[u/SpaceJays90s]

Lmao

Not even bothering with a facade anymore.

[u/Dockers4flag2035orB4 → u/SpaceJays90s]

“Trump is a traitor to the West”

Kevin Rudd, former Australian Prime Minister and Ambassador to USA.

[u/diamanthaende → u/Dockers4flag2035orB4]

The “West” as a concept is dead. The sooner Europeans realise this fact, the better.

We need to focus on strengthening alliances with likeminded countries like Canada, Australia, Japan and others instead, which fortunately is actually happening.

[u/larsmaehlum → u/diamanthaende]

Yeah. The free world is probably a more apt term going forward, and the US is not free.

[u/godtogblandet → u/diamanthaende]

Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea etc. have always been part of the west. The west isn’t dead, the US is just leaving the west. Everyone else is still here.

[u/FlametopFred → u/diamanthaende]

that is exactly what has been happening with all “middle powers” forming key alliances

[u/dennis77 → u/Dockers4flag2035orB4]

Not just Trump, but the US in general. It's not that Trump just became a president for no reason

[u/999ddd999 → u/SpaceJays90s]

America is now officially Russian vassal state thanks to compromised Putin’s agent Trump sitting in the White House.

[u/InternationalMix1521 → u/999ddd999]

It’s ok to say agent Krasnov.

[u/Babajji → u/InternationalMix1521]

Donald Trumpanov 😂

[u/Sky_HUN → u/999ddd999]

Don't worry, i'm sure we will see millions of americans marching in Washington, demanding Trump to be removed...

Any day now

[u/Alternative-Form9790 → u/Sky_HUN]

"But muh healthcare!".

All while expecting ordinary Iranians to rise up against their own government.

[u/Frydendahl → u/Alternative-Form9790]

Ordinary Iranians have risen up a lot more than ordinary Americans have, despite facing death for just not wanting women beaten to death for not wearing a fucking head scarf.

[u/InternationalMix1521 → u/Sky_HUN]

Just don’t hold your breathe.

[u/xer717 → u/InternationalMix1521]

Just don’t hold your breathe.

You kinda have to when you're anywhere near Trump though.

[u/Scaballi → u/Sky_HUN]

Can’t this weekend, gotta watch football first

[u/MediumProcedure → u/999ddd999]

This was the moment I've been waiting for. They've been slow walking up till they were ready.

These data centers are to take full informational control, and to dominate all not-in-person communication. They obviously feel that their political parties in other countries are now strong enough to use any attempt to control this as a call to 'fight back against censorship of free speech' both in the courts and on the streets.

[u/filipinoboy11 → u/SpaceJays90s]

I do wonder what the point is. You want to build data centers in your country because they are a critical resource that can be cut off in times of war. What would be the point of the US building data centers in Russia?

The US just acquired Venezuela. If they wanted cheap land with a population that cant resist they can just build there.

[u/ABoutDeSouffle → u/filipinoboy11]

The only explanation that makes sense to me is either the big US datacenter players and digital companies get to roll up the Russian market or they want to use it as a cheap country for mass compute - lots of fossil fuel sources, nuclear as well.

[u/KHRZ → u/ABoutDeSouffle]

They are literally just doing it so Trump can rage at Ukraine when Ukraine blows up Russian data centers, just like Trump's imaginary refinery ceasefire was all about.

[u/alexi513 → u/filipinoboy11]

they‘ll call the existing data centers part of the deal or whatever to make Ukraine stop attacking them. Trump needs them for the Russian midterm campaign support.

as always, there will be no actual deal or result. just like the Diesel deal

[u/Hezron_ruth → u/filipinoboy11]

The point is, that the Ukraine can not destroy them, if they are US Datacenter. That's the whole point.

[u/redskrot → u/SpaceJays90s]

This doesn't even make the news in USA.
Not even the democratic ones.

No one really cares over there.

[u/Mixer-3007 → u/SpaceJays90s]

Here comes the DOGE from Musk with stolen data.

[u/VladThe1mplyer → u/SpaceJays90s]

They need those Russian bots to swing elections and drive narratives.

[u/Bicentennial_Douche]

This way USA can accuse Ukraine of attacking US interests when they hit Russian data centers. 

[u/apathy-sofa → u/Bicentennial_Douche]

Or run Russian cyber attacks from American soil, where Ukraine can't counterattack. I think that the Yandex attacks hurt. 

