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!

Reaching an agreement to stop the genocide in Gaza.

Trump: No

Reaching an agreement with Putin to stop the conflict in Ukraine

Trump: Yeah

[–] Nightwingdragon@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Actually, there is a plan to stop the genocide in Gaza. Israel already announced it:

Kill everybody in Gaza, annex the west bank. After that, Voila! no more genocide!

Russians/ukrainians don't have dual citizenship, massive lobbying, endless free weapons, ownership of almost every politician, muslim victims, etc.

So people aren't as brainwashed into supporting the genocide of ukrainians.

"Of course!

  1. Putin gets everything he wants.
  2. Ukraine gets steamrolled and then annexed.
  3. The US pulls out of NATO.

In return:

  1. Trump sales of wristwatches skyrockets among Russia's elite.

See how easy that was?"

-- Donald Trump.

TBD. Trump has praised Putin (and other dictators) on several occasions. Trump has said he's okay with Putin (or other countries) invading NATO countries, and he wouldn't step in. After his election win, his son stated it would be the end of Ukraine's "allowance" from the US - a disgusting remark.

Trump is a pathological liar. Even if he tells us what he'll do, we won't know what he'll do.

Trump is a narcissist. If you praise him and stroke his ego, he'll be more likely to do what you want. It's not hyperbolic to say that Trump's position could be influenced if Putin offered Trump some beachfront property in Russia to develop a resort.

It's easy to do a deal when you get all the upside and people you don't care about get all the downside
