celebrating, he hinted Trump’s aversion to foreign spending could weaken U.S. support for Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky cautiously congratulated Trump, recalling their recent discussion on U.S.-Ukraine cooperation.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov maintained a guarded tone, noting the U.S. remains an “unfriendly country” involved in the Ukraine conflict.

Jesus christ you're literally quoting "George Soros funding the deep state left" MAGA rhetoric here and wondering why the dems lost the election. Stop trying to out-Republican the Republicans and maybe you'll stop costing us elections.

Note the "left" in quotation marks!

There's a kind of "left", with anti-corporate policies just as vague as what some more populist right-wingers have, if not the exact same, that is just being used to call out "hypocritical, leftist virtue signaling by corporations", which the right just uses to paint leftist social policies as unreasonable. That "left" also just seem to have a "reappropriated" version of whatever stuff the right appropriated for itself to make their isolationist foreign policies look less far-right as their "anti-imperialist" policy.

And when it comes to class warfare, it's just the same exact work moralist and anti-intellectualist mess the right has.

That's why I call these people leftists in name only. They're not funded by George Soros, but by either Russia, or some "moderate, christian-conservative" party like Fidesz, if not both.
