Donald Trump has insisted that Vladimir Putin would “keep his word” on a peace deal for Ukraine, arguing that US workers extracting critical minerals in the country would act as a security backstop to deter Russia from invading again.
During highly anticipated talks at the White House with the prime minister, Keir Starmer, the US president said that Putin could be trusted not to breach any agreement, which could aim to return as much of the land as possible to Ukraine that was seized by Russia during the brutal three-year conflict.
But, sitting alongside Starmer in the Oval Office taking questions from journalists, Trump refused to commit to deploying US forces to support a European-led peacekeeping force, although he said the US would “always” help the British military in the unlikely event it needed it.
Guy notorious for lying consistently is sure to keep his word this time!
Fucking idiots.
Lmao how can so many people continue to defend how Russophilic he is?
Asset Krasnov says his boss is good…
Just the fact that the US is basically stealing Ukraines lunch money to make a bully stop attacking them makes the US a bully.
But what is the other bully Russia getting out of this deal?
Time to fix their economy and rebuild their military
Lol, even assuming that things work as planned and we do end up stealing the wealth of another nation…does anyone really think it’s going to be Americans physically extracting the resources?
How much is it going to cost to send skilled workers to a war zone that’s been shelled and mined to all hell for the last 3 years? And if we do end up spending out the nose to pay Americans, how the hell is that going to be profitable? Corporations will barely pay a livable wage to Americans working in America.
Like he kept his word after 2014? Or 1991(OK, technically not him back then, but the state he leads)?
If Trump puts his signature on it that USA will pay Ukraine 500 billion in case of Russia breaking their word, sure.
It would have to go into escrow nobody would trust him to cough up.
“One of us never tells the truth, and one of us always lies.”
Who cares what Trump “says”. He doesn’t remember and changes tack day to day. Zero credibility.
Trump: Zelensky is a Dictator
Trump next day: Did I say that?
bull.
fucking.
shit.
Two of the most honest people in the world with an agreement. Things will go as expected.
I wonder which word Trump will hold.
I would not put it past him to arrest Zelenskyy the moment he lands, announce an immediate state visit to Moskow, and hand over Zelenskyy to Putin as a present.
Lol, Lmao even. Budapest Memorandum.
Mad Ukraine never leveraged it
My understanding is there is not much to be leveraged. There were no guarantees, just “pinky promise we will respect your borders”
That means there’s exactly a zero percent chance of that happening. Hell it might even be a negative percent just because it’s through Trump.
Our president is so truthful and full of smartness that I tend to agree. Putin is very trustworthy as well. Two of the best truth-tellers in the world today. Two regular people worthy of all the respect that exists in the world. Not just respect. TRUST!
EDIT: Sorry, I’m so fucked up I didn’t realize I posted to the same thing twice(until now). I didn’t say exactly the same thing twice but it’s pretty close