What's in it for trump? Russia can continue running bots against Americans. 

[u/dutch_meatbag → u/apathy-sofa]

The videos of him fucking kids don’t get released.

[u/callmeRosso → u/dutch_meatbag]

Even if said videos released, the MAGA cancer wouldn't care and the Orange turd wouldn't be arrested.

[u/dat_9600gt_user → u/Bicentennial_Douche]

Donald being a Russian puppet? No way!

[u/GremlinX_ll → u/Bicentennial_Douche]

This way USA can accuse Ukraine of attacking US interests

Not the first time

[u/Professional_Fix4056 → u/Bicentennial_Douche]

judging by their Iranian expedition, Ukraine has nothing to fear

[u/Any-Original-6113]

I hope this marriage of convenience between Putin and Trump is over soon.

[u/StrangerExistingFact → u/Any-Original-6113]

03 November midterm elections usa

[u/silver454 → u/StrangerExistingFact]

I have zero faith in the Americans at this point.

[u/Steveagogo → u/silver454]

Trump could cancel elections and declare himself king, and all they’d do is post a few angry tweets in response

[u/maginster → u/Steveagogo]

Against all tyrants! Second amendment for the win! /s

[u/SeenB4 → u/Steveagogo]

Lots of "we really should X" and "can we X" with little action following it. Have to say however that we Europeans are getting quite good at that too

[u/Patriark → u/SeenB4]

The fascists around the world is lulling us into a sense of depoliticization. “It won’t matter”, “it’s a lost cause”, “I’ll lose my job”, “with time it will solve itself”, “candidate b is not much different to candidate a” etc.

Less and less people devoting time and effort to participate in civil society or to protect institutions. Who’s there to fill the void? Big Daddy.

[u/SeenB4 → u/Patriark]

Correct, we have no reason to fall for nihilism as long as we have the power to change things. Also if the Ukrainians are holding strong then we have 0 excuses not to do either in the safety of our homes.

[u/Djuren52 → u/Steveagogo]

That makes me think - what did become of the No Kings protests?

[u/Agitated_Custard7395 → u/Djuren52]

0.1% of the population rocked up for about an hour on the weekend then went home

[u/elchedio → u/Agitated_Custard7395]

To complain on Reddit

[u/20past4am → u/Agitated_Custard7395]

But don't forget they had silly signs and costumes, that'll show 'em!

[u/Blazured → u/20past4am]

Don't make fun of those American parades or they might get their representatives to sit in silence and wear pink.

[u/slitchbapper → u/Djuren52]

You mean the one time street festival with whimsical signs that was in no way an actual demonstration?

[u/Mysterious-Oil-7094 → u/Djuren52]

There’s one today. Trump allies bought or already controlled all the major news networks and the tech industry is in bed with him. So they’re doing everything they can in the US to suppress anything that is critical of the orange monkey, that’s why there’s not that much coverage anymore. It’s similar to what putin did when he came in power, made all media “state sanctioned”, if you control the news, you can influence what people do and don’t see.

[u/Judazzz → u/Mysterious-Oil-7094]

And yet, we had plenty of footage coming out of Iran during their popular uprising a while ago. And they had an actual media and internet black-out, unlike the US, which still has freely accessible, open internet and plenty of independent/non-captured media outlets left. Americans claiming that they cannot organize, are being silenced or unable to get footage into circulation are full of it and merely hiding behind a flimsy non-excuse to keep sitting around with their thumbs up their asses.

[u/odessa_cabbage → u/Steveagogo]

“The second amendment is necessary to protect citizens from evil government!” then proceed to bootlick evil government.

[u/ComeonmanPLS1 → u/silver454]

This + they will do everything in their power to rig it.

[u/houfman → u/silver454]

« I could say the stupidest things and you’d clap »

And clap they did…

[u/sexmormon-throwaway → u/silver454]

Well, FOR FUCKING SURE, Trump is going to try to void the elections. I live in a conservative area and the feeling, even here, is that the GOP is fucked. But I do believe it will be voided elections and then a declared crisis that mobilizes the national guard and ICE right in cities. Then we better fucking protest in mass. It's our last fucking shot.

[u/ABoutDeSouffle → u/sexmormon-throwaway]

The USA needs more guys like you! We all do.

