Rules:

The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. (If you're only using an excerpt from an article that's otherwise not about LAMF, you can use the quote in the title.) Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

No, but I think a more likely scenario is that he simply abandons Ukraine. I don't think he cares about it either way, so why would he send any troops? He'll just ignore what is happening there and that's it.

Nah, he'll do it because Putin wants it and he'll get a "massive trade deal" out of it.

The deal will be to disassemble BRICS and come back to the table of hegemony. All for the low low price of a little piece of land in Europe. And Trump will come out looking like a hero to all business interests because they get to suck on the teat of Eastern money once again.

I think the UN would get very upset about it though. I'm sure he'll try but I really can't see it working the way he thinks it will it's not like the rest of the world is just going to stand by and allow the US to start dictating global policy.
