Well definitely an EU army I believe. I am not sure what way NATO would be if America left it.
sorry double post, stupid flaky wifi
I wouldn't be lying awake at night worrying about Trump 'taking Canada' tbh…
He's not right. Trump could only end the war in Ukraine by nuking it - if the military people were stupid enough to obey those orders, which I would hope they wouldn't. Zelensky is not obligated to agree to stupid one sided 'peace' terms, and he won't - as we have already seen by the ridiculous distraction of this minerals nonsense.
Trump's realistic power lies in cutting Ukraine off from US weapons if they don't agree to his stupid deal, but as we are already seeing in Europe, there is a very good chance a good deal of the negative impact of that may be negated by Europe increasing their level of assistance. 85% of Ukraine's effect on the Orcs is via drones, only a small percentage of which are of US origin.
We need to join NATO asap.
We are sitting ducks.
I fear he might be right. I think the rewriting of the world is taking shape at this moment and in the next few years.
Not surprising: Ukraine getting shafted in the agreement
Surprising: The first paragraph uses the phrase " Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022"
Don't know what's in the five missing clauses
Summary of the deal apparently:
None. Our gas comes from the UK, and a dwindling amount from north-west Mayo.
Looks like Ukrainians recaptured half of Toretsk in last couple of days
yet again they show they can move in days distances that take Russians months
Let's face it, the rest of the world would cheer if Ukraine were to sign anything that makes sure they can get everything they can need from America to assist in reclaiming their land and, once Russia has collapsed, then turned around and said "we'll be adhering to this agreement in the same spirit that America adhered to the Budapest Amendment: i.e. you'll get what we want to give you, on terms that suit us, Trump can do the same as the Russian warships and go **** himself.
If there is a new administration (big if), then its very unlikely they row back as any American company that goes in there will have sway in washington. To be honest, any company that goes in deserves to be bankrupted as much as Tesla.
The US will never be trusted again.
Trump has done massive damage to the country.
They are finished as any sort of global superpower.
Canada is tooling up to supply us. Yanks will be out of the loop soon enough
Is this the "$350bn" they've already received or another "$350bn"
”United States intends to work with Ukraine to protect mutual interests”
LOL
Zelensky proceeds to declare a 10 mile strip of land next to orcs an area of “mutual interest” needing protection by US
I'd say thats the agreement Zelenskey refused to sign
Not making any claims as to the veracity of this, just posting on the off chance it's genuine:
As far as I can see it doesn't mention any amounts or quantities, locks the Orcs out. The real meat seems to be in a fund agreement which has yet to be created. Seems this might just be something Krasnov can wave in the air for posturing claiming he's a smart deal maker.
It’s mostly old people left
That’s Russian Mir for ya
There is a reason Ukrainians are fighting so hard, those “Russian speakers” sympathetic to Russian propaganda have found themselves in hell or worse
Essentially…
Trump to Zelensky - "Mighty nice mining opportunities there, shame if anything happened to them."
Any hope future US regimes (I think that word certainly applies to Trump's government) will be so embarrassed they reverse some of the shakedown. The US reputation with Western countries/"Allies" must be taking a hammering.
Full info is difficult, but what has come out paints a brutal scene:
Their language, national identity, culture - basically anything Ukrainian is repressed. They can be and are targeted for any pro-Ukrainian views. They are pretty much forced to take Russian passports (e.g. elderly people denied critical medication unless they get a Ru passport, etc)
Education system, media - everything has been replaced by Russian state controlled material. Their kids are being re-educated and forced to speak Russian.
Reports of imprisonment, deportations, disappearances. Locals have been conscripted to fight against Ukraine. Also checkpoints everywhere, high monitoring and surveillance
They are a subjugated occupied class now, forced to reject any Ukrainian culture they once had and effectively become Russian - but not even Russian, a sub class that is subject to arbitrary imprisonment, mistreatment, disappearances, torture.
All Ukrainians knew this as Russia invaded - it's why they have fought so hard.
Of course the silence from the "I just want peace in Ukraine" Putin apologist types about this was deafening. They live in a fantasy universe where Ukraine had some magic option of "peace" or "timeout" from the outset, instead of the reality that Ukraine only two choices, fight or be occupied. Fight standing up, or die under occupation like Bucha. They chose the former.
Would be interesting to know what life is like for the locals in Russian held land now, there hasn't been much information coming out.
That Russian backed stooge presidential candidate who came out of nowhere in Romania with just a Tiktok campaign - yeah he's been arrested already and there's some shady **** going on

Original news: The announcement comes as 47 searches are being carried out today at Călin Georgescu's close associates, including Horațiu Potra, the head of the mercenaries, Georgescu's bodyguard and a new character who appears in the investigation , the partner of Georgescu's bodyguard, who allegedly has close ties to the top of the power circles in Moscow. In several images from the investigation, she appears alongside Circassian mercenaries and has posts that show her closeness to the Russians. And Horațiu Potra appears in images in Moscow's Red Square, where he was allegedly in September, sources from the investigation say. Among the accusations brought against them are: forming a fascist group, but also making false statements regarding the financing of the electoral campaign.
Prosecutors found weapons, assault ammunition and large sums of money during the searches. At Potra's home, in a safe hidden in the floor, investigators found 900,000 euros. The searches target suspicions of actions against the constitutional order, public incitement, initiation of a fascist organization, and false statements regarding the sources of financing for the electoral campaign.
Looking like it was pointless for Trump talking to Putin and co when they agree with one thing and the next day Putin and co disagree with it whilst in the meantime getting trump and co to do their bidding at the UN.
Putin and co never had a word to be trusted over. The only way anybody in the world can talk to anyone in Russia is through regime change and perhaps THEY may have a word that can be trusted.
Your word is your bond through either business or governance. Putin, Lavrov, Orwell Road never had that.
Ukraine will never give up & unaware of guerrilla warfare, terroism etc on occupying troops
Have most of those with a strong Ukranian identity not been 'ethnically cleansed' from the occupied territories?
Am I right in thinking that the mining deal betwixt the USA and Ukraine is for land currently occupied by Russia?
If so that keeps the USA bribed to be onside despite Putin's hold on Trump.
probably around th time you no longer needed one.
There is nothing particularly unusual about investment visas, albeit they have fallen out of fashion in Europe.
