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.

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.

European leaders including from Germany, France and Britain will join Volodymyr Zelenskiy to meet Donald Trump in Washington, they said on Sunday, seeking to shore up his position as the U.S. president presses Ukraine to accept a quick peace deal.

Trump is leaning on Zelenskiy to strike an agreement after he met Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin in Alaska, and on Sunday promised "big progress on Russia" in a social media post without specifying what this might be.

At face value, some of Putin's demands would be hugely difficult for Ukraine to accept, setting the stage for potentially fraught talks about ending Europe's deadliest war in 80 years, which has dragged on for 3-1/2 years and killed or wounded more than 1 million people.

Its not a deal when an imperialist psycho wants your entire country and everyone in it dead because the believe the Russia empire needs to be ressurected.

Any peace deal will just be broke in 6 months to a year. There is no deal except get the fuck out of Ukraine you Russian imperialist piece of shit.

Smart move by Zelenskyy to avoid being ganged up on like the last time by Trump and his sound-byte seeking stooges.
