    This sounds like a very shitty deal. Why should ones freedom be paid by letting some one else exploit you. Don’t do it.

    And trump can easily just walk back. He has no sense of commitment.

    I’ll double my donations to Ukraine and Europe will just have to step up. There is no other choice.

    Noooo.

    Trump won’t deliver on his promises anyway. Why do you want to get robbed

    The proposal was to give Washington financial benefits for helping Ukraine in a truce, even if Trump has repeatedly refused to commit any US military force as a back-up to European troops who might act as peacekeepers.

      Zelenskyy is operating without ego. He needs to keep all options open as situations and minds can change. This also has the benefit of making Ukraine look to be the agreeable party between the two for right now.

      I mean that’s not our decision and we have to respect what the Ukrainian leadership thinks is best.

      Fact is the EU failed to protect the Ukraine and if Zelensky thinks that the war isn’t winnable without US support, then he should know it the best.

      Furthermore, such a war is nothing a country can support forever, over three years of combat, that is just immense. Half the country moved away or is injured or even dead.

        Fact is, the EU delivered way more Aid than the US to Ukraine

        I mean that’s not our decision and we have to respect what the Ukrainian leadership thinks is best.

        Well it is a bit dependent on us, if we would deliver even more support and military stuff they wouldn’t be forced to take this shitty deal
