Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.



Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.

If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

US President Donald Trump said that the war in Ukraine has turned out to be more complicated than he expected. He noted that he had initially considered it the easiest at a Board of Peace meeting in Washington.

Ok everyone I know we thought Trump was going to end the Ukraine war super fast, but Trump isn't perfect, sometimes things are hard for him! For example remembering where he is going in a sentence or covering up evidence he is a pedophile are both things he struggles with.

Oh no! That means he's down to only seven/eight other wars he's resolved, right?

Let's go through them:

  • Albania and Aberbaijan - he meant Armenia and Azerbaijan; and according to their leaders he might have actually played a part in this in spite of his comical geographic gaffs. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on this one. ✔️
  • Albania and Thighland - he probably meant Cambodia and Thailand, in which case his ceasefire fell through, and the one that actually took wasn't due to him. ❌
  • Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda - not resolved despite his claims, fighting still continues. ❌
  • Israel and Iran - you can't call heavily tipping the scales for one side as brokering peace; plus it looks like he's unilaterally dragging the US into a new conflict with Iran. ❌
  • India and Pakistan - India doesn't acknowledge the US played a significant part in peace talks, so this can't really be counted. ❌
  • Israel and Hamas - this one could only be considered a success if you're Israel. But even then, it hasn't done anything to prevent the genocide in Gaza, and now he's just angling to exploit all that 'empty' land for himself and his cronies. ❌
  • Ethiopia and Egypt - there's hasn't been war here for ages, so it's a false claim. ❌
  • Serbia and Kosovo - relations remain strained, and no peace agreement was signed. ❌

Fact check: It wasn’t ‘in jest.’ Here are 53 times Trump said he’d end Ukraine war within 24 hours or before taking office

I don't understand, what is YSK about this? This is US politics, and doesn't provide any good content related to this community as far as I can tell.

[–] KingGordon@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I wont post my normal Ha Ha! meme because this is serious.

But no shit it’s hard, you fucking moron.

Can we stop turning YSK into yet another US politics comm?

No, I don't have to know what senseless drivel last drooled out of his front-facing shithole.

[–] Toga77@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Guys I'm starting to thing Donald Trump isn't fit to be president...

[–] JubilantJaguar@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

What the hell is this completely random news article doing here? Seriously. Moderation needed.

[–] spongebue@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I mean, I'll admit that I figured his solution would be to simply make sure Ukraine folds to Putin within 24 hours and that hasn't happened. It's a bar so low that it's just sitting on the ground, but at least he hasn't gone that low in that way yet

[–] BillyClark@piefed.social 11 points 1 month ago

Uhh that was Trump's original solution that he publicly proposed. The problem is that he wasn't actually able to do it because it was impossible.

He might as well have come up with the solution to make the sun rise in the west instead of the east so that Ukraine could make a surprise attack on the morning when the light was in the Russians' eyes.

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Why would they fold though? This idea that Ukraine was merely a puppet that would concede to literally any demands from the US was always ridiculous.

[–] TheKracken@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

It's because Donnie is surrounded by sycophants, so he thinks he can do anything. When he encounters someone who doesn't immediately fold he's surprised. I.e. see Iran.

[–] spongebue@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Maybe my wording wasn't great, but I'm thinking more along the lines of arms sales, other support, and Russian sanctions, which would make things a lot harder for Ukraine if they went away

[–] LibertyLizard@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 month ago

I don't think even that would work. He could certainly hamper the war effort but the US isn't the only ally Ukraine has. I don't think they would capitulate unless there was major movement on the front line and a total defeat seemed possible.

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

In case anybody was shocked by the headline: no, he did not say he was wrong.

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Why does he always want to sound like a cowboy?

Ffs he doesn’t even wear a single cowboy item.

He really should though, being the second hand car dealership scam artist that he is…

[–] Widdershins@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Remember when his nazi buddy wore a cowboy hat backwards? I was surprised the Marlboro Man himself didn't rise from his tarry grave to knock that shit off.
