I really don’t care. How about we give that colossal prick a statue instead of a Lenin one if he helps Ukraine (unlikely).

Sure why not. As long as this motivates the orange ape to actually drive pootin out the US should get its share.

On a similar note – I am rather expecting Trump to announce that the US will stay in NATO in exchange for Greenland.

Fine but up the game more long range weapons. More everything

Sure if Russia gives up the territory freely 👀

DO NOT trust anything Trump says or proposes. The man is an untrustworthy liar. He will renege on his part of the deal while holding Ukraine hostage to it.
In any case the US is moving fast to a civil war.

File impeachment papers now. Even if it gets blocked.

Sell him the minerals in exchange for arms. Do a deal.

In exchange for driving Russia, back to the 1991 borders by Christmas, Ukraine becoming a full NATO member, and a US carrier group being assigned to the Black Sea with headquarters in Sevastopol…..
Sure seems like Ukraine would want to barter with resources to make all of that happen, condition on the US having no claim to ANY Ukrainian resourcesall until all three of those things are completed

Fuck me, that’s nearly as bad as what Putler is doing, tell Trump to fuck off

That’s ok, make the deal. But there will be a new government at some point in thd future in Ukraine and exactly the same way US does not honor past deals, why should they?
No-Top-6313 on
So now that he’s imposed a tarif on Canada’s minerals he’s moving in on Ukraine to have them at a discount. Ok got it

I don’t like Trump, but this may actually be a good thing. Hear me out.
Early in WW2 Churchill needed ~50 retired battleships from the US, but the antiwar sentiment in the US was so strong that Roosevelt didn’t feel comfortable sending them (election year and 95% of the pop was isolationist).
Ultimately they agreed on a deal where in exchange for the ships the US would gain access to some islands. It was important that Roosevelt come out looking like the shrewd deal maker who won the exchange. And that’s exactly how they framed it to the public.
To me, this looks like Trump possibly laying the framework to support Ukraine long term without looking like he reversed course on campaign promises for no reason. He needs to look like the shrewd deal maker who is getting more out of the deal than Ukraine. He needs his base to get on board without looking foolish.

Trump is a sleaze bag and I don’t trust him to implement this equitably, but I actually really like this as a concept (if implemented properly). It could be like a lend lease, but instead of cash that Ukraine doesn’t have, it’s minerals. Even better is if the US helps Ukraine develop the infrastructure to extract/transport/etc these minerals, with a cut obviously staying with Ukraine. It could be beneficial to both the US and Ukraine, both now and in the future.
Being a major mineral supplier to the western world is also a good way to better your chances of things like NATO and EU membership.

I agree with you, but if Ukraine can earn money instead of using their cash for weapons or worse, be in debt to Trump?

I am a critic of Trump, but depending on specifics and scope of the deal, this may not be unreasonable. There is a large portion of America pissed that they are struggling while our money is sent overseas, and this could be a way to save face with them and do what is right.

Why are you upset that we should use our money and lifes, to save others for free? We did it for over 100 years. Why?

I don’t see a problem here. Ruzzia is selling its natural resources to fund the invasion. Why can’t Ukraine do the same to fight against invasion?
but they dont want dig their own backyard, so they want to dig others.

$14 trillion worth of natural resources in the occupied territories. This is the root cause of the war, nothing else. Nothing left to steal in ruSSia, so the Orcs invaded UA

As an American that’s been to Ukraine multiple times and helped with the evacuations, I’m sorry. I’m embarrassed of my country and our leadership.
