    I’m sure Germany, France, or the UK would love to get the mineral rights that Trump is after.

    I really want this to blow up in Trump’s face. Rude strongarm tactics is a real bad look.

      I sure as hell hope we don’t make our support contingent on securing mineral rights from Ukraine while they’re over a barrel.

        Of course he has. That was the whole point. When he didn’t fall in line with the plan, Trump and Vance threw a tantrum. Zelenaky will not just accept peace at any price, he’s acting in the best interests of his country and I do not blame the man for it.

          And to clarify, the deal wasn’t even a peace deal. It was a “ceasefire now, then when Russia recuperates and starts again, we’ll have 0 contingencies. See, what if a bomb dropped on your head right now? We can’t predict the future!”
