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!

[–] Norgur@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago

Oh yeah, two aging psychopaths jerking each other off with their respective victim narratives for an hour untill they cum hotnabd creamy bullshit all over the screen... Sounds very appealing this interview

If anybody wants to view some less biased Interview with Putin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Putin_Interviews

Of course Putin is a sociopath and excellent liar. But he's not a raving Hitler foaming at the mouth.

It would be a mighty shame if the interview broadcast experienced a distributed denial of service attack, wouldn't it? Thankfully for Putin, the west is above such chicanery and would never dream of screwing their opponents over like that.

[–] OofN@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Fucking yikes, I don’t know what else to say.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Ah so that's what Cucker is up to

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Maybe he can just stay.

[–] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

Dear Putin, me ole mucker, please send Carlson to fight for you in Ukraine. Cheers.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

At this point, it seems very prescient that red was chosen as the color of the con movement....maybe that's why tiny d always wears a red tie - maybe someone should feed that the Qtards.

Он в пуке держится?

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

This is going to be a trainwreck and I'll have a hard time looking away.

[–] Quacksalber@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I can picture the whole interview already.

Tucker: "Mr. Putin, why did you invade Ukraine?"

Putin: "We had many very legitimate reasons. Ukrainian nazis, US imperialism, NATO expansion."

Tucker: "What will it take for you to stop this war? Will you guarantee peace?"

Putin: "We are a very rational and forgiving people. We ask for nothing but the unconditional surrender of Ukraine. We will treat everyone with respect and we won't meddle with any other country outside Ukraine. KGB spy pinky-promise."

Tucker: "Mr. Putin, may I suck your cock?"

Putin: "You may."

*30 minutes of slurping noises*

If you would be keeping up with the news you would've known that, they wanted to discuss neutrality,

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-60901024

but then peace negations have been stalled on the ukrainan side, per request of the Brits.

https://www.commondreams.org/news/2022/05/06/boris-johnson-pressured-zelenskyy-ditch-peace-talks-russia-ukrainian-paper https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraine-must-not-be-pressured-into-bad-peace-deal-says-uk-pm-johnson-2022-06-07/

And after that they forbade em by law.

https://nypost.com/2022/10/04/zelensky-signs-law-declaring-talks-with-putin-impossible/

Hence, no Putin alone cannot stop the war. There is still too much pressure on all sides to keep the war going.

While poor guys on both sides are paying the highest price for someones wallet to be bigger.

Putin alone cannot stop the war

He can stop the war because he can command Russian army to leave Ukraine.

[–] feine_seife@feddit.de 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

OK and what about the civilans living there?

Do you know that they now have Russian citizensship and under Ukrainian Law will be either put in prisons or forced out?

[–] rdri@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is not something that can prevent Putin from removing army from a non Russian territory. If he is not an idiot, that is.

[–] feine_seife@feddit.de 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

He removes Army. Innocent non combatants die due to chaos.

Yes it is.

[–] rdri@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Putin withdrawing army from Ukraine will cause chaos instead of peaceful life - a chaos that would never happen if he continues killing people in this war.

Sure grandma, now let's get you to your bed.

[–] feine_seife@feddit.de 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

OK. just look at real word examples of the US Afganistan withdrawal. How many civilans do you think got killed? How many deliberately? Rewatch the videos, there is enough videos of people fleeing from the approching army, ( wich noted, is supported by the majority of afganistan ) And dying in they're attemnt. If you want that what happens in Kabul. You apperently don't want what is good for.the civilans.

[–] rdri@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

Are you kidding? You are saying the war is good for civillians.

"Let me invade your country and hold your territories and people hostage so you'll understand that if I stop the aggression then those people will most likely die. I will proceed with my aggression and hold more of your territories and people hostage, and you'll thank me for keeping those people safe" - Putin, probably.

Disgusting
