Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Does the US even provide anything to Ukraine anymore? Because I thought that at this point Ukraine is just fighting with weapons/gear they get from European countries and stuff they built for themselves. What leverage does he have on Ukraine? Can he stop providing them ammo? Lol no, the US apparently doesn't have enough for themselves. There's also the simple fact that European countries can just get stuff from the US and pass it on to Ukraine, and they're being more and more willingly to do it since Russia is starting to attack them.

Trump and everyone around him are such morons it's painful. If they wanted to have leverage over Ukraine they should have kept supplying them so they could hold those supplies over their heads in cases like these. Now it's just words nobody cares about.

What is he gonna do otherwise? Invade Ukraine? Support Russia militarily?

Man this kind of incompetence would be quite funny if there weren't so many people dying.

Sadly at least AFAIK weapons, Starlink (paid by Europe) and intel.

At the same time, Europe continued to rely heavily on weapons from the United States for its military aid

These are the findings of the latest update of the Ukraine Support Tracker, which covers aid allocations through June 2026.

Update August 13, 2026

Yea I know we rely on US equipment but what I'm saying is that we can order ammo for that equipment and pass it on. A lot of countries have passed on the equipment too. Trump could stop sale to the Europeans but that would cause a lot of headaches as there are already contracts in place for it and we are one of the larger markets.

Are you under the impression that Trump gives a fuck about Europe? The headaches are only going to be an issue if they're bigger than his domestic headaches with maintaining power. Contracts with Europe are only interesting for people with power to negotiate or cancel them. 😄

Trump knows he's either dying soon or going to jail, he doesn't care about anything except his image which he's too dumb to realize every country in the world sees right thro.
