I heard that Z had two other opportunities to sign the deal.

Its a great plan and should be easy for the press to follow and understand, unless they just don’t want to report the facts (haha joke)

I think Trump has a check-mate yet again! MAGA!

>>>”Russia is not an enemy. It could even become a partner.”<<<

A rapprochement between the US and Russia would solve a lot of problems and save a lot of money (and save the Europeans .oney, too). It would take away NATO’s raison d’etre, though, and NATO is the neocons’ favorite power tool, not to mention a cash cow for politicians on both sides of the aisle.

>>>”China could be a future enemy, if the US continues to cede tech and manufacturing leadership to them. Let’s prevent that.”<<<

China is already our peer competitor, but we need not make China into an enemy. The savings from the above could go toward our infrastructure and R&D to boost our standing in the tech and manufacturing sectors. Imagine where we’d be if we’d invested all those trillions we wasted on stupid wars in R&D and infrastructure instead. China would still be a powerhouse and competitor, but we’d be eating some Chinese lunch. Better late than never, right?

>>>”The REAL enemy is Brussels-London/WEF/Globohomo socialism. They are a clear and present danger. They are active in US Government, finance, media and academia. They meddle in our elections. They are allied with US Democrats, leftists, neocons, and the bloated US deep-state.”<<<

Yes, these are the most dangerous enemies of all. Not an easy task to root them out! It looks like Trump and Musk are making amazing headway, but there are lots of snakes coiled to strike.

Good, thoughtful posr. Thanks!

I favor a deal with Russia & then a deal with Ukraine. Economic partnerships to align the region with peaceful cooperation in everyone’s interest.

Meanwhile Russian troops have snuck behind the Ukraine positions in Kursk in the northeast and are taking those down, Kursk has become a death trap, and the only way out is under fire toward the SW. Surrender or death seem to be the only alternatives for the trapped Ukrainian troops.

If it is 4D chess, he allowed Sen Murphy and the Obama cabal to out themselves and commit treason by telling the sawed off runt to turn down the deal.

And BTW it is not clear that these minerals actually exist in Ukraine in the quantities speculated or that much of the deposits are not in locations controlled by Russia.

I believe it is fairly clear that all commercially significant mineral wealth in the Ukraine is in the Eastern provinces, now controlled by Russia.

The "mining deal" is a feint.

I’m beginning to believe the depths of corruption around all this is further than we can possibly imagine. We have no idea where all this money is going, where weapons are ending up.

You don’t have to like Putin to also dislike this grifter. He cannot ‘win’ this - but insists on war, taking endless resources from the West. It’s not just that he cancels elections. He’s imprisoned opponents, banned orthodox Church, exiled their members. This is not a ‘good’ man. His ‘comedy’ included playing the piano with his d*ck.

Right now Trump is letting Z work his way through denial. I don’t think it will take that long. We have suspended all shipments to the Ukraine. No money, no armaments.

Ironically it's the same color as those EuroNet ATM machines that are the biggest ripoffs.

That's why I told my Son when he travelled to Europe, that if you see an ATM machine with the colors of the Ukraine flag, don't use it!

I feebly attempt to think what Trump may be thinking.

I think he may be amused.

The little con man immediately scurrying to the Euroweenies for a hug does NOTHING to change Trump’s conviction to kick the ungrateful beggar out of the White House without his Happy Meal.

Trump has walked away from as many deals as he has made.

He told the con man he had no cards.

Trump knows he has NO MORE cards today than when he was frog marched out of the White House.

“Security guarantees” is a trap and Trump is not taking that bait.

The little fella’s tantrum has reordered the plan.

Cease fire first.

Mineral deal with the Ukraine next.

Trump negotiates with Putin without the con man.

Whatever “security guarantees” there are will be baked into that cake.

I think bridges have been burnt.

The Euroweenies do not understand that Trump means what he says and he has the majority of the popular vote that put in office back him up.

The shadow gubmint backed up by Elite Stream Media no longer call the turn.

During his sit-down with Zelensky, I was appalled Bret Baier did not stress this de facto security guarantee with the little man.

He never even mentioned it.

With all the crap surfacing in Europe, some of which is negative, we should threaten to tell Putin, “Vlad it’s all yours, we’re finished.” (and see worldwide reaction).

Rumor has it that Ukraine is not all that mineral-rich.

The war turned Zelensky into an international rockstar. He thinks he’s Bono, and the minute peace breaks out he goes back to being plain old Volya, mediocre comedian ex-rockstar. Naturally he doesn’t want his sweet ride to end.
