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.

Summary

Russian official Dmitry Medvedev, a close ally of Vladimir Putin, suggested Donald Trump’s election victory may benefit Russia’s interests in Ukraine, citing Trump’s reluctance to fund “idiotic allies” and “voracious international organizations.”

Although Medvedev stopped short of celebrating, he hinted Trump’s aversion to foreign spending could weaken U.S. support for Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky cautiously congratulated Trump, recalling their recent discussion on U.S.-Ukraine cooperation.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov maintained a guarded tone, noting the U.S. remains an “unfriendly country” involved in the Ukraine conflict.

Without Biden Ukraine is gone. Europe doesn't have a single backbone to stand up to Russia. If they become Russia's beeswax, it's on them.

You don't know much about Europe do you, this was the final nail in the coffin of Atlanticism.

Well then, do enlighten me? Who's going to step up providing aid to Ukraine once US stops?

Europe has been fucking pumping money into Ukraine. Now we need to start pumping arms in. It is ludicrous to imagine that this hasn't been prepared for. The only question is whether our arms production capacity will be enough or ramp up quickly enough.

Everyone but Hungary and Serbia? Though Serbia is also fickle because Russia's annexation of the people's republics legitimises Kosovo's independence -- if you can gain statehood unilaterally with a BS referendum, you can definitely do it with a proper one. Hungary will only last as long as Orban, and he seems to be past his prime.

Or where you somehow under the impression that Europe is standing by idly while the US is doing all the work? They're providing surplus military equipment from their to-be-scrapped pile, that's pretty much it.
