Rules:

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.

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.

Wonder what Trump will do to stop this

[–] GenesisClimber@lemmy.ca 75 points 2 days ago (2 children)

He'll try to stop/derail it if he can't claim ownership of the results.

The whole mineral rights stuff is going to be interesting to see play out. Because Zelenskyy, and Ukrainians in general, should very much beware Yankees bearing “gifts” at this point, because we are not the same country we were 6 months ago.

It's not like he needs to uphold the deal beyond ending the war. The US certainly doesn't honour its agreements anymore.

It's an odd one, because it only applies to new developments. As far as anyone knows, Ukraine doesn't have any rare earths worth mining, and doesn't have a lot else new to mine, either. However, that's based on old geological surveys. They might well have something, but it's all speculation.

It would be really hilarious if it turns out that they’re like “yeah sorry it’s just uninteresting rocks and terrestrial strata”

Trump never gave a shit about peace to begin with; he just wanted to fellate Putin.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Remember that Trump ultimately betrays everyone. The fact that he hasn't done it to Putin yet is unusual, but it doesn't mean it won't happen.

True, however Putin is the dominate dog here. Krasnov is weak, confused and incompetent.

Zelenskyy: US has sent 20,000 missiles bound for Ukraine to Middle East instead

[–] JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nothing makes a US President feel better after a bad day like bombing the middle east

Redirect 20,000 anti-drone missiles away from Ukraine, apparently

[–] DrFistington@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

They should do Trump next. Americans will gladly pay for it

Right now it looks more like that'll be a Musk project.
