Summary
Ukrainian officials were advised not to sign a U.S. proposal on accessing rare earth minerals, as it prioritized U.S. interests and lacked security guarantees for Ukraine, according to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The document, presented by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bassent during a Kyiv visit, was intended as compensation for U.S. aid.
Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Zelenskyy stressed any agreement must ensure both financial benefits and security for Ukraine amid ongoing Russian aggression, and Ukraine is preparing a counter proposal.
Yes, it’s vital for Europe to unite against aggression from russia. That, including invasion of Ukraine, is expanding with attacks on communication cables at sea.
Maybe, symmetrically, Europe should support China’s ambition on Taiwan, so to make people at the “white” House understand common sense.
“Supporting Russia’s ally to get back at Russia” doesn’t make a lot of sense.
Right, of course. But if it is only in the discourse … to make pressure … still doesn’t make sense ?
No, it doesn’t make any sense. Chinas claim to Taiwan is as illegitamate as Russia’s claim is to Ukraine.
Yes, of course both are illegitamate … and there’s no way Trump’s negotiators believe their stance on Ukraine is legitimate either. My point is to make those negotiators admit their position is invalid by symmetry.
You had me with the first sentence. Then you walloped me with that second big line of stupid.
It’s not difficult to support an enemy of the USA these days thankfully, just lend your support to Canada.
They deserve it, and we need to stand with them against US Imperialist aggression.
lol. wow. I’m speechless. But I think you were snarking, so uh.
i now realize what i wrote was nonsensical since i really don’t want Europe to support China’s ambition on Taiwan, yet, i would like if Europe could do “tit for tat” on USA’s stupid take on Ukraine that is exposing Europe to russia’s military madness.
“tit for tat +” is demonstrably the best strategy to prevent escalation of conflicts and push for peace.
You know two wrongs don’t make a plus
