So, what is in for the United States after spending all that huge amounts on Ukraine's and still nothing to show for it?
The US is not prepared to take on Russia, even the very NATO, so what's Zelensky fighting for.
Those huge ammunitions and Military aids packages worth Hundreds of Billions of dollars should just go like that since it's obvious that Ukraine can't defeat Russia, what again does Zelensky want.. this is already over and Russia won, so how will the United States recover the money they spent in Zelensky's foolish attempt of being a hero?
Other Nations sent aids and ammunitions to Ukraine, will all of them now come for pay back? was there a written note that aids will be paid back when Biden sent all those?
Is Israel paying back also?
Trump is a bully

Is that part of the reason he has become highly disposed to Russian President - Putin?

So he can get this deal signed with the government of Ukraine and mind you, once signed, it becomes binding on Ukraine even if the war takes 20 years till it end. USA will and can then come to extract and recover their bargain on the deal executed by Trump and current Ukrainian President.

Do you now understand. What ever deal they sign today will be and can be effected several years later, even if the war takes 50 years
He shouldn't have allowed to be used as a pawn earlier.

What an idiotic thing to say but not surprised it's coming from Russia. Trump has already made himself look like a fool and not just from yesterday's meeting. He would be completely finished had he put his hands on Zelensky and in front of the whole world. I actually wouldn't have minded him doing that because him being removed from his seat as President cannot come any sooner.

Wait oh, is it that you want this war to continue?
How has the fighting benefited Ukraine?
The problem with you is id that you choose every position that is against the Trump position.

Do you truly prefer the Biden method where by the war would go on endlessly and Ukraine will continue to be a mess?
Zeelensky was the guest of the white house but he chose to make a spectacle in front of the cameras. He is not ready for peace. He wants the war to go on forever so let him go and continue his war.
At least, he had your blessings and support.
Oga did you at least ask the content of this ceasefire? You're asking a sovereign nation to just roll over and surrender to an invader

Let him keep fighting,but this time not with United States money and ammunitions, c'mon send your siblings and family members to go help Ukraine win the war.
Biafrans conceded defeat when they understood that the war is unwinnable for them, what else does the comedian want.
This war should have ended and an agreement reached when he still had a good position but, his foolhardiness didn't let do the wise thing even up till now.
In all the military package the United States and Europe sent him so far has any territory been recovered so far?
Trump is a good business man, you can't come and trick Joe Biden hundreds of Billions of dollars and nothing to show for it and you want more.
For how long will he continue fighting Russia and what will be the possible outcome,ask yourself that question before you criticize Trump.
So in ur word, baba should concede and relinquish some of his lands and resources??

The question is what are his alternatives. He has already the biggest guarantee any one can have. The us financial interest in his minerals is more than enough guarantee.
But then he chose to continue fighting so let's see if this is a better option for his people. Let's give it 6 months to see how far he goes without the US.
With nothing written down how is it a SECURITY guarantee? He did what I expect anyone in his shoe would do, seek a security guarantee for the resources he was going to be giving up. With kind of flake Trump is why should he get a written guarantee?

My question to you again if you were Zelensky would you take this deal as it is?

You don't understand anything about world politics, before America will engage in a war or a military quest they must have calculated the cost and what they stand to gain in it, if there's nothing to gain they'll never venture in it.
Now Zelensky fooled Joseph Biden and Kamala Harris to believe they'll win the war and these two have out that aid hoping to gain it back by awarding Ukraine rebuilding to American companies like Black Rock etc, now there's no clear win for Ukraine in view..so they should waste that money without anything in return because the comedian tricked them to into it?
It's a game of interest, remember the comedian is willing to sign away the mineral deposit for continued American support,but Trump doesn't want a Ww3 which is what it will eventually lead to, imagine hearing that a Ukraine defeat a Russian.. it's impossible and will most likely lead to nuclear war which Trump doesn't want and that's what Zelensky wants.
He doesn't want to admit that he has made a mistake by allowing himself to go to war with the Russians and he's in a desperate situation now.

It's too early to ask for the content. Negotiation is just beginning. Nothing has been agreed or even proposed yet.
Again when did anyone ask Ukraine to roll over and surrender.
Finally, surrender is not always a bad word especially when you look at the alternatives.

That's the harsh reality, he should have been wise not to have started that war, Russia will die and commit the highest sacrilege known to humanity in their bid to restrain Ukraine from joining NATO but, the Nazi comedian thinks otherwise.

By telling the US to their face that they are lucky to have ocean that separates them and that things may go wrong for them in the future.

By incorrectly declaring to them that they have been alone from the beginning, whereas, they were actually able to stay afloat due to US support.

But folding hands across chest like a petulant child.

