Ukraine

Rules:

  1. No sympathy with the enemy or its collaborators. Russian and North Korean soldiers are fascists committing a genocide. Remember that.

  2. Objective and factual reporting from the battlefield, parliaments, etc. is encouraged, even if it's about bad news for Ukraine.

  3. Insulting Putin and his cronies (Orban, Trump, Musk,...) is absolutely fine but don't use homophobic or similar language against them. Members of the queer community don't deserve to be compared to that scum. Also: Putin disciminates against gay people. If you do as well, you're part of the problem.

  4. Don't insult or use overly harsh language against other commentators.

  5. Don't submit direct links to Twitter/X and Truth Social posts. You may: Post a screenshot + quote, do a full quote and name the author, direct link to a proxy service like xcancel.com, deep link an image embedded in a tweet because Lemmy will cache a copy.

Kaja Kallas:

Ukraine is Europe!

We stand by Ukraine.

We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.

Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.

Zelinski should fly to Brussels and accept the EU's offer.

Let Trump's legacy be that he lost a half trillion dollar rare earth minerals deal to the EU because of his delicate fucking ego.

Fuck the minerals. Besides our existing commitment according to the Budapest Memorandum, and supporting Ukraine simply being the right thing to do, this will lead to the fall of the US Dollar.

Trump’s play has always been robbing the table and cashing out before he gets caught. What’s he gonna do to escape repercussions? Declare bankruptcy?

Convert it to gold and escape to Moscow.

That’s literally the last place I’d go. Fuck Russia, and our Russian puppet leader.

Sure, but you're not a despotic fascist wannebe dictator who is going to loot the country while running it into the ground then run off with the wealth he has accumulated.

I worry that running off to Russia is a very dangerous thing to do. He's more vulnerable then and he's of no more value. It would not be a good idea I think.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

So let’s hope he does then 🤞

Well, Trump is a lot more similar to Assad than you or I so Russia wouldn't be the worst place for him

There are pretty much no rare earth minerals, as far as I've read
So his deal is bullshit anyway - like usual

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Oh well, no harm done then when he signs a deal with the EU in a few days.
