The deal makes no sense since most of the minerals. Trump says he wants are controlled by Russia now. Russia is not giving bad land.

Half of them yes, but that’s in areas that Russia illegally annexed

If there’s any time for trump to prove his master negotiating and strong man skills, this would be it

LMFAO
The deal was on the table.
Western nations tanked it.
We've had this discussion already.

You have been given that information and linked to the sources. You do this constantly. I don't know if it's Alzheimer's or if you're trolling.
When was Putin squawking that he wanted a deal that would have the Russians leaving Ukraine? Ukraine didn't want to cede territory. I get that the West wanted to degrade Russia's military but at the time you all were saying Ukraine should just give up because not only would they not win but Russia was about to roll over them. You do this all the time, alter your stance to avoid looking wrong.

Trump a pretty good negotiator, but he’s not gonna negotiate Russia giving back land. It’s not gonna happen and he knows it.
Yeah you’re probably right.

Do you think zelensky and Trump would accept the other half of the minerals when they’re talking about this? Or do you think Trump is just kinda doin his thing and talking without necesarily backing it up?

Well, I never said Russia would roll over them. Ukraine was receiving billions and billions of dollars and weapons from us. I never once believe Russia wanted to take all of Ukraine I believe they got exactly what they wanted, possibly with a more extended war than they anticipated.

I've had this conversation with you.
I've linked you to the information.
A deal was on the table.

Western countries tanked it for a proxy war.
You supported needless death and destruction.

Now you're accepting the outcome I told you would happen two years ago.

Trump wants the war over. He’ll say anything to do it, he’s pragmatic enough to know, Putin is not giving up any land that he’s already taken.

I think it’s possible zelensky is playing to trump a bit here too, which could be very smart knowing trumps ego

Like, “hey trump, all these minerals could be yours. Lots of money, I’ll give it to you. Only problem is those pesky Russians illegally took them and are holding on to them”

No I told you Russia would get the territories they wanted like donbas and you pushed delusions of freedom fighters taking down Russia.

Nice try though.
BS, I said that Ukraine had a right to their independence and sovereignty. You were one of the ones saying they should just give up. Was it you who said Ukrainians are really Russians anyways?

I'd think Trump would be more inclined to do a deal with the Russians for them.

Anyone with at least half a brain knew that.

People got fooled into supporting a proxy war.
My only complaint ever was that there was a lot of senseless death, for an outcome that was known quite a long time ago. Ukraine was not going to be able to get back those territories. They’re tough and they have fought hard but Russia is just too strong and the only way Ukraine would’ve got land back is if other countries got involved with their own troops creating a possible world war. Ukraine is not worth a worldwide war.

If they got what they wanted why are they still fighting?
