Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

So is Orbán, and what is probably a majority of conservatives at least if they're being honest (which doesn't happen too often)
They don’t care what happens as long as Putin is happy.
"They would make a desert and call it peace"
Ahh right, because the guy who was literally impeached for trying to get Zelensky to fabricate a story about his political opponent and who is beholden to Ukraine’s enemy would be an honest peace broker.
I’m not seeing any reference to Trump being honest in the article.
It’s fairly trivial for the US president to end the conflict. Stop supplying weapons to Ukraine and send them to Russia instead, and it’d be over in a week. This is something I fully believe Trump could do.
I'm not sure if you could call Russian occupation 'peace' in Ukraine
This is exactly what these people mean when they say "peace"
It will give Russia another 6-10 years before they do it again just like last time.
That would not bring peace though. Russia would just start with the next country/countries.
Most likely, as a condition of the "peace". Russia would promise not to invade anywhere for a few years to make Trump look good...
So when did russia not break any promise they gave? They already promised to not invade Ukraine!
It's just bs.
Ok, but the world isn’t looking for the kind of peace Trump would broker.
What the world wants is for Russia to get the fuck out of Ukraine.
Ugh... Ukraine is screwed, huh. We're all screwed, perhaps.
If Trump wins the entire world is fucked.
Why isn't this being run on a real news outlet‽
Because "real" news outlets prioritize their owners' short-term profits over the survival of humanity.
"Can he also protect the virginity of my daughters" asked the man.
Sure can.... if he takes it from them he's protecting it, right? /s
My downstairs neighbour is super right wing, told me he is as far right as you can go, full on conservative voter in the UK.
The other day he told me Trump is the only one that is going to be able to save the world and under his rule, the Russia Ukraine war would have never happened.
Told him Trump is in bed with Russia and would have just allowed them to take over, he said no and Trump siding with Russia would benefit the entire world's economy.
Straight face said this to me, man has brain-rot.
I would have asked how does a country start a war invading itself, not really expecting anything intelligent response, but let's him know real fast I think he's insane, hopefully. Then actually treat him like a snot-noise kid, brushing him off.
What's russian bringing to the world economy other than cheap oil? That you can source from multiple other less dickish countries.
Which would also hurt the economy, given that the US is pumping more oil than ever...
"Russia can take over Ukraine.
See no more war. Told you I'd end it"
You missed the lines: 'Great deal, greatest of all deals, me dealt, great. Yes, great deal. No other president to be able to make this deal.'
Beautiful deal. The Best.
I would pay to be able to see the faces of the EU leaders while telling them such nonsense.
What a cunt.
....and now that all Ukrainians are safe here in Gaza, how about a round of applause for our earless leader Ronald Ray Rump!...oh donald like the duck?...
EU is such a joke for letting Hungary have presidency
It's a rotating system, so it wasn't a deliberate decision.
I'm aware of that, still shouldn't have been allowed, they shouldn't even be in the EU to begin with.
Before Orban and his cronies took over, Hungary was on an upwards trajectory in terms of rule of law, personal liberties. In fact Orban himself started politics with a pretty progressive programm. Guess he got bought out along the way though and like the cash a little bit too much.
Trump will not be doing any of this.
