      I know who else needs a new president

          I doubt a new figurehead will help them much. A society that repeatedly elects someone like that orange shit stain on humanity is broken to the core, can’t fix that with replacing the top muppet.

            Por que no los dos?

            IDK how much a new president is going to help Ukraine tho, if they agree to peace and give up russian-majority territory, there will almost certainly be a fascist coup.

                  Porque no los tres?

                  Russia, Ukraine and US head figures all look a bit worse for wear.

                      I have no idea what happens when Putin gets got. From what I’ve heard, the alternatives are “conservatives LARPing as communists”, “fascists worse than putin”, and “liberals who will bring back the 90s”.

                      I’ve asked a few Russians what happens, they didn’t make any predictions.

                          Chinese protectorate?

                              Putin is a bit like the 4th contender for replacement, Bibi, in that he needs his war to keep going to protect his job.
                              Trump clearly thinks he needs one too.
                              I’m sure Zelenskyy would be happy to no longer be President but needs peace & a full electoral complement to justify calling an election.

                                Chinese foreign policy has been bad, but surely they wouldn’t do something that stupid.

                                Who cares about what happens after? The problem is the now.

                                    How do you think we got Putin? Turns out immiserating an entire country to make some money can have longer term effects.

                                        Maintaing the figure in power won’t solve anything either.

                              If Trump says Ukraine needs a new president, Zelensky must do something right.

                              But the headline, forwarded from hexbear, fits the pro-authoritarian propaganda, and one or two tankies are already in the thread applauding.

                                  You made that up.

                                  They’re mostly mocking Zelenskyy for expecting America to help Ukraine, given what we do to all our allies, not simply strip both sides for cheap labor and resources. Some of them are talking about whether dogs can be mayors.

                                              Roughly 100k tons of diesel iirc.

                                              Rules

                                              1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don’t overly distort the content.
                                              2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
                                              3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don’t post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don’t troll nor incite hatred. Don’t look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia’s List of fallacies.
                                              4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don’t question the statehood of Israel.
                                              5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add “/s” when you’re being sarcastic (and don’t use it to break rule no. 3).
                                              6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
                                              7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
                                              8. Don’t evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
                                              9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
                                              10. Always provide context with posts: Don’t post uncontextualized images or videos, and don’t start discussions without giving some context first.