[u/Antique-Brief1260 → u/StrangerExistingFact]

Hate to say it, but after the midterms, things could be even worse for the rest of us. If trump loses control of even one house of Congress, then that's his domestic presidency over. All he'll have is foreign affairs, and he'll be throwing a huge fucking tantrum because he lost.

[u/systonia_ → u/Antique-Brief1260]

I fear that he is going out there like "f em. If I go down, I take you with me and I'll burn it to the ground while doing so"

[u/alexanderluko → u/systonia_]

I would totally expect Trump to do something like that. It wouldn't surprise me at all.

"I'm old and dying soon, might as well make everything else burn too."

[u/RepulseRevolt → u/StrangerExistingFact]

Trump’s sending his ICE/SA thugs to polling locations, if that doesn’t work, he’ll declare martial law

[u/AlwaysReadyGo → u/StrangerExistingFact]

Although Congress can exert some influence, US foreign policy is largely driven by the White House, so losing the midterms would not necessarily bring about a significant change in direction.

[u/Judazzz → u/AlwaysReadyGo]

It also implies that the American trias politica/separation of powers still has a any meaning. In reality, the US is ruled by decree and is completely at the whim a group of corrupt neo-fascists that face pretty much zero actionable push-back or consequences.

[u/Blue_Rook → u/StrangerExistingFact]

The tangerine traitor can still veto everything coming from Congress.

[u/Mean_Initiative_5962 → u/StrangerExistingFact]

Yeah, keep dreaming... They're all hopeless, that country is beyond saving

[u/Gangleri_Graybeard → u/StrangerExistingFact]

There are no boundaries to American stupidity. I lost all faith in this country at this point. They will vote republican again, the blatant corruption will continue.

[u/SlueCcroll → u/StrangerExistingFact]

Still after those elections, Trump has all the say in the american defense, so there will littterly be no difference, it simply goes on for abother 2 years. And our incompetent, European politicians are NOT seeing this. Prepare yourselfves.

[u/General_Cheetah4724]

trump likes helping the worst countries and people he can find

[u/digiorno → u/General_Cheetah4724]

It makes sense when you view it as a class war. The absolute richest and most powerful people in the world view themselves as on the same team and they are all trying to figure out how to best subjugate the rest of us.

[u/Mean_Initiative_5962 → u/General_Cheetah4724]

And americans keep whining that "noooo people who didn't vote aren't complicit in him getting elected". Bonch of spineless, brainless, assholes.

[u/radaway → u/Mean_Initiative_5962]

They are just like Russians they don't do shit while their government robs them blind and does atrocities.

[u/Timoroader → u/Mean_Initiative_5962]

They truly are, aren't they?

[u/UltraCynar → u/Mean_Initiative_5962]

100%. 

[u/Brrdock → u/General_Cheetah4724]

I mean he owes his precidency to Russian bot farms

[u/TheLightDances → u/General_Cheetah4724]

Trump called Putin a genius when he started the invasion in 2022. And Americans still flocked to vote for him. Not to mention his long-standing self-described love for Kim Jong Un. The man is honestly gay for all sorts of authoritarians.

[u/fallsdarkness → u/General_Cheetah4724]

who would have thought he'd be like that after his first term /s

[u/LazyGandalf → u/General_Cheetah4724]

As Zelenskyy put it in a recent interview, Trump has an instinctive affinity for autocrats and the super-wealthy.

[u/alloutofchewingum]

The Russians cannot be stupid enough to believe any agreements made will survive a day beyond the end of Agent Orange's term.

[u/Ell2509 → u/alloutofchewingum]

His term never ends.... they are counting on the democratic process failing.

Edit: to everyone saying he will die soon. It doesn't matter. Once he has finished smashing down the institutions of your democracy, pushed into his third term, whatever, your democracy is gone. Each subsequent election will be more and more obviously rigged, like Russia. You need to save your democracy today, if you value it. I wish I could do it for you, but I can't.

[u/AliceLunar → u/Ell2509]

He's an 80 year old fat piece of garbage, can't be that much longer.

[u/grympy → u/AliceLunar]

It’s not just him, he’s the face of this org….

[u/TowJamnEarl → u/Ell2509]

I'm worried it will.

National State of Emergency incoming.

[u/Ell2509 → u/TowJamnEarl]

Yep. If it is so foreseeable that even plebs from another continent (like me) can see it, it is either a thundering blitzkreig of a coup, or some people are faking the resistance.

