Oh yes, like how the US is totally showing how far their support goes for their allies?
In times of falling empires, it’s each for themselves. The big ones are each securing critical resources, that’s it.

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.

The US isn't just leaving its allies behind, it's actively threatening to attack them (see: Greenland / Denmark) even as it has signed a formal mutual-defense agreement. I'd say in practice the US is worse than Russia.
Kurds joined the chat.
To be fair, anyone thinking that a military ally won't betray you is ridiculously naive.
War has been working that way for all written history. Allies of one day turns into foes the next , and loyal allies and mercenary will bail out when shit hits the fan
Sure, but some people have more pride and integrity than others. My point is the US has less.
So "war works that way" explains the US self destructively nuking its alliances for absolutely no gain whatsoever?
Actually it does not explain it.
Well US has guy from Moscow leading the country.
I think Bibi (through Mossad kompromat) has way more pull on Trump, right? Regardless, let's not forget: he was democratically elected, a chunk of Americans support and idolise him and the man, like anyone else, has free will. His moves are not "Russian inspired", it's pure selfish amorality, in a very non-chalant Western way. 🤷
At this point i feel like US just has a pedophile and whoever knows his secret gets to play with him. It was Putin's turn, now it's the genocidal demon's turn.
it's not like one thing excludes the other tho
That’s my point
Yeah! What about the US?
Lol, you get exactly what can be expected when dealing with m*scovites.
Putin's from St Petersburg.
he can be from Rio de Janeiro, and m*scovites would not change at all.
I hate it when I find myself agreeing with Medvedev.
"The peacekeeper is at it again. The talks with Iran were just a cover. Everyone knew that.”
how many nuclear threats were generated by this clown this week?
Meanwhile Russia has been faking interest in peace tapas with Ukraine just the same tho
Peace tapas... Just a little peace... Unironically funny.
Haha we’ll let it ride
Obviously. This is because Russia's newest partner is the US now.
Armenia, too.
the limit is near the window or novichik, this helps putin sorta, by distracting us from russia while focusing on iran instead.
These guys never learn that they're all thieves. No honor among thieves.
shiuld have been obvious when his new toy git elected twice. Iran fucked up not getting nukes same as Ukraine. Nukes are the only you can insure a place with valuable reasources can protect itself. Expecting some of the most greedy and twofaced global leaders to actually do anything is hilarious.
The American empire and vassals once again act as the enemies of humanity they always have been and the response is "lol the other side won't help!!!". Can the victim blaming be any more blatant?
What a childish worldview.
