Donald Trump’s administration is exerting heavy pressure on Ukraine, demanding that it agree to the American-Russian peace plan by Thanksgiving.

Details: According to the FT’s sources, the White House has set strict deadlines for the negotiation process, insisting that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy agree to the terms of the deal by Thanksgiving, which is celebrated in the United States on 27 November.
This is surrender that leaves them weakened for when Russia inevitably tried again after given the breather it needs to rearm. As Russia has done multiple times to Ukraine already…
How about fuck off instead?
This is the only answer. Russia is already debasing their currency and economy just to keep Putin from admitting failure.
I imagine that will be delivered by drone. To oil refineries.
Or something that looks expensive, anyways.
Unitedstatesian here: seriously, tell our regime to fuck off.
I despise “unitedatatesian” as a demonym. If you don’t like “American,” just say Yankee.
But yeah, Trump needs to either support Ukraine or fuck off. Our nvolvement is only desirable if it involves a shitload of material support to Kiev, not this backstabbing bullshit.
But why do you despise it? I’ve heard criticism for Americans taking ‘American’ when there are many many more countries in The Americas and have yet to see the term above until now, but it doesn’t bother me any.
I don’t disagree about “American” being too vague, or the implied cultural supremacy over the rest of the Americas, I just hate the specific term “Unitedatatesian” because it’s long and ridiculous. Besides, it doesn’t really solve the problem of vagueness, it just shifts the question from "Where in the Americas" to "Which United States," since (while the USA is probably the first country you think of when someone says “America” or “United States”) there are other federal republics, some of which use the same or similar language.
If you want to use a seperate word that’s more specific to the United States of America, we already have one that’s deeply connected to our history and culture, which is easy to say, and which won’t get us confused with people of any other country: “Yankee.” It’s even used already in a lot of countries, notably by the English, and variants of it are used in other countries.
In point of fact: a friend I have from Europe expressed amused appreciation when I first used that term with her, because “American” implies that people from the US are the only population that matters in The Americas (as in, North and South America), and that the default/accepted demonym has some implicit ownership/overlordship overtones, and I don’t disagree.

Ok, I’ll bite: realistically, what would you have me do, in addition to going to protests and generally not giving the fascists the rhetorical space to spew their insanity unopposed?
It’s a bot, according to the user name. You can safely ignore and block it.
I‘d say that’s already quite good. Keep it up!

Now explain how the person voting agains the regime and protesting is rEsPoNsIbLe
god you’re so bad at trolling
Actually, that account is quite good at trolling, because people keep responding to it.
Stop. Downvote it, report it to the mods, block it, and move on. Don’t feed trolls.
They literally called it “our regime”
Putin is really pushing it because Russia is spiraling down in a very tight “and then it got worse” loop that is getting shorter and shorter by the day.
Especially now that they’ve had to start selling off their gold reserves, which is going to crater the ruble even further.
Russia will not stick to any deal. Even the complete surrender and subjugation of Ukraine will just lead to Putin putting more focus on his actives in Europe.
Part of me wants to believe Diddlin Don wants to push this through ASAP so he can claim he did something “worthwhile” before he gets slammed with Epstein file controversy, but the cynic in me believes those files have already been fucked with and altered beyond actual use.
I’d like for Ukraine to reject this deal but we’ll see what Zelensky does, I guess.
I talk out of my ass here, but I expect Zelenskyy to unzip his pants and make the helicopter with his cock in response to such a ridiculous and desperate attempt.
Nah keep on fighting, the Russian economy will collapse any day now
