Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

& therefore Russia shouldn't be using Russian weapons inside Ukraina, then, right??

Oh, just Russian gaslighting, again?

sorry, I forgot..

In other words, the Russians are afraid of this. Then it must be a good decision.

Yeah we've heard this dog barking a lot in the past couple of years. We actually bites us let me know so that I can be worried after the fact for a change.

Russia, all this time you've been claiming Ukraine was yours already and you were just taking it back. If we take you at your word, we've been letting Ukraine use US supplied weapons 'inside Russia' all this time since 2022. So how is what we're doing now different? Or are you saying that Ukraine ISN'T yours and you're there in violation of international law as well as the Budapest memorandum?

Couple Z brains just got an aneurysm from logic overload.

So, basically, there is a difference on one side or the other on a line of a map somewhere? There is a Russia and not-Russia. So even Kreml doesn't think Chrimea is part of Russia...

I remember a joke at the beginning of the war:

"This is actually a proxy war between Russia and NATO. Russia has lost over 10,000 troops already and counting." "And what about the NATO forces?" "They haven't shown up yet."

Zelenskyy's joke and a good one.

Well in another life he was literally a comedian was he not

A good one too. Then he decided to predict his immediate future via a sitcom about a regular guy getting surprise-elected President. It was pretty funny.

The show got cancelled when he got surprise-elected President.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

He was. Very interesting guy. On his way to becoming a major historical figure. Not quite as big as Winston Churchill but of the same cloth. Both of them told a tyrant to go fuck themselves. Americans love that story.
