      Absolutely brilliant point you have there. Are we just resuming after getting Putin’s counter Intel systems in place?

        My thoughts exactly. Tell Ukraine an attack is planned on X and evacuate to Y only to have Russia attack Y. I’m sure Ukraine isn’t stupid, and they are on top of it, but this is just a way to point out that “actually we are cooperating with Ukraine” while basically all of our information is compromised, if not at least heavily questionable in origin. So, his supporters get to say Trump is actually assisting Ukraine when people point out that he’s a Russian asset. It’s so transparent.

    No doubt Trump will celebrate this as a win. Not as a, “I realized that I fucked up.”

      Whatever he has to tell himself is fine. The important part is he’s learning to realize he fucked up and correcting it. Never thought we’d see that.

          I suspect he’s flailing for anything that will salvage the stock market he’s been fucking up. At least until he sees something to make him mad again. That decrepit, senile, orange old bastard has lost like 97% of his object permanence.

    Finally, the presidents of both countries agreed to conclude a comprehensive agreement as soon as possible for the development of Ukraine’s critical mineral resources to strengthen Ukraine’s economy and ensure long-term prosperity and security for Ukraine.

    :/

    I hope Ukraine isn’t forced to give up too much. Not happy to see this part going forward at all.

      Yeah that effing sucks. I really didn’t think they’d bend the knee. I can’t blame them, but it still makes me sad.

      We can only hope decent people sabotage as much of it as possible, knowing it isn’t even remotely right.

    Well, short-term, this is good. Clearly though, the US can’t really be relied upon, considering recent happenings…

        Because Trump literally was talking about deporting legal Ukraine nationals from the US for no reason and no criminal actions, just because they came from Ukraine and were here legally. Don’t come at me when you don’t know.

          I’m very much aware. The problem is that’s not at all what this story is about, so you’re introducing irrelevant info into the thread.

              You are arguing with a mod and journalist of nearly 30 years. I am not going to go into a treatise on why your point is correct but not correct for this discussion.

                Allow me a treatise on why you should play hide and go fuck yourself.

                So what if you’re a mod? That doesn’t mean that you’re right. Where the fuck do you get off threatening another user who makes a point you don’t like just because you have mod power?

                Real "because I said so!“ vibes. You’re weird.
