Summary

Russian official Dmitry Medvedev, a close ally of Vladimir Putin, suggested Donald Trump’s election victory may benefit Russia’s interests in Ukraine, citing Trump’s reluctance to fund “idiotic allies” and “voracious international organizations.”

Although Medvedev stopped short of celebrating, he hinted Trump’s aversion to foreign spending could weaken U.S. support for Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky cautiously congratulated Trump, recalling their recent discussion on U.S.-Ukraine cooperation.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov maintained a guarded tone, noting the U.S. remains an “unfriendly country” involved in the Ukraine conflict.

      Lemmy and the Fediverse as a whole is a microcosm that doesn’t make much of a difference one way or the other. We can stab at the tankies all we like, but it wasn’t their influence in the Fediverse that caused the result, even if they did manage to hoodwink a few into voting for fake tan man.

        It wasn’t their influence alone, of course not.

        They were just part of the bigger propaganda machine that infiltrated so many social media sites.

        Taking a broader perspective, social media and those who manipulate it played a huge role in Trump’s win. And Lemmy’s part of that, like it or not.

        That certainly is very possible. They all sound like the same person. Or, like they have a specific game plan they all have to adhere to. Almost like a job ;)

      Oh please, 20 million voters that didn’t vote wasn’t affected by the rantings of a few people on Lemmy or Reddit.

      Lol y’all will never learn. This is the whole Bernie Bros cost Clinton the election. Why don’t you take a look at the real reasons she never was going to win.

      Nah I think it was Elon “Goebbels 2” Musk more than them. They didn’t help but he should get all the credit.

        Yeah the convenient takeover of the vessel people use to express opinions was certainly a huge factor in spreading pro-trump material.

      That would almost be funny again. So why didn’t you vote?

      I was gonna, but then some people on a forum didn’t like her.

      You deserve him if THAT is what it takes.