[u/Omateido → u/Ell2509]

Counting on it failing? No, they’re counting on sabotaging it.

[u/xyzsomething → u/alloutofchewingum]

Assuming there’s an end to it

[u/alloutofchewingum → u/xyzsomething]

Well hopefully he'll die of a catastrophic anal prolapse any day now.

[u/roger3rd → u/alloutofchewingum]

The plan doesn’t include a peaceful transfer of power

[u/rvingthrulife → u/roger3rd]

People really need to understand this.

[u/ThatOneTimeItWorked → u/alloutofchewingum]

trump doesn’t want to let go of power. He wants exactly what Putin has - unquestioned leadership where anyone who objects disappears

[u/Particular_Ticket_20 → u/alloutofchewingum]

They also know the controversy this will cause. Whether it actually happens or not, it deepens the divides in the US.

They manipulate trump so easily by appealing to his vanity and his desperate need for putin to see him as an equal

[u/Brief_Mode9386 → u/alloutofchewingum]

2 years is a long time for Mordor, they are desperate for anything. End of the day the US will be the ultimate loser. The orange KGB asset has already made decades worth of damage already anyway. After the russians lose the US to the democrats they have already gotten most of what they could out of the US. They are ramping up the damage the closer the US midterms are getting, since it looks like they are gonna lose anyway.

[u/BalianofReddit → u/alloutofchewingum]

As long as they get access to whatever trade secrets they can they dont care

Theres a good chance any agreements with russia dont even last until February, let alone past the orange man's term.

[u/Jensbert → u/alloutofchewingum]

Its the Ticket for the US to start bombing in Ukraine

[u/Ashen233]

Traitors

[u/boterkoeken → u/Ashen233]

It’s true. It’s been obvious for a long time. But the question is: will we do anything to fight back against these traitors?

[u/alexanderluko]

The world is moving towards darkness faster by the day. Thank you Americans for putting this narcissist idiot in power yet again.

[u/commit10 → u/alexanderluko]

And for allowing him to remain in power.

The pitiful lack of meaningful resistance from Americans is damning.

[u/StrangerExistingFact]

That just means putin will build them and they will be referred to as joint rus Us data centers so Zelesnky cant blast them. Thing is even at peace time it took russia 4 years to build one yandex data center. Agent Krasnov has 2 more years on his mandate and 3rd november when he loses midterms he loses power to introduce shitty deals like this

[u/tillybowman → u/StrangerExistingFact]

he ignored sanctions to russia set by the senate. why do you think midterms will change anything?

[u/neosatan_pl → u/tillybowman]

The house can defund executive branch projects. They can just not give him money to execute this. They can also introduce bills, that would for example, ban US companies from supplying IT services to Russia. If president would oppose, the impeachment and eventually treason charge.

[u/20past4am → u/StrangerExistingFact]

Don't be so sure about losing. Americans have proven that their society is nefarious, corrupt and rotten. They will gladly vote for another Trump now and in the future.

[u/FirefighterExtra7400 → u/StrangerExistingFact]

And circumventing sanctions...

[u/TheFrenchPerson]

Weren't people just joking like a day ago up to a few hours ago that after the whole starlink thing and buying Russian oil, they wouldn't be surprised if they started sharing data centers?

Alright, place your bets now then. What's up next? War against Ukraine?

[u/GovernmentBig2749 → u/TheFrenchPerson]

No, letting Russia nuke Ukraine to finish the war, and invading Norway to get that damn Nobel prize for peace!

[u/Mewhomewhy → u/TheFrenchPerson]

Yes. The frog is boiled. Every time something utterly ridiculous happens people joke “just wait” while the simps argue that’s never going to happen. Then that happens. Rinse and repeat as the US is rapidly becoming subservient to Russia.

And these things are only what we’re seeing. Imagine the things Russia is accessing in the background and has been accessing for years. Russia and China are about to take a massive leap ahead in classified tech.

[u/Ada_Pearce]

The checks and balances don't work

[u/borntobewildish → u/Ada_Pearce]

Oh they do. The checks clear and are doing wonders for Trumps bank balance.

[u/dandaman0000 → u/Ada_Pearce]

the cheques are working though

[u/dat_9600gt_user → u/Ada_Pearce]

Unpopular opinion: political parties should not be in charge of a lot of these checks.

