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.

It’s time for Europe and the rest of the world to sort out Putin. No time to waste on wasters.

Also, while they're at it, there's another problem they could solve...

Trump criticized Zelensky for wanting US missiles, stating: "Listen, when you start a war, you got to know that you can win the war, right? You don't start a war against somebody that's 20 times your size. And then hope that people give you some missiles."

yeah, he never should've started it by getting invaded by Russia. he never should've done that. and also Biden, somehow. we don't know what he did, but I'm sure he did something to start this whole thing

Using the same Russian speak, the way Putin says

Maybe Ukraine shouldn't have dressed so provocatively? FFS...

"DON'T RESIST, AND YOU'LL GET A REWARD"

I don't know how they came up with a MORE rape-y thing than "we're gonna protect women, whether they want it or not," and yet, here we are.

They shouldn't flaunt all these minerals

Technically correct. If Ukraine folded to Russian aggression, there would be no war. Just Russian tanks peacefully visiting Europe like it was 1964.

Which is why I'll close with: Slava Ukraini!

PS: looking purely at impact of military investments (albeit in a foreign military) Joe Biden might be the American leader that managed to inflict the largest Russian military losses since the second World War, at the cost of practically 0 American lives.

Might as well also blame Hispanic immigrants and cover all the bases.

And trans people, seems like they are flavor of the decade

Trump and his administration are fucking disgusting. Devoid of morals, ethics, a stain on humanity.

The senile orange freak can blame anyone about anything. It has zero value.

I want to strap Trump to the front of a tank and let it drive forward.

Lead diplomatic talks from the front, stupid turd.

That's awful, how could you say that? It'd be an environmental nightmare.
