Ukraine Rejects U.S. Demand for Half of Its Mineral Resources
-
Good. Trump is a ventriloquist dummy for Putin. Even if he wasn't, demanding a kid for half his lunch money to save him from a bully just makes you another bully.
-
Lol. The US is a fucking failed state that couldn't even defeat Vietnamese, Afghan, or Iraqi peasants at the peak of their empire, with trillions of dollars in capital... Literally 1000x more capital than their enemy.
Every country needs to grow balls, forge alliances, and tell the US to collectively get fucked. They're swinging their dick around like they hold the cards, when they're grossly incompetent, and without the rest of the world playing ball the US is fucking dead in the water. All of their wealth is worthless without the global supply chain. They will collapse in months without us.
Even if Ukraine's gov fell, it's likely Russia would be locked in a guerrilla warfare quagmire (like Afghanistan in the 80's). If the USSR couldn't defeat a bunch of peasants, why would a state with 1/10th the power be able to defeat Ukraine?

And this is exactly why the fuck Trump is chasing Canada as well.

Don’t know about the other countries,but Afghanistan is a bit special. Many invaders have tried, and failed. I guess the mountainous terrain doesn’t make it any easier. Seems to me that nobody is capable of conquering Afghanistan. When you hear about another empire trying their luck, you know it’s going to drain their power.

Putin Junior learning from daddy

we've decided that you lose, and have negotiated your future with your bully who is also having sex with your mother and i

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?
