If none of these things happen before May, this market will resolve to Yes. If any of these things happen before May, this market will resolve to no. Copied from the Polymarket and should resolve the same in >99% of circumstances.

-Russia and Ukraine agree to a ceasefire (announcement suffices)
-Yoon Suk Yeol is reinstated as President of South Korea
-Pete Hegseth resigns or otherwise ceases to be Secretary of Defense
-Erdoğan resigns or otherwise ceases to be President of Turkey
-Israel and Hamas agree to a ceasefire deal (announcement suffices)

For the sake of this market, a ceasefire must pertain to all theaters of fighting between the two parties.

I feel like p(Hegseth leaves before May) is at least 20%, so this market seems very underpriced.

@AnonymousFlounder you mean overpriced?

@MachiNi I meant that "no" is underpriced, so yes is overpriced, yup

I had the AI find the declarative name of this market: Pete Hegseth resigns or otherwise ceases to be Secretary of Defense

bought Ṁ1,000 YES

Nothing ever happens.

bought Ṁ25 NO

I think pope Francis dying counts as a happening

@Sebastianus That's not one of the five possible events listed for this market though.

filled a Ṁ10 NO at 79% order

@TimothyJohnson5c16 this for me casts the market's validity into question ; I'd NA it

@GazDownright I thought it was pretty clear from the description what counts.

bought Ṁ100 NO

hesgeth has a high chance of getting tpopled by this time:

bought Ṁ3,250 YES

@CrypticQccZ Nothing ever happens

@CrypticQccZ Accountability in this administration ESPECIALLY never happens

@Mana I think Hegseth will be fired/forced to resign once it's clear to Trump that he's a political liability. I don't think it will happen by the end of the month though.

As I expected, Trump is still publicly standing behind Hegseth: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/hegseth-trump-same-page-after-2nd-signal-chat/story?id=121010785

For the first time, a Republican says Hegseth should be fired:

Was this the month I should have moved to Polymarket?

bought Ṁ100 YES
bought Ṁ10 NO

Russia and Ukraine have agreed to a naval ceasefire in the Black Sea in separate deals with the US, after three days of peace talks in Saudi Arabia.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y2nvezdnwo

Informal agreements and humanitarian pauses not sufficient, but rules seem unclear about a wide area agreement like Black Sea as opposed to a complete ceasefire.

@ChristopherRandles it's not a wide agreement. Ukraine doesn't even have a navy. It's the tiniest conceivable military agreement that is nothing more than an a sign of goodwill from Ukraine towards Russia.

yeah, description requires that it pertains to all theaters of conflict, so must apply to sea, air, frontline, energy, everything.