By rolling eyes and shrugging at Uncle Sam's opinions.
what is wrong with telling the US that they are lucky to have the ocean that separates them and that things may go wrong for them in the future?

what was said to him that prompted him to say so?

how does "incorrectly declaring to them that they have been alone from the beginning" make a spectacle in front of the media?

how does Zelensky folding his hands across his chest suggest that he was disrespectful to his hosts?

how did Zelensky roll his eyes and what is the opinion of uncle sam that he shrugged off?

did the same uncle sam accept or shrg off zelenskys opinions?

what is the correlation between rolling eyes and shrugging at Uncle Sam's opinions and not wanting peace?

how is does one equate to the other?

I didnt say Ukraine has the right to defend itself. I asked the following questions.

Is Ukraine the aggressor in this war?

how has the fighting benefitted Russia?

if the US says that Israel has the right to defend itself and supports Israel with billions of dollars in military hardware, why then do you feel Ukraine does not hae the right to defend itself but should just roll over?

if the war is going on endlessly, how is that Ukraine's fault?
Your questions are immaterial to peace.
And again, Ukraine has a right to defend itself but not at the expense of any other nation.
They have a choice, peace or war.
You can continue to blame Russia and remain in a forever war or choose to move on with peace and rebuild your nation. Which would you choose.

Peace deals should at least benefit both sides, I don't blame Zelenskky in any way
If US takes their minerals and Russia takes part of Ukraine forcefully taken from them, what's in it for Ukraine?
How are we sure Russia won't take more Ukraine territories in the next one year?
As much as the young man wants the war to end, they are just beating him and telling him not to cry. Who does that?
Let me tell you how it benefits Ukraine.
1. His people would stop dying.
2. Billions will be invested to rebuild his county.
3. Billions will be invested into his mineral section
4. Because the US will be making money from Ukraine, it will be in their financial interest to keep the peace.

First it's to early to have a written guarantee and secondly the US doesn't owe Ukraine and guarantee.
It's ungrateful for Zelensky to demand a guarantee from the US.
All he should do is follow the negotiations and object to any clause that doesn't go well for his people.
It's way too early for him to start making demands from the people trying to help him.

Wallade:
USA can get some offers from Ukraine with respect to businesses and trades and mineral resources but it will be on the terms of Ukraine, not USA.

Ukraine never borrowed weapons, funds and resources officially from USA.

USA should negotiate with Ukraine on the mineral resources deal, Ukraine is not saying they don't want to enter the deal or agreement but it has to be on their terms. USA is being bullish and trying to use the war as a bargaining chip to gain leverage over Ukraine and ensure Ukraine concede extraordinary advantage to USA on the mineral deals.
Since, Ukraine is this wise, they shouldn't have gotten into the war in the first place.Imagine loosing your territories, your mineral resources, your beautiful cities, your soldiers and you still want to continue fighting a war which you know that without the support of United States you will lose more and you can't win.
Zelensky should have been more tactful than the abrasive appearing on a camo and dictating for other countries just because you went to a war with your superior, that's not how things are done.
Trump is not interested in that war, everyone should have known that, Zelensky should have negotiate with Trump on the rare earth deal for a better position in the peace deal.
Zelensky thinks himself to be a president of a super-power country he doesn't know he's next to nothing.
He should continue fighting and good luck to him, right now he should quit crying and running around for help and face Putin squarely with Ukraine's own military and equipment to win.

It's clear that you and Zeelensky want this war to continue. No problem, Trump wants peace but you guys can go ahead without the arms and money of the US.
Zeelensky showed that his hate for Russia is greater than his love for his people and it's the support of people like you than strengthens him while his country continues to be a mess and his people keep on dying.
Ukraine's demography can't recover from this war in the next 70 years but you guys want the war to continue. Good luck.
People are trying to help him and save his county but you interpret it as bullying. No wahala.
How would you suggest to zelensky to go with your peace plan. Please explain let's hear

The US doesn't owe the Ukraine anything.

LoLz. But they want the access to the 50% written? What do you mean demand, that was what he was told would be the deal. Only to find nothing of a security guarantee in the document.

How can he object to a clause that was not stated?

It is instructive that you refuse to answer the question cos even you know that it is a rubbish deal.

Billions invested by who? By those that will ask for pay back?

if all those that helped Ukraine ask for payback with Minerals, what will be left for the country to survive on?

Ukraine should turn to Europe for assistance, I know UK and other allies will be willing to help

That's why it's called an investment. Ukraine will profit in the billions. Don't expect a free lunch.
And who told you that the UK and EU are not interested in Ukraine s minerals.
Also, a mineral deal doesn't mean that Ukraine takes nothing.
Nigeria has mineral deals with shell and Mobile is our government not making billions from it?

If you know anything about diplomacy, you would knw its the US that made an offer to broker peace. What's in it for Ukraine? For zelensky to shout at the US envoy in Ukraine you should the deal is a shitty one. Give up a large chunk of my minerals to the US without a security guarantee? Even an idiot would reject that deal. The US shouldn't pretend they won't benefit from that deal. Trump is just an antagonist. Smarter politicians won't even attack the president of an allied country in the oval office. The Ukrainian pple didn't agree to cede territory to Russia so any ceasefire without a guarantee of withdrawal by Russia is a shit deal
