The author is clearly not familiar with US business practices.
“US’s involvement would leave no room for corruption and insider deals”
Quite the Pollyanna, he is.
“US’s involvement would leave no room for corruption and insider deals”
That’s the only thing Ukrainians are skilled in.
How? I can see the benefits to whatever companies are involved but how does this benefit the taxpayer?
There is no upside to us having a joint business partnership with Ukraine. They are just too corrupt. Hell, doing business with China is probably safer.
And DC is FAR too addicted to Uke kickbacks.
“This economic partnership would lay the foundations for a durable peace by sending a clear signal to the American people, the people of Ukraine, and the government of Russia about the importance of Ukraine’s future sovereignty and success to the US.”
What is the clear signal to the American people? That neonazi Kiev will always be in a financial business relationship with DC?
Let the kickbacks flow!
Not to mention, after all DC’s high minded talk about “democracy” greedy Russia exploiting Ukraine, we push for a deal like this, at their moment of maximum vulnerability. Reminds me of ancient Roman fire departments. They would show up at a blaze, and negotiate to but the property. If the owner made a deal, they would put it out.
Not a good look.
“The US is a durable and long-term partner in this relationship. The proceeds from future revenue streams would be reinvested back into key sectors focused on unlocking more of Ukraine’s growth assets.” How about America’s growth assets?
Brit spelling of "defense"?
Well, more seriously, what qualifies as "defense"? If I'm Japan, helping out big time with power plant repairs (just one example), I'm gonna be pretty pissed. We can't hack off everybody...
