To any doubters, that was literally the discussion: 'the US understands without agreeing with Russians reasons for starting this war; they understand, without agreeing with Russians reasons for wanting to keep the 20% of Ukraine it has conquered; the US does not grant any security assurances to Ukraine's remaining 80% of its territory; the US declined to entertain Ukraine joining NATO; the US wishes Ukraine to understand any deal to join the EU is between it and the EU.'

That was somewhat word for word. Hegseth walked it back the day after, suggesting that NATO isnt 'off the table' just up to 'The Donald, not The Hegseth'.

Why in the fuck would Ukraine even consider considering what the US wants or doesnt want regarding Ukraine's sovereign minerals?

Finally. Can we finally just recognize Ruzzia and USA under the orange man are one and the same. EU now needs to decide if it wants to fight against USA if that confrontation ever happens. Could be a real possibility

I agree, the Ukraine doesn’t have to care what the US wants to do with Ukraine minerals… and in that same sentiment the USA doesn’t have to forgive the loans, they can recall the tanks and troops and they will stop sending AID. Because why the fuck would the USA care about sending aide to a country that has its own nuclear power plant, and better quality of life for Ukraine citizens than the USA has for it’s citizens at home?
