    This shouldn’t be a surprise, but it’s still outrageous and probably a lot more damaging than simply stopping future aid. Russia’s economy is crippled and they are struggling to supply their military to keep up the war effort. Dropping the sanctions would not only give them a huge economic boost, it would also potentially allow them to buy things they can’t manufacture on their own.

    A plurality of voters chose to elect a puppet who has effectively turned the US into a Russian vassal state. But at least eggs are cheap and plentiful and we have peace in the middle east, right?

      it would also potentially allow them to buy things they can’t manufacture on their own.

      Namely, weapons with advanced computer chips in them.

    So when do we start placing bets on when Trump starts sending weapons to Russia?

        Damn you’re probably right, He’s been taking back the classified documents seized from Mar-a-lago a couple years ago. Who knows what else they’re taking as well.

      I don’t understand why Trump would give Putin free access to US shit when he could have sold it instead. Unless he did sell it wholesale this time.

        We all know he sold it. It’s not like he’s doing any of this for anyone but himself.

          tbh a massive influx of foodstuffs we’re short on and ultimately lower consumer prices is probably better than what we’re actually going to get, which is probably a future Trump tower in Moscow or some stupid BS.

        He probably did sell it and the payment went to him personally. Trump is a loser who didn’t have enough money to pay his civil judgements just a few years ago. The money, if it does indeed exist, was never going to the US treasury.

    There we go. Putin is upset that after his invasion of Ukraine and occupation of Crimea in 2014 he faced consequences.

    Then, somehow, didn’t expect his second invasion to trigger more sanctions.

      I thought russians say sanctions make them stronger. They should be asking for more sanctions.

    I think most people expected those sanctions to end eventually.

    But they also expected that to happen after Russia withdrew from occupied territory in Ukraine and ceased hostilities at any of their borders.

              They don’t “only affect the common people” but you keep telling yourself that. Yes you are completely lost, it is quite sad.

A community for discussing events around the World

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.
