Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
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.
That's all the rules!

Putin's strapped for cash too.
The ruble is in the toilet. All of the oligarchs' foreign assets are frozen. The "two-week special military operation" in Ukraine has dragged on since 2022.
It was supposed to be three days in fact.
Did the Swiss banks finally stop laundering money for them?
Or have they been running the ~~way~~ war mostly with Chinese loans lately?
Putin has been using the Russian reserves as his personal piggy bank for decades. That worked fine when Russia was able to make money hand over fist selling oil to and gas to Europe, but now he has to use the Russian financial reserves to pay for the war
Dunno but Switzerland is joining NATO...
Sweden != Switzerland
Next you're gonna tell me that Norway ≠ Nigeria!
All I know is, I've never gotten an email from a Norwegian prince offering me money.
Putin probably has billions of dollars squirreled away in banks all over the world. He’s been extorting oligarchs for huge kickbacks for decades now. If they don’t pay up they find themselves shipped to Siberia or thrown out a window.