[u/Judazzz → u/dat_9600gt_user]

That's the whole point of the separation of powers in a functional democracy, so that the three pillars of power (the trias politica: the legislative, adjudicative and executive branches) oversee each other and keep each other in check. None of that is currently present in the US in any meaningful way.

[u/Sigma_Function-1823]

US pays for Putin's compute which Putin then uses to further weaken the US.

Sounds equally as stupid as the US buying fuel from Russia , who are under domestic fuel restrictions due to Ukrainian action , and importing said fuel from Iran which they then resell to the US while being at war with Iran.

[u/MolassesOk3200]

Trump is definitely committing treason now. He must be removed from office.

[u/aro_plane]

They don't even bother pretending at this point. When will Americans wake up an kick out the Orange traitor? Or are they totally fine with USA being Russia's little bitch?

[u/Potential_Salt_5780 → u/aro_plane]

The Average American doesn’t give a fuck about anything as long as they have a job and they can buy shit that they don’t need.

[u/No-Cheek7925 → u/aro_plane]

They’d love to but you see they need to go to work and watch commercials with content-breaks on the telly.

It’s just so inconvenient. And the distances! Won’t someone think of the distances!!

[u/voyagerdoge]

They ARE a joint data center.

[u/Under_Milkwood_1969]

Trump isn’t even trying to hide his fealty to Putin anymore.
The Western democracies urgently need to exclude the US from any intelligence sharing for the foreseeable future.
🤷‍♂️

[u/isnV7]

bro what the fuck, the next US president is gonna have to work overtime to undo all of this

[u/Free-Way-9220 → u/isnV7]

The US will never be viewed the same way

[u/Efficient_Resist_287 → u/Free-Way-9220]

The world could have accepted 2016 as a warning, a message to the elites, however when American voters doubled it up and added Absolute Power to the menu, this is now a choice.

The world has to move on from the US in any way possible. America racial paranoia is what caused it to commit a superpower suicide.

[u/LojZza88 → u/Efficient_Resist_287]

I have to admit, the speed it took them to go from one of the most powerful and respected countries in the world to an absolute joke is quite impressive.

[u/fallsdarkness → u/isnV7]

I don't think one term would be enough to undo all the damage caused by this one (which isn't even halfway done yet)

[u/raknarokki → u/isnV7]

Unfortunately for the US, everyone understands the 2 party system and know that whatever deals would be made will be pulled back when the next republican president rolls around.

[u/Clayp2233]

Where is congress?

[u/Armadilla-Brufolosa → u/Clayp2233]

Sold with sales apparently.

[u/RymeEM → u/Clayp2233]

Controlled by the treasonous GOP

[u/Feeling_Zucchini_886]

It will take America decades to recover credibility with allies after this. I hope they do.

[u/Candid_Marketing_852 → u/Feeling_Zucchini_886]

If credibility is recovered, and that is a big if, it will take at least a generation. In Europe at least, all the goodwill the US has built since WW2 (helping to end the war, Marshall aid, contributing massively to international instututions etc.) is gone. 

I may be biased being Danish, but everyone I've spoken to agree.

[u/idiotrooper]

It’s clearly a common tool for propaganda.

Have a guess who they’ll use them against.

[u/lafarda]

Hey Americans! Fix your shit or you'll be the baddies.

[u/Bigking00]

It disgusts and amazes me that the US President is a Russian asset.

[u/Calm-Professional103]

The US has become a satellite state of Russia. 

[u/samuel10998]

LMAO, he knows what he is doing Ukraine strikes oil depots and refinaries, Russia then activates KGB Krasnov and then he pressures Ukraine not to strike oil refinaries, now Ukraine started hitting their data centers doing serious damage to the internet in Russia and he now annouces this shit.

Republicans are just slaves to russia at this point.

[u/Shawn_The_Sheep777]

I lived through the Cold War and the Reagan era. At that time you would never imagine that the US could be in this position. They’ve alienated all their historic allies,abandoned Europe and are following Russias lead. We need to diplomatically isolate them and close all their European bases.

[u/spaghettontraders]

americans still don t want to understand that trump is pootins asset

[u/One-Monkey-Army]

Russian bot farms are owned by Musk and he wants them protected from Ukrainian bombings…is that about right?

[u/LovesFrenchLove_More]

I wouldn't be surprised if Trump promised US troops to help Russia soon. Intelligence sharing, joined training sessions and what not.

