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.

Summary

Trump is pushing for softer language on Russia’s war in Ukraine, straining G7 unity.

Officials say the U.S. is blocking references to "Russian aggression" and prefers calling it the "Ukraine conflict."

This shift follows Trump's peace talks with Putin that excluded Ukraine's President Zelensky, whom Trump later called a "dictator."

The change in rhetoric contrasts with Biden-era support for Ukraine and threatens a unified G7 stance.

Blow it apart. America doesn't belong with its former Allies.

Its clear that America has no interest in being apart of the free world, they checked out.

Now fuck off and go destroy yourselves in a frenzy over transgender bathroom doors and eggs. The rest of us still have lives to live and futures to protect.

So making peace with russia is destroying the free world, but letting Ukraine and russia have a forever war isn't?

What kind of dumb ass uninformed comment is this. We all want the war to end. But with freedom, not more oppression

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago

Right?

Russia could end the war it started right now. And leave. It chooses not to.

Then European countries need to fight. Ukraine can’t win alone.

Suppose it depends which propaganda machine you listen to.

Real people in Ukraine telling their actual first hand account stories of what Russian soldiers did is not a 'propaganda machine'.

Reality doesn't care about what people are saying. It matters what people are doing. The people who suffered and died because of Hitler and Putin are all real people who were real victims.

You make pretty words and it makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

Just be glad you don't live in Ukraine as National Public Radio has some grim first hand stories as to what Putin's invasion was like for civilians.

https://www.npr.org/2022/04/30/1093339262/ukraine-russia-rape-war-crimes

[Accounts of alleged sexual violence coming out of Ukraine in recent weeks have been grim. A woman raped repeatedly by a Russian soldier after her husband was killed outside Kyiv. A mother of four gang raped by Russian soldiers in Kherson. The body of a Ukrainian woman found dead — naked and branded with a swastika. A woman raped by a Russian commander on the day tanks entered the village of Kalyta.

The number of reports that have emerged since the start of the war in late February suggests that rape in Ukraine at the hands of Russian soldiers may be widespread...]

Yes, because appeasing an agressor only begats more aggression.

Ah so its that simple, got it.

Damn the bullies in your school had a field day with you, didn't they? They can take your milk and you would offer them your lunch too. Because conflict is bad. Surprise, sometimes violence is actually the answer. Whether we like it or not.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Well only one of us is getting upset and jumping to conclusions here.

You would suck your abusive boyfriend's dick with one black eye because you'd be stupid enough to believe him when tells you that if you do, he wouldn't give you a second.

Of course letting a dictator invade and annex a democratic neighbour is a step in destroying the free world, you absolute muppet.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Piss off, twat.

Giving Russia everything they want and not negotiating with Ukraine is destroying the free world.
