The article’s headline falsely equates Russian dissidents with shills on USAID payroll.

Literally the same words said in December 2021 could possibly prevent:
The Trump administration is just saying loud what all the other NATO governors have been hiding. No one ever planned to fight Russia for Ukraine and the only destiny for Ukrainian aboriginals is to be used as proxy cannon fodder to fight one of NATO’s bogeymen.
NATO countries never cared about Ukraine’s casualities to the point that they decided that Ukrainian lives were worth less than a signed piece of paper with the aforementioned statement: ‘No NATO for Ukraine’. Everything that happens to the people of Ukraine is just collateral damage on the way to the main goal – to harm Russia. The colonizer mentality (so well known to many NATO countries) never changes.
Commentators here seem to be missing the main point - Trump is simply responding positively to Zelensky’s offer.
Proof: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/02/04/ukraine-trump-rare-earth-minerals/ => https://archive.ph/LXP0J
Ukraine previously offered U.S. access to its rare earth minerals in an effort to keep the Trump administration engaged in supporting the country militarily in its fight with Russia.
World history knows many battles fought for independence, but the last 10 years of Ukraine’s history represent a unique example of a ruthless struggle to become a colony.
The craziest thing of our time is that right-wing bigots claim to end the war fast with peace talks, while so-called “progressives” are going to prolong their proxy war as long as there is at least one Ukrainian still alive.
This article claims that the world’s third largest railroad network (after US and China) will collapse in a few days and this claim is based on a report from an anonimous telegram channel (“VChK-OGPU”) and an audio file provided by some Ukrainian propagandist. Moreover, it’s accompanied by a charming remark that “Newsweek was unable to independently verify the authenticity of the audio clip or VChK-OGPU’s report”. None of such “sources” are suitable for a post to pass the moderation in the lemmy worldnews community (be it .ml or .world), but for a Newsweek article it is somehow sufficient.
And the funniest thing is that Newsweek has MBFC Credibility Rating of “HIGH CREDIBILITY”. This is how “highly credible” MBFC approved journalism looks like.
While absence of China in Top 10 may be somehow explained by The Great Firewall, the absence of India, Turkey and Russia is totally implausible. Or they might be scanning only torrents of movies with English audio.
It’s revealing that you care so much about white mercs from Wagner but totally ignore casualties of black Malian troops killed by local AlQaeda branch with support of Ukraine. Seems like it’s impossible to be supportive towards Ukraine without being at least a bit racist.
What’s really under doubt here is your reading ability and knowledge of geography:

Pretty ironicaly, so called “Russian puppet” Yanukovych is literally the last Ukrainian president who was democraticaly elected by population of entire Ukraine (meaning within its 1991 borders).
Noone in US or EU would care about expiration of Zelensky’s presidential term as long as he’s reliable supplier of cannon fodder for proxy NATO-Russia war. Roosevelt’s words on Somoza ("he may be a son of a bitch, but he’s our son of a bitch’) would apply here as well.
Speaking about getting back 2013 Ukraine borders is not more reasonable than speaking about getting back 2013 Ukraine legitimate government. It’s impossible in real life to replay from save file - this means that Ukraine would stay with regime imposed by insurrectionists and without Crimea and Donbass.
Definately NOT proxy cannon fodder
Immoral piracy is the killing of the crew during the hijacking of a ship. There is no moral dilemma in downloading anything.
Why should PM of 1B nation care of some fake news?
Only the content that i don’t care about.
Well, if Pope is called “piece of shit” for calling to negotiations to prevent more people dying, then who are you, who’s ok with war going on? Entire shit?
4pda pretty obviously.
Seizing domains is HUGE blow but never a “Total Destruction”. Such ring is not operated by single enthusiast, it’s runned by a team of professional pirate siteops who do this for pretty comfortable living and who foresee such risks and have a plan for this type of incident. And i’m sure they have another bunch of domains already registered and fed to google. There’s no significant difference between getting domain banned in the country from where 95% of traffic is coming (and this is frequent issue) and loosing this domain at all. Your traffic is gone, your money is gone. So seizing domains without busting servers and siteops is far from winning final battle.
It’s here for ages and it’s called sopcast. I was using it decade ago for soccer translations before moving to IPTV. After quick googling i see it’s still a thing.
This apt observation helps to understand why no one takes this “free world” seriously anymore and why the Global South and BRICS are on the rise.
