Don’t give up Ukraine! Russia is spiraling down the the toilet and Putin is the turd.
How about fuck off instead?
This is the only answer. Russia is already debasing their currency and economy just to keep Putin from admitting failure.
Down to ~170T from their 441T of gold too.
I imagine that will be delivered by drone. To oil refineries.
Or something that looks expensive, anyways.
This is surrender that leaves them weakened for when Russia inevitably tried again after given the breather it needs to rearm. As Russia has done multiple times to Ukraine already...
Yes, but allegedly Putin has the videos of Trump. Ukraine will be sacrificed.
fucking HODL!
Unitedstatesian here: seriously, tell our regime to fuck off.
I despise "unitedatatesian" as a demonym. If you don't like "American," just say Yankee.
But yeah, Trump needs to either support Ukraine or fuck off. Our nvolvement is only desirable if it involves a shitload of material support to Kiev, not this backstabbing bullshit.
I think seppo fits better than yankee these days..
But why do you despise it? I've heard criticism for Americans taking 'American' when there are many many more countries in The Americas and have yet to see the term above until now, but it doesn't bother me any.
In point of fact: a friend I have from Europe expressed amused appreciation when I first used that term with her, because “American” implies that people from the US are the only population that matters in The Americas (as in, North and South America), and that the default/accepted demonym has some implicit ownership/overlordship overtones, and I don’t disagree.
I don't disagree about "American" being too vague, or the implied cultural supremacy over the rest of the Americas, I just hate the specific term "Unitedatatesian" because it's long and ridiculous. Besides, it doesn't really solve the problem of vagueness, it just shifts the question from "Where in the Americas" to "Which United States," since (while the USA is probably the first country you think of when someone says "America" or "United States") there are other federal republics, some of which use the same or similar language.
If you want to use a seperate word that's more specific to the United States of America, we already have one that's deeply connected to our history and culture, which is easy to say, and which won't get us confused with people of any other country: "Yankee." It's even used already in a lot of countries, notably by the English, and variants of it are used in other countries.
When I search the Wikipedia list of sovereign states, there is not a single other country that uses "united states" in their English name on that list. So at the moment unitedstatesians would be fine to use from that side.
Which countries were you thinking off? Closest I could find are the United Mexican States, but there they have the identifier in the middle.
Stop pretending what you have nothing to do with the situation and it is all some "regime" to blame, Unitedstatetian.
Ok, I’ll bite: realistically, what would you have me do, in addition to going to protests and generally not giving the fascists the rhetorical space to spew their insanity unopposed?
It's a bot, according to the user name. You can safely ignore and block it.
I‘d say that’s already quite good. Keep it up!
I want you to stop pretending that you have nothing to do with the situation.
Now explain how the person voting agains the regime and protesting is rEsPoNsIbLe
god you’re so bad at trolling
Actually, that account is quite good at trolling, because people keep responding to it.
Stop. Downvote it, report it to the mods, block it, and move on. Don't feed trolls.
They literally called it "our regime"
Putin is really pushing it because Russia is spiraling down in a very tight "and then it got worse" loop that is getting shorter and shorter by the day.
Especially now that they've had to start selling off their gold reserves, which is going to crater the ruble even further.
Russia will not stick to any deal. Even the complete surrender and subjugation of Ukraine will just lead to Putin putting more focus on his actives in Europe.
Part of me wants to believe Diddlin Don wants to push this through ASAP so he can claim he did something "worthwhile" before he gets slammed with Epstein file controversy, but the cynic in me believes those files have already been fucked with and altered beyond actual use.
I'd like for Ukraine to reject this deal but we'll see what Zelensky does, I guess.
I talk out of my ass here, but I expect Zelenskyy to unzip his pants and make the helicopter with his cock in response to such a ridiculous and desperate attempt.
Nah keep on fighting, the Russian economy will collapse any day now
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
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.