[u/WhatDuq]

Russias datacentres were bombed - and suddenly they need to go into making datacentres with the US. If this doesn’t show who was pulling the strings on the US Puppet in Chief, I don’t know what will.

[u/SpaceAdventureCobraX]

Holy. Fucking. Shit. Absolute TRAITORS

[u/phantomzero]

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

TREASON!

[u/Creepy-Record1485]

I can honestly say I never hated someone as much as I hate Trump.

[u/Tiberinvs]

A very convoluted way to stop Zelensky from bombing the bot farms

[u/Twiroxi]

Rest of the world will remember this betrayal for decades to come. Good fucking luck building trust ever again

[u/MaxineRin]

Literally, just how much more obvious can it get?

[u/Longjumping-Ring740]

The Krasnov-Putler pact.

[u/Happy_Guitar3521]

Why the fuck USA is helping Russia against Ukraine?

[u/bakeacake45]

TREASON

[u/krzywaLagaMikolaja]

Lol, I'm re-watching The Americans and the russians there would have been so happy with this asset.

Fuck.

[u/hellranger788]

Russia is gonna plunder what they can before the door gets slammed into their face by the next administration

[u/EduardBon]

Trump, the Russian Agent

[u/kawag]

lol

They come out with a lot of bullshit, but this is actually one of the funniest things. There wouldn’t be a single machine in that data center that isn’t bugged and monitored to hell.

[u/Paatos → u/kawag]

The purpose is to hang a US flag on the centers to prevent strikes to protect the precious oligarch bot farms

[u/Affectionate_Smile85]

It seems trump needs his bot farms to run in overdrive, and have an american flag hanging to "try to" prevent attacks.

[u/75bytes]

wow as soon as ukraine started hitting datacenters, trump will protect them also?

[u/apegen]

Russia doesn't have the money for it and wants to use Krasnov to pay for them. However I'd be very surprised if any US company would be willing to take the risk of building billions of dollars of data centers in Russia. They are already stretching it thin as is, no way any serious player would contemplate such a move.

[u/MalmerDK]

In a funny twist of events MAGA will end up being commie traitors 🍿

[u/Top-Data9143]

r U s S i A is becoming a reality. Worried that the left are communists is a smoke screen to what is going on folks.

[u/OneGreatEgg]

Fucking hate this timeline and this illegitimate administration with a murderous fire. May he die in agony and his enablers be hanged.

[u/TrainingWheelsFail]

Yes. 2028 state of emergency. Federal government takes over control of elections from states. Trump stays on in power until he secures the process from being carried out democratically.

[u/Noselessmonk]

Soviet USA.

SUSA.

[u/B0H1C]

Of course. How else will dictators enslave and control their people?

[u/madmardo]

ummmm ok.... seems kinda traitor-ish.

[u/Peacer13]

Lmao.

Nobody would've guessed that Trump is a Russian asset. Nobody. /s

[u/drstruggleforlife]

Nice. Maybe they can start a joint troll farm. Do some nice propaganda together. Maybe start a joint Christian military police group that can suppress the unwanted critics and free press. I see a great future for US.

[u/HayStacky_337]

Desperation for Russian bot support during the midterm election, I guess.

[u/permanent_pixel]

Getting a divorce with Canada in order to be with Russia.

[u/farky84]

Wtf

[u/huff_and_russ]

r/nottheonion

[u/KaonWarden]

Stop. Believing. What they say.
Is it possible that Trump would agree to this? Yes. Is it possible that this would actually happen in any practical way? Probably not.
Russia is currently playing a shell game to hide the holes in their economy. What they need the most is to create the impression that things are inevitably going their way, that if they can keep the game up just a little bit longer they can come out whole. Don’t play into that.

[u/MindOk8618]

US is officially done. Nothing but a joke.

[u/Bizzyzed]

Scum

[u/LookAlderaanPlaces]

What a great way to make it easier to commit treason and cyber espionage…

[u/heli0s_7]

No bottom to our disgrace.

Oh US companies are going to share data sevices with a country that has the most hackers attacking the US every day?

News Writer

Russia and the US are negotiating joint initiatives focused on data center infrastructure, according to statements made by Kirill Dmitriev, a special envoy for Russian leader Vladimir Putin, on October 16.

Speaking at the Russian Energy Week (REW 2026) forum in Moscow, Dmitriev claimed that both nations are preparing to announce key joint programs in the near future, as reported by Interfax.

