    The US is also reported to have sent a letter to European states, asking what troops they are willing to supply to a peacekeeping force.

    One European diplomat said that “it appears Europe is going to be asked to police a deal that it had no direct hand in negotiating. In the meantime, Donald Trump is seeking to take 50% control of Ukraine’s rare minerals”.

    The peacekeeping force is needed against the USA and Russia together.

    This is for the US readers: 🖕

    But also Canada should be invited. Holding my other finger for now.

      It’s fair to assume most Americans on the Fediverse didn’t vote for Trump so I think this antagonisation is entirely unnecessary.

        Anyone who gets on Lemmy and openly supports Trump gets stomped on pretty badly. We don’t stand for that kind of person here.

        I think it’s terrible. But I think it’s necessary because it’s on the scale of nations that they treat us.

          No. At the end of the day, people are people. The elites are who we should turn against, no matter the nation. The common people mostly aren’t bad and face similar issues across national borders. We’re more equal to each other than we are to the elites who run our countries. Nationalism is only harmful and divisive.

      Could you please change your post so it says this instead:

      This is for the trump-supporting US readers: 🖕

      We need to be united with our allies. We have our differences, but we need each other. The USA is economically smaller than China and Russia, and Europe is militarily smaller than China alone. But together, we are twice as strong as China, both economically and militarily.

      Someone might decide to take the chance and attack a peer. But not someone twice as strong. The result is peace. That’s more important than our anger with the orange rapist.
