Ukraine Rejects U.S. Demand for Half of Its Mineral Resources
-
Offer the US all the Ukrainian land that's currently occupied by Russia. Then hope the US shifts back to democrat control in the next few elections.
-
Good. Fuck em (us) the USA shouldn't shake down Ukraine for minerals with the empty promise of security.
Ukraine should join NATO and they all should rally to support Ukraine. USA isnt dependable currently. And should be treated as hostile.
Take it from me.. an american, the US government is absolutely hostile towards folks.
-
Vietnam has historically been pretty brutal for invaders too. Between the end of the third Chinese domination and the start of the French colonial period, they went almost a thousand years rarely ever losing a war. They even fended the Mongols off
-
Good. Crazy that people were cheering on this straight up extortion. Europe and America promised support to win the war. Now that Ukraine is deep in the sunk cost fallacy they start extorting them.

NATO isnt an option anymore. Trump being president means the US will reject their NATO application.
-
Meh as long as it's not in a treaty they can start the process and wait for trump to hit the burger king in the ground
-
Good on you, Zelensky. Do not cave.
-
Unless, of course, the US exits NATO. At this point, everybody would be better of without them.
-
I believe that the us passed a law saying that a president can't remove the USA from NATO... But gestures broadly we can see how much rule of law matters to a R government trifecta.
Idk.. either way... Ukraine needs support and if they don't get it.. the Russians will be at doorsteps to the major European countries. IMHO.
-
The offer might have gone over slightly better if the US Secretary of Defense hadn't already ruled out NATO membership and a return to Ukraine's 2014 borders.
-
Yeah - the US was just unlucky. They lost these ones + the korean war. But anywhere else they would win. Maybe except in Russia. Or china. Or a few others. But except for that they would win
-
Sorry Ukraine, that we elected a small handed baby, who is a terrible leader. Hopefully, things work out for you.
Sincerely, U.S.A. -
I think that, if Trump hadn't decided to just sow chaos for the last three weeks, all of these deals he's trying to make might actually end up with more favorable outcomes.
How is anyone supposed to trust the US in good faith when they're watching us destroy ourselves on purpose?
-
What good is being saved from being enslaved by one dictator only to be enslaved by your "saviour" instead?
-
Well... the US could have won any of those wars, but only by completely wiping them off the map. And even the worst of the presidents wouldn't have done that (the current one TBD).
-
I would have just pulled a Trump and agreed then reneged afterwards.
-
Let me guess, it was the jungle. I recall from history class, that China is protected by a massive jungle on one side, which has kept potential invaders from trying that direction. Maybe the same is true for Vietnam as well.
-
The US was lucky that Afghanistan didn’t drain all of their money and power. It was already a total disaster, but it could have been even worse.
-
It's a bold strategy, Cotton.