We bring you stories from the ground. Your support keeps our team in the field.

Dmitriev noted that the scope of discussions between the two countries covers a broad portfolio of initiatives. He suggested that initial progress is being made despite significant opposition to the talks.

"Understandably, everything is progressing with considerable difficulty, and there is resistance—including heavy pushback from various sides. However, as the diesel example demonstrates, I believe we will announce several other major initiatives in the near future," he said.

According to the Kremlin envoy, a concrete list of projects has already been framed, with several Russian companies actively participating in the preliminary stages.

Among the proposals being explored is the potential use of capacity from Russian nuclear power plants to support these data infrastructure initiatives.

Previously, US President Donald Trump announced that he had held a discussion with Russian leader Vladimir Putin, during which the two agreed on significant Russian diesel fuel shipments to American and global markets.

Under the arrangement, Russia was set to deliver over 300,000 tons of diesel immediately, followed by an additional 500,000 tons in November and 1 million tons shortly after, with plans to eventually supply 3 million tons as refinery conditions permitted.

Trump emphasized that these energy shipments, combined with full control over the Strait of Hormuz, would rapidly drive diesel prices down to record lows worldwide.

Following Ukraine’s strikes on three major Yandex data centers between October 8 and 9, internet infrastructure and digital services across Russia experienced severe disruption.

The attacks targeted key facilities in the Ryazan, Kaluga, and Vladimir regions, damaging high-performance supercomputers and knocking critical platforms—including Yandex Cloud, Yandex Pay, navigation apps, and search services—offline.

Beyond disrupting domestic commerce and state-aligned communications, the strikes led to a marked drop in automated web traffic and pro-Russian bot activity, significantly curtailing high-profile disinformation campaigns on international social media networks.

So sharing data infrastructure; how’s that not a massive nation security risk?

[u/ShezSteel]

Republicans need to protect their base.

[u/Severe_Size5055]

Vichy America back at it again

[u/BlueDotty]

This timeline is ridiculous

[u/Brent_L]

Assuming there is another US president. I’m not confident in these next two elections.

[u/FunOwn4422]

November is going to be lit. i really hope we get the blue wave and we can start launching investigations. I mean what the fuck.

[u/Any_Worry_2471]

So if it's a joint DC any attack on a DC can be considered as an attack on US property. However, didn't the Russians attack US companies in UA in the past? Well, it's probably all an attempt to cause any more confusion.

[u/Recent_Process_8055]

Yes lets support the dead internet theorie even more. Damn bots

[u/ZeraDoesStuff]

Sounds like they are currently making sure their Russian Bots will continue to run even if all Russian Data Centers are no more

[u/livadeth]

Putin is pushing the envelope…

[u/Friar16]

Those bots got to live somewhere

[u/Ojos1842]

Orange criminal enterprise, meet Red criminal enterprise.

[u/Frydendahl]

Trump needs all the Russian election interference he can get for the midterms.

[u/WeakDoughnut8480]

I'm so confused 

[u/SawdustShoptalk]

The enemy in here.

[u/Tfeal]

So Russia will have all the data collected by the American Corporations ? Sounds marvellous.

[u/Weewoofiatruck]

If you think this is bad, also look up the TAE (nuclear fusion power plant company) and TMTG (trump media and technology group) proposed merger.

Trump's truth social company is buying a company who helps design nuclear fusion power plants to power AI data centers.

Chevron is going to get so much money out of the acquisition.

TAE/TMTG merger. Look it up, keep your eyes on this.

Pray we can get a blue wave next month, control the oversight committees and stop all of this. We're trying folks.

[u/DazzlingRhubarb2000]

Right wing hate farms

[u/PepperNormal]

Russians really have the USA by their balls

[u/Effective_Basis1555]

This is how bad they both rely on bots, propaganda and misinformation!

[u/CoCoPieCoGT]

wtf america No!

[u/foxontheroof]

Lately with the speed of the development of those headlines it will make me not shocked when I see "US To Strenghten Kyiv Bombardments In Joint Effort With Russia To Decrease Gas Prices"

[u/tatornutz]

Treason, treason ... Again with the treason !!!

[u/RoboJobot]

Now Putin will be able to get all your US data directly rather than need to ask Trump and/or Musk to forward it to him

[u/EgovidGlitch]

So... they'll be sharing data? This is fucked. Impeach that moron, quick.
