Summary

Donald Trump’s return to the White House signals a shift toward “America First” foreign policies, emphasizing non-interventionism and trade protectionism.

Trump has vowed to end the Russia-Ukraine war “in a day” through negotiation, though critics argue his approach may weaken Ukraine’s position.

In the Middle East, he promises to bring “peace,” likely reverting to pro-Israel policies and a hard line on Iran, which could further destabilize the region.

On China, Trump may re-escalate trade tensions and take a tough stance on Taiwan by threatening severe tariffs to deter Chinese aggression.

They’re really watering down the fact that Trump literally already tried to Withdraw from NATO completely.

Nah, Russia could barely handle a Ukraine with heavy restrictions on how they could use weapons.

Poland could kick Russia’s ass.

Either way, it’s a catastrophy for the european economy. The past 5 years will feel like a walk in the park compared to what’s to come if Trump follows up on his promises. We’re talking about mass migration like we haven’t seen in 80 years and inflation that’s magnitudes worse than we’ve seen the past couple years. I’m almost looking forward to our elections next year in Germany because right wing will almost certainly win and then crumble under the pressure of what’s likely to come.

You’re forgetting that if Russia takes Ukraine it can use their resources to continue fighting.

Nazis were weak when they attacked Czechoslovakia and then Poland.

Hasn’t Poland been amassing arms? I’ll admit I’m not well versed in the area, but one creator I like to watch continues to mention that Poland has been on a massive buying spree.

Yes, but there is a quite a gap between ordering tanks and equipment and receiving said order.

South Korean armouries might have to start working overtime soon.

The EU could easily take on Russia militarily even if the latter weren’t already neck-deep in Ukraine.

Ukraine drank the kool-aid, and fooled themselves into thinking that if you slap a “freedom and democracy” sticker on and cozy up to the West, they’ll always back you no matter what.

In reality, countries behave as paranoid amoral assholes for a good reason.

Trump’s “concept of a plan” to end Ukraine war is easy, the day he is in office, he turns off the tap for money/weapons

Create post

A community for discussing events around the World

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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19

  • 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.
