I am assuming that you are American - if not, I apologise. 

 

Your president has spent the past month trash talking the victim of Putin's aggression whilst not making one negative word about Putin. Last week he made clear that if Putin attacked Estonia or Lithuania, both NATO countries, he would not permit NATO to defend them. He has, effectively, ruled NATO to be nothing more than a fig leaf. Putin has already wreaked havoc across Europe with his terrorism and indiscriminate murders; he is meddling in democratic elections across my continent. And you have the gall to tell Europeans to wake up? 

He doesn't run NATO.

Typical school child tantrums blaming everything on someone else when they cannot admit wrong. The current clown-show in the WH seem to excel at it, Trump telling Zelensky that Biden was the worst President ever etc and crying about Hunter as an economic deal goes wrong. This is all they are good at, tantrum politics.

NATO is a consensus based alliance.

Had 47 made a deal with Ukraine and put "boots on the ground" all of you fools would be cheering him on, bunch of braindead chicken.

When did Zelensky ask for boots on the ground?

 

Braindead are any people who think a treaty of any kind signed with Putin is worth the paper it is written on.

 

Trump is a Russian asset. The rest of the world had better reset any alliances or intelligence sharing with America on that basis.

Trump the Russian asset gave weapons to their enemy Ukraine.  Strange move.

[Harrisfan]

The Trump administration plans to sell 210 Javelin anti-tank missiles to Ukraine, providing the government with a powerful new weapon to use against Russian-backed separatists. The proposed sale announced on March 1, which includes 37 launch units, is valued at $47 million

 

Strange move from a Russian shill 555

And?  Ukraine is hiring cannon fodder for Z-boy.  The Mafia controlled Government and their families are safe in Keiv...but you are free to go die for them.

 

I love our President for being wise enough to know that this war will go on and will cost us 400 billion dollars...and still no movement on either side.

 

So, please go sign up  and fight for the Ukranian Mafia!

Who knows what tasks their conscripts 

would be willing to to perform.

The point is to force Zelenskyy to negotiate a deal for rare minerals

Why should he be "forced" to do any negotiations for his Country's natural resources?

Just Trump steamrollering as usual but getting it ALL wrong.

He'd clearly rather just take the cold hard cash. 

 

A bit like when I gave my sister-in-law a car to take her kids to school and she said "Can't you just sell it and give me the money?" 😄

Before this war, I’d bet that the opinion of Ukraine (amongst posters here) was that it is just some corrupt backwater with mail order brides.

 

Probably not much different than Russia….only poorer.

 

And now we care soooo much about them that random strangers will argue back and forth online……for years.

 

The reason being that many people do not like the idea of a "Superpower" illegally snatching another countries land! And that also means Americans stealing the land of the indigenous peoples, and the British Empire doing the same, (but they are trying to make amends for some of the wrongs - I don't see America doing much for the Indian tribes)

I hope you were this outraged when Biden's army fled Afghanistan like scared schoolgirls leaving mayhem, death and destruction? Why do I get the feeling you are only outraged when it comes to the orange fella?

The US's big mistake was fomenting the 2014 coup and destabilization of the country, compounded by corrupt politicians like Biden essentially running the country for profit. Now it's suddenly all Trump's fault? Jog on.

You post crap without any factual evidence.. That was trumps withdrawl plan not Biden.  Biden actually extended it because Trump f'd it up by not discussing the withdrawl with Afghanistan govt and only taliban. Get your facts straight

He pays back the US taxpayer whose money Biden GAVE to him by agreeing to the natural resources deal Trump's put on the table which will involve US military security along with the EU into the future and will lead to a ceasefire and peace deal. This will happen. 

[Walker88]

Aiding and abetting dictators, aggressors and those who commit crimes against humanity. Why not add terrorists, too.

 

 

Immorality is now an American Ideal, as is cowardice.

 

Let's cut off aid to Israel, too, and bring Netanyahu to the peace table.

Clueless.

 

The mineral resources are not only not particularly economic, but they are primarily in areas Russia now controls.

 

So the good and brave people of Ukraine get what?  Nada. ZIp. Ziffer.

 

The POTUS's paymaster gets what he demands of his quisling.

Yep. Zelenskyy will pay back some of the money. The EU loaned him money. Biden gave him money. Trump wants some of it back.

The US is a war machine (military industrial complex).  Who are you to talk about antiwar anything?

[Galong]

Reality check: A large portion of U.S. aid to Ukraine benefits the American economy, particularly the defense industry. The money isn’t sent as cash but is used to replenish U.S. military stockpiles after weapons are sent to Ukraine. This funds major defense contractors like Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and Boeing, creating jobs and boosting production in states like Texas, Alabama, and Pennsylvania. It also modernizes the U.S. military without extra taxpayer costs. Additionally, supporting Ukraine weakens Russia and stabilizes global markets, indirectly benefiting U.S. economic interests. Much of the aid is a stimulus for American defense jobs and industry.
