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!

You're telling me that even with our billions of dollars worth of fucking intelligence agencies, we didn't know this was coming and couldn't have said no in advance, before people died? If so, why are we paying them so much? To harass minorities in the US?
Putin replied “Who works for whom here buddy?”
Like a dad doing that trick for his kids with the milk bowl scene from Tom and Jerry.
Next he's gonna challenge Putin in the squared circle
Traitor Trump has the power to stop this war overnight. He chooses not to.
Watch what traitors do, not what they say.
This is for optics. It’s to reinforce Trump’s strong man schtick. Putin stops, then Trump looks like he can make the peace if “unreasonable” Zelensky agrees to what Trump proposed. The proposal gives Putin Crimea, gives Trump minerals, and doesn’t help Ukraine. Zelensky says no and Trump uses it to attack Zelensky further and justify some punitive measure.
Conveniently for Putin he can stop because he wants to, not because someone dropped a cigarette and lit up one of their ammo dumps the other day.
Except Russia has never and I'm talking recently respected any ceasefire.
Trump is a Russian asset. This is theater for morons.
Narrator: In fact, he did not stop.
