Rules:
-
No sympathy with the enemy or its collaborators. Russian and North Korean soldiers are fascists committing a genocide. Remember that.
-
Objective and factual reporting from the battlefield, parliaments, etc. is encouraged, even if it's about bad news for Ukraine.
-
Insulting Putin and his cronies (Orban, Trump, Musk,...) is absolutely fine but don't use homophobic or similar language against them. Members of the queer community don't deserve to be compared to that scum. Also: Putin disciminates against gay people. If you do as well, you're part of the problem.
-
Don't insult or use overly harsh language against other commentators.
-
Don't submit direct links to Twitter/X and Truth Social posts. You may: Post a screenshot + quote, do a full quote and name the author, direct link to a proxy service like xcancel.com, deep link an image embedded in a tweet because Lemmy will cache a copy.

While mineral rights and new border negotiations are up to Ukraine to negotiate for themself, not the US, I think NATO membership is the one thing in these peace negotiations that they don't really get to pick. It's up to the other NATO members, including the soviet United States. Ukraine may be better off getting one-on-one mutual defense agreements with various countries.
To be clear, as a US voter I support Ukraine joining NATO the minute they have a peace treaty. But I'm not the one making the decision.
The NATO would benefit immensely if Ukraine joined. It's really laughable that is even still used as political negotiation material.
