Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
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.
That's all the rules!

Russia’s attack yesterday occurred before Ukraine accepted the ceasefire and was a retaliation for Ukraine’s failed offensive into Belgorod. Ukraine accepted the ceasefire a few hours after the attack leading to Putin ordering air defenses to shoot down any Russian drones heading to Ukraine. Ukraine proceeded to attack an oil depot after accepting the ceasefire.
Meaning that Putin complied with the ceasefire by halting all attacks on energy infrastructure in Ukraine and even ordered air defenses to shoot down their own drones heading to Ukraine. Ukraine proceeded to attack Russian energy infrastructure in violation of ceasefire.
I just read that Putin never agreed to the ceasefire though. Did he actually ever agree, and that article was wrong?
Edit:news evolves pretty fast, it looked like he rejected it, but accepted a ceasefire on energy stuff that I guess was what it was always about? I thought it was a general cease fire
Schrödinger-ceasefire: its accepted and rejected at the same time, so no matter what happens Putin is right to kill.
Putin rejected the full 30-day ceasefire not the ceasefire regarding attacks on energy infrastructure.
I read the comment before checking the username, and mind you, I’ve only been on this site for like 2-3 days, and my first thought was, “oh, this must be a comment from that Putin’s-sack-gargling-Nimda dork.”
Come on. I just got here. Your shtick shouldn’t ALREADY be getting old.
