Ok. This is similar to the "secret pact of continuous colonization" that France and Britain made leaders of African countries to sign before granting them flag independence except that unlike this Ukrainian deal having a cap of 500 Billion Dollars, African leaders foolishly agreed to remain subservient to the West forever.

Trump's strategy though or maybe it isn't really a strategy. Trump seems to have a penchant for going hard at first only to later reach a mutual compromise.

That's what the Egyptians said to the Greek..

Romans said something similar about the Byzantine..
Byzantine gave way to the Spanish and Portuguese.

US will fall to the Chinese..it's simply the nature of Empires to rise and fall..
Each successive Empire last a little less longer than the preceding.
China will overtake US this decade..

These three sentences I bolded above are your "personal" theories. While you are entitled to them, they look too shallow.

If you know how long China has been in existence and the so many mistakes they have made...also, the "almost get there" syndrome the country has....mehn...you will understand the reason China may likely not overtake the US. Selfishness and selfcenterness are the other names for China. See...why don't you go ask for ChinAid after the US pause theirs. China...of all countries. The chinkos here...can't you see their attitudes? Very selfish humans. Every powerful nation must protect itself, but if China takes over....the world will cry. So, the same law of nature you mentioned will definitely work against China to not become the World power as long as the US is a bit fair. Not saying that the US is clean, but what I am saying is that China is the worst nation anyone can think of giving power to. To me, Russia is better to take over instead of handing it over to the Chinese despite the fact that I don't want Kremlin to lead the human race.

Also, your view that Ukraine is now a slave (not going to use that "sword of yours) to the US and Russia might be a result of your limited knowledge of international affairs. The US and Russia cannot unite because they are two parallel nations. The former Societ Union is the equivalent of NATO, and the US destroyed them. So, there is no way Russia will ever unite with the US. Students of history know this. What is just happening presently is the Trump-Putin thing...definitely not the US-Russia thing.

Zelensky doesn't have any choice other than play along. He has tried. But you all may be shocked the way the US is going to pay Russia again. The US has no issue with Ukriane from day 1 because Ukriane is trying to break away from Moscow which is good for the US. Period. This is the ultimate goal of the US also, but Trump administration does not mind allying temporarily with Russia to save people from dying further. And this should be commended too.

Zelensky is smart too to quickly release something to Trump who is bent on making profit for the US after all, Ukraine has taking far too much from the US alone. So, Ukraine is indebted to the US no matter how Trump rubbished their president, and they know it too. That's common sense.

Kudos to the UK prime minister and French president who are with Zelensky trying to talk to Trump. And this is going to change the whole game. This world is about "give and take". If you continue taking, you are a dead meat. These EU nations have just shown that the US is the King. Dem be "follow follow", and Putin knows it too.....no wonder he challenged them fearlessly. Russia's nightmare is the US.

Let's compare Ukriane to Palestine. While Palestine has nothing to offer anymore, Ukriane is still pulling things off. The US is interested more in Ukriane than Russia in my view, and that's the ultimate goal. So, the game might change anytime.

No one can solve all the world's problem, but we can find areas to agree so we can move on; otherwise, the world will come to an end.

Ok na, una get sense well well. U.S has left the war, let E.U sustain it for one month let me see.

America first.
He said it. He's doing it.

The Ukrainian comedian got over $300B from sleeping Joe. Nothing to show for it. You didn't win the war. You didn't cause Russia any significant damage.

He must repay the money.

That money was paid as tax from other people's sweat. See lizard, he wants to be dragging power with Russia at the expense of American tax payer money.

Americans didn't ask for the war and they're not benefiting anything from it directly or indirectly. The war must end and you must account for all the billions.
America benefits indirectly , the benefit or price they paid with the money they spendt in ukraine is to keep their name as super powers
They wont mention this silent benefit. They wanted to tam Russia up so as to remain as super powers in the world stance. which they achived,

Do you really understand what made America a super power? China does not have the money to dash around.

How much is your country owing China? The Chinese companies operating in your country what's their modus oparendi?
America made China! China can start taking over from America by filling the gap of dashing Aid and feeding the world for 2 months let me check something.

Lol

Just watch how Trump will avoid calling Zelensky a dictator. In his words, he said all his life he has been making deals. Lol. The kin money the US will make from this joint partnership with Russia and Ukraine will be massive. BRICS will not overpower the US like we thought. A president of the US has stopped them. Na black South Africans I pity the most among the BRICS nations.

Also, China will have to change its strategy, but I doubt they will beat the US in the next 100 years, and they may never beat them till eternity.

The US is a land with opportunities.
Chai!

So the war will end just like that, and the US will be the real winner?

This one move will silence all Trump-haters, MSNBC, and the walruses at The View.

Wahala for Europe, sha.

Is even people that are projecting China to be what they're not. Those guys are battling to manage and feed their people. If you have worked closely with a Chinese, you will understand that they're all about work and money. They're very frugal with money and are not liberal both spending and divulging information like the Europeans and Americans. America will rule the world till Jesus Christ comes. One of the things that stands the US out is their ability to build and maintain strong allies across the world. Almost all the consequential countries in the world today like Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Europe as a continent, Canada, India, etc are America's strongest allies. America is like an open book that people at least know what is happening in there, unlike China highly secretive with a dictatorial government. Even some of the countries having ties with China today is basically for business and nothing more, the trust is not there.

Look up the funds given to Ukraine by Europe and the US...and the associated terms as quoted in the original post.

I'm not Trump, not an American, but he's doing EXACTLY what he said he would do if elected...and I love him for this...

Don't you think it's better than the stealing and looting happening as one of the condition is that the monies accrued must be used to develop especially the host communities of those minerals.

After WW2 devastation, the United States ensured Japan and South Korea were rebuilt to become advance Nations today. Same thing will happen in Ukraine, Ukrainians won't be blaming the West for under-development the way Lazy African leaders do.

With this deal, Chinese plans to starve the United States of rare earth metals has failed.

God1000 will weep badly after seeing this news.

You brain dead people think trump is going to let him go scot-free.

Now if it were you, you will let it slide...

Yes trump has to be a metal who accepts all the beating, he must not feel pain..because he is not human.

For a president to leak classified conversation, he has created a generational enemy with Republican party, that's too huge
If you read Trumps "think big and kick ass" you will know who he really is. He sees forgiving disloyalty as a sin, in his words "never forgive disrespect, always get even"
