KYIV — U.S. President Donald Trump finally labeled Russia the aggressor in the war against Ukraine, further demonstrating a hardening of his position toward Moscow.
Referring to Ukrainian and Russian troop casualties, Trump told reporters Sunday: “8,000 soldiers have died this week, from both countries. Some more from Russia, but when you’re the aggressor, you lose more.”
Trump has previously refused to condemn Moscow for the invasion, with his administration siding with Russia and North Korea in February to reject a U.N. motion backing Ukraine’s territorial integrity and condemning Russia. The U.S also objected to a G7 statement calling Russia an aggressor in February. Trump has blamed Ukraine for the war, saying in April: “You don’t start a war against someone 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles.”
But Trump’s stance toward the Kremlin has changed over the summer, with his administration exerting increasing pressure on Vladimir Putin as the Russian president stonewalls Trump’s efforts to broker direct peace talks with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
He finally has enough liquid cash from crypto that he can pay off all the Russian loans. But I don’t think he realizes that you are never really an “ex”-Russian Asset. Oh, and he should probably stay away from tea for a while…

Yeah I mean Linux is just better
Lemmy should have a comment wizard that just presents this text as the first option.
This sounds a lot like windows behavior
“Hi 👋 it looks like the comment you’re replying to mentions windows 👀 would you like me to compose a quick comment about Linux being better?
I run on Arch btw.”
I’m so tired of people thinking the man at the helm of the largest military and paramilitary force on the planet is terrified of a few Russian gangsters breaking his thumbs over loan money.
Nevermind that this fundamentally misunderstands their relationship (Trump was laundering money for the Russian [and Italian and probably a few other] mafiosi, not borrowing from them). It pretends that he’s a schmuck who got in too deep with a couple of loan sharks, rather than the head of a white nationalist fascist coup within the halls of the US Government who has fallen in and out with a rival fascist dictatorship on the opposite side of the planet.

Now that I think about it… I wonder if his stroke was partially a result of his meeting with Putin…
