    I didn’t understand from the article, who’s the lander? It sounds like a huge dept trap, am I wrong?

      The United States and Europe stole Russian assets and is using the profit from those to make a loan to Ukraine. _What Russia and every other country on earth now knows is that you cannot trust the United States if you disagree with them and should not be holding your reserves in the US dollar, but instead should be holding them in gold and other assets that are not able to be seized by the United States.

        How shameful, what had Russia done to deserve such treatment?

        Gosh, I wonder what Russia might have done to piss off half the world and seize their funds.

        If any country pays attention to US foreign policy, they’ve known this for decades.

        I wonder if you’d feel the same way if Israeli assets were seized? I doubt it.

          Other countries should make it impossible for the US to seize anything without force being required. L

            That has nothing to do with my comment.

            Would you be okay if Israel’s assets were seized and the money given to Palestinian resistance groups? Because I’m guessing you would. That would be the ethical thing to do.

            Russia, obviously, is special to you. You’re against the ethical thing in that case, despite Putin also committing genocide.

              I am against the United States being able to seize the assets of other countries, whether it be Russia or Israel or Egypt or anywhere else. The US does not have the right to be able to just seize somebody’s assets. That’s called theft. And theft is wrong.

                That still has nothing to do with my comment. It’s very dishonest of you keep evading what I’m talking about.

      It’s a loan that the Russians are forced to repay with the profits of their assets.

      In a way it’s better than just giving them money, because instead of letting Ukraine get Russia’s bank account, they let them get some credit cards out in Russia’s name and go wild.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
    • Blogsites are treated in the same manner as social media sites. Medium, Blogger, Substack, etc. are not valid news links regardless of who is posting them. Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don’t allow those links either.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.

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.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

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.
