Summary
Donald Trump seeks near-total control over Ukraine’s critical minerals, energy assets, and infrastructure in a new draft deal, significantly expanding his previous demands.
The proposal, sent to Kyiv, includes no security guarantees for Ukraine, sparking concerns about sovereignty and dependence on the US.
Energy law experts called the terms unprecedented, noting the US could withdraw without obligation. Trump also suggested US control of Ukraine’s nuclear plants.
Critics warn Russia may exploit Trump’s urgency for a quick deal, complicating peace efforts and post-war stability.
Trump doesn’t even have total control over his bowels.
It’s kinda sad to see the direction the USA it’s going these days. The goodwill towards the States degraded so much in the last few months in my community.
I think the world was ready to forgive the first transgression back in 2016. But he’s only been in power for 2 fucking month. He’s nose diving the country, and no one trusts the us anymore.
We’re at 2 months 1 week.
I feel like it’s quite obvious to everyone that the us is just going to demand more and more until Ukraine says no. Then the US will claim Ukraine doesn’t want peace
Isn’t that exactly what happened, like, three weeks ago?
I hope at this point Zelenskyy realizes that any deal with the US will be bad and is just stringing Trump along to buy time.
The Art of the Con
Who is kidding who? Ukraine could agree and Trump would just give it all to Putin. The guy is not an honest broker, I wish the media would stop treating him as one.
This is some Darth Vader shit right here, “Pray I don’t alter the deal further.”
Trump: I’m negotiating a ceasefire in the Black Sea.
Putin: I’m going to continue bombing Ukraine.
Trump: I want infinity resources or the bombing continues.
Just two Russians trying to get on the same page.
Fuckin’ toddler.
I’m alternating the deal. Pray I don’t alternate it any further.

It may be dangerous to be America’s enemy, but to be America’s friend is fatal.
Counter-offer a small plot of land, in a minefield, on the ukrainian-russian border, currently under russian occupation. Trump can grow carrots there. But only of he can clear out the occupiers first.
why not on russia occupied ukraine territories like crimea ?
Only one problem: those aren’t his to take. They belong rightfully to the Ukrainians.
This won’t stop him from the bluster he spurts on a daily basis.
I don’t understand this. It’s really unlikely Ukraine has so many mineral resources and even if they do, the investments needed to extract them would be huge. Wouldn’t the investments alone and manpower needed be worth it for Ukraine. It’s not really likely that Ukraine will be able to finance this extraction themselves?
All this assumptions rely on how I understand this deal to be structured, but I really don’t know how this works.
Not sure who is worse, Russia or the U.S.
At this point, I actually think its the US. Russia is affecting a few million peoples lives in a major way with their war, but the US is about to destroy hundreds of million lives in their own country.
