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.
Republicans don’t understand “soft power” in any way. They think you guys are “freeloading” off of us without any understanding that you’re our best customers.
The US will never come back from this.
They don’t care. That soft power means nothing when Putin is pumping thousands, if not millions, into their pockets. They’re looting this country. This is just also aligns with Putin plans to cripple the US.
It’s wild that we have the reserve currency of the world which is soo fucking huge. Bigger than anything else I reckon. And these assholes are just going to throw that free money away.
They have plenty experience with “soft power” in their bedrooms, hence the compensation.
