I've said it before and I'll say it again, if you have any doubts that Trump is in bed with Russia, wait until his peace deal comes out - I guarantee you it'll be the almost exact same abhorrent "give me your all your land or else" peace deal Russia already offered to Ukraine. Ukraine will (again) vehemently refuse, because what moral country would abandon its land and people to Russia, and Trump will use that refusal to pull funding from Ukraine "because they don't want peace" or "they refuse to negotiate"

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.

Also to note, Putin is feeling his oats if you look at the weirdly specific tarrif against China.

The whole thing is bizarre since they are targeting a product not produced domestically.
Why are they doing this? Seems detrimental to Russian businesses and also sours relations with their only "friend" in the whole world?
Tin pot dictators don’t work with policy, they work with people. Some oligarch is losing big with this decision as punishment for disloyalty, and some other oligarch is winning big as a reward for loyalty. It doesn’t have to make sense beyond that.
They made a new friend back in November... they just haven't updated their relationship status on FB...
Not their only friend there's Iran which is not wholly within China's sphere of influence. It could be Putin distancing himself from China with the current tensions between the US. Trump is a wildcard when it comes to foreign policy and seems to only be motivated with how much he can enrich himself or feed his ego. Which a war with China can definitely do both.
Yeah… putin’s bracing by stroking his pencil dick.
What does dick size have to do with anything Putin is doing?
Tyrants like to compare peepee sizes.
