Without looking I assumed it was Russia and Israel due to Epstein being so buddy buddy with them. Odd that it's Kazakhstan, but I'm also assuming these are the only 2 countries we know of SO FAR.

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.
-
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.

Release it then
release them!
If Kazakhstan did have it, they would have already used it in some capacity.
I expect maybe putin to keep it in his back pocket because he's capable of using it tactically to leverage massive geopolitical moves like averting/sparking WW3.
Israel and Russia are my guesses.
My opinion: America will split in half. We are two peoples now - one who has willingly become Morlocks, the other a society of at least decent and somewhat intelligent people.
I personally no longer see members of MAGA as fellow Americans. They are the flesh of an enemy nation, who would gladly ravage humanity for their pleasure.
At least, hopefully, "members of MAGA" doesn't actually include everyone who was ignorant/misinformed enough to vote for him.
This is, of course, no excuse for the vote.
But you're going to need all the help you can get.

Guess we found out if Putin had the tapes
What if it was the video of him getting an object shoved up his ass so hard on Epstein Island causing him to wear a diaper and constantly shit his pants.
With Bubba Ghislines horse? Or Bubba the president? Or both?
Oh god, i hope that never leaks.
if someone rickrolled me with that, I would be throwing up for the rest of my life.
Release the pee tape!
Prove it, release it.
