thesetat Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago Zelenski gives in and signs the minerals deal with Trump. This will impact the war in Ukraine because now America will begin to supply weapons and aid to the war effort. https://kyivindependent.com/breaking-ukraine-us-sign-minerals-deal/ I guess now Trump will have to deal more with Russia as well to end the war so America can reap the benefits from the minerals deal. Either that or commit more resources to Ukraine. 3 1 4

Rest of Europe currently not able to meet the needs which as ever are urgent. Yes Ukraine needs to try to stay in an OK place with US diplomatically until it's no longer possible. But sadly there is nothing in this deal promising any new military aid to Ukraine. Trump has refused to even sell for cash much need Patriot missile defense systems! Disgusting. 3 2 4 1
Popular Post Jingthing Posted 5 hours ago Popular Post Posted 5 hours ago The only good news I suppose is that Trump can sell this as a big win for him. Without that any hope of continued U.S. -- Ukraine good relations would be finished. In Trump's perverted view of the world, there are no mutually beneficial agreements, there needs to be a winner and a loser. 2 1 1 1 2

Biden really sold us out That's a lie. Military aid was GRANTED. It's Trump who later made up a fiction that it's OK to demand payback. It doesn't work that way. If something is a loan or a purchase, you start as a loan or a purchase. 4 1 2 1

Jingthing Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago By Trump refusing to even sell for cash defensive systems, in essence blood is on Trump's hands basically for every Ukrainian civilian murdered by Putin now. Not that Trump cares about such things. 2 1 1 3
Popular Post Jingthing Posted 5 hours ago Popular Post Posted 5 hours ago 4 minutes ago, hotsun said: Aka Biden the sellout gave out our money for nothing. Zelinsky is agreeing to this deal because it would look really bad if he didnt Wrong. Biden did what was normal to help Ukraine defend itself against an aggressor. Before sleaze ball Trump 2.0 came to power military aid to allies was based on foreign policy, not sucking profits out of allied nations fighting for their very survival. Also of course the vast majority of aid was spent in the USA to military industries, helping the U.S. economy anyway. Based on what I read about this actual agreement, as it was finally acceptable to Ukraine after many revisions, yes he did have to sign it again if he wants there to be any hope of future cooperation of any kind with Trump. Of course Europe isn't ready to fully take the place of the U.S. so Zelinsky needs to at least try to keep hope alive for further U.S. aid. That would include selling him the defense Patriots which Europe doesn't even have an equivalent to sell. 1 3 3 3

bkk6060 Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago If all true, Trump is PO at Russia it seems. I can see him sending much more powerful weapons to Ukraine. If nothing else many more Russians will die and hopefully, their war machine will be at least temporarily slowed down. 1

"slow clap" Now tell me why they cannot defend themselves, nor even lay a smack down on Russia? They have ten TIMES the GDP of Russia and far more industrial capacity. So why are they so niggardly in supporting a fellow European neighbour? 1 2
