This is what happens when your leaders are too stupid to understand diplomacy. It's also what happens when they're working for the interests of Putin.

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.

A lovely little display for Russian state media to play out tonight. "Look at the west fighting themselves, soon the war will be over!"
Look at the part where he says it's "disrespectful to THIS country". I think he had to catch himself there to stop him saying it's disrespectful to someone else. Like anyone involved in the mob, you invoke the name of your boss and let them know he's unhappy when you are trying to intimidate someone.
Beyond furious with Trump and Vance.
This 2 idiots ganged up on him
This seriously felt like being yelled at and talked down to by tryhard managers at some shitty retail job.
They just bust right out the gate with rambling, they're so upset, they demand respect, you need to apologize, you should be grateful, followed by 50 rapidfire questions so they can say "SEE. I'M RIGHT BECAUSE YOU STRUGGLED TO ANSWER." blah blah blah.
Treating a part-time employee like that should get your teeth kicked in. Treating a world leader like that?! MAN.
hell is empty and all the devils are here
This is shameful!
I can hardly watch this. Fills me with anxiety
To me it looks like they are putting up a show for whatever reasons, i believe the deal governments have don't get discussed in public and are already on the table.
Here's NATO activity we know of in the black sea as of yesterday:

Looks to me like Trump pulling the emergency break on the resources deal and at the same time manufacturing a reason to pull support from Ukraine and NATO.
When i look at US and NATO activities trump talking about pulling support sound like a joke to me
I've read about this too. There was a French AWACS plane with its fighter escort taking a look at Crimea from distance. And later, there was a visit by an US Navy plane that can drop sonar buoys and assorted stuff. I missed the Italian electronic warfare plane, reading about it now.
Russian sources have been speculating that an Ukrainian strike usually comes within days of such a visit.
I think the military are doing their stuff regardless of politicians, as long as politicians (read: Trump) won't forbid them.
I kinda want more articles about what people are saying. Like I get that Trump did X and we aught to know about it - but what about the people on Truth Social? Is it just a powerful echo chamber or?
Edit: yes, I say this because I feel like vomiting when I think of visiting that place.
