Summary
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock warned that forcing Ukraine into an unfair peace deal would lead to more war, rejecting any agreement that concedes territory to Russia without security guarantees.
She urged Europe to pressure the U.S. to support its NATO allies. Meanwhile, Trump dismissed Zelensky’s role in peace talks, claiming Ukraine has “no cards” to negotiate.
U.S.-Ukraine relations remain strained, though some American officials signaled continued support.
Trump’s team insists Zelensky will eventually accept a U.S. rare earth mineral deal despite Kyiv’s current resistance.
Ukraine should immediately start surface testing nuclear weapons.
Ukraine does not have nuclear weapons. They gave them up for peace…
That’s why they have to test the new ones.
No one’s ever going to do that again. Trump has guaranteed a new era of nuclear proliferation.
While the nuclear weapons where physically present on Ukraine soil, the country did not have operational control over them.
No one will accept a deal with the US for the next 20 years. Zelensky would get a better outcome if he made a pact with the actual Devil than with those bozzos in DC.
art of the deal
Step 1: capitulate
Probably ‘extortion’. What has Ukraine done ‘bad (ethically wrong) enough to merit blackmail’?
Good. Call it what it is.
I say this as a US citizen, for AT LEAST the next four years, do not rely on the US for ANYTHING. Even if Trump says you can count on the US, even if he signs a contract in blood, it isn’t worth even wiping your shit with.
He will give everything to Putin. That’s the only thing you can count on.
It’s time for a different superpower to pick up the reins or ascend. The EU can become that, but they really need to stop pretending the US is going to do anything for them.
China has been working toward that superpower status for some time. They’re a lot more ambitious than the leaders in the EU and much more brazen.
I would say they’ve had superpower status since the 1950s, since the wars in Korea and Vietnam.
Too bad they are extremely authoritarian.
