to stop worrying about stuff like that!
Trump nailed it. No more money to fight Russia, because we don't want anymore fighting, and we just want peace.

..and that Ukraine could pay us back for the money we already gave them
by giving us minerals from their mines.
European speaking, fine with the money, happy to dedolarize the world. you guy
are defaulted anyway with your money... just speculating the other way.
but as a diplomatic standard, it was just a TV shit show driven by dumb comedian and to be clear, Trump was that bad comedian yesterday.
I'm with Zelensky in this case.

The problem is that Zelenski doesn't. Peace means and end to the gravy train of money. It also means an end to power. He suspended elections
in Ukraine because of the "war" (he's legally allowed to do that) but
his popularity is extremely poor. No war. Elections must happen.
Z-ski is out of a job.

On the one hand, I really don't like the idea of funding a foreign war. On the other hand, back in the 1990s the Western powers (*including* the USA) promised to defend Ukraine against Russia as a trade-off for
Ukraine giving up the former USSR nukes that were in their territory.
Now, our current leadership seems to be trying to get around that by denying that Russia invaded Ukraine at all. They seem to believe that "peace" means laying down their weapons and letting Russia have whatever they want.
So much for American promises.

So, Ukraine, a democratic country, should just roll over and let an
autocratic dictator take whatever he wants?
I'm guessing you'd be fine if Putin decided he wanted Alaska back too?
Is that how we are doing things? If we loan another country money, we
own them?
We better start learning Japanese then, since Japan owns. 1.1 Trillion
in US Debt.
Maybe we should have renamed The Gulf of Mexico to The Gulf of China, since they own $750 billion of our debt.
Or maybe we should have renamed Mt. Denali to Mt. Charlie, since the UK owns $690 billion of us debt?

He can fight all he wants, but it's not fair to the families losing

vote Zelensky out of office but he won't allow that either. With that being said, it's actually 2 autocratic dictators having a battle.

The USA paid for Alaska. Ukraine did not pay for independence from
Russia.

Yea. If we default on our loans, then it will be smart for us to start learning Mandarin. We're incredibly lucky that the American people
were smart enough to vote against that from happening.

Thanks, I missed that. But I think they forgot to ask them if they
approve of hundreds of deaths per day.

That's fair to say about funding, it would be even better to say funding foreign wars was never part of US history and political strategy to keep post WWII dominance. This one is no different than Venezuela, Iran-Iraq wars, Aftanistan, etc... It's obvious that if there is a deal, your country is more
than happy to sponsor any war, anywhere without a blink of an eye.
US is shifting from that partnership. I believe it will just mobilize EU to stay united in both supporting Ukraine on that journey and to eliminate any sort of US dominance in Europe as a whole. Huge chance this will succeed in th
long-run.
Rest will just become history.
Thus... yeah.. isolationism maybe works for many domestic groups in the countr
and that's OK to admin to the general satisfaction of Trump's electorate in USA... but it won't help it stay relevant in international politics if that continues... and may actually make your crusade against the Chinese be driven solo.

The USA paid for Alaska. Ukraine did not pay for independence from Russia.
Based on the polls, and the general consensus around Ukraine and
Europe, Zelensky seems pretty popular.

Oh, Then I guess King Chuck can just declare that the United States still belongs to the United Kingdom, since we never "paid" to be independent, we just "declared" it.
Yea. If we default on our loans, then it will be smart for us to star learning Mandarin. We're incredibly lucky that the American people were smart enough to vote against that from happening.
Ukraine has not defaulted on it's debts. So why do you feel like you own part of it?
It's easy to talk about saving lives, while truth is you don't give a
shit and all matters is that you keep the money that's yours to spend somewhere else.
Again.. I'm fine with the money, just don't judge's people will to fight what they believe in. It's their right to believe in what drives them.
I'm guessing you'd be fine if Putin decided he wanted Alaska back too?
I have asked them if we should just lay down if Mexico invades the USA
to take their former territory back but only get crickets. <shrugs>
So I guess they'd be fine with Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, California, and a good portion of Colorado becoming states of Mexico and taking their economic contributions with them.
Thanks, I missed that. But I think they forgot to ask them if they appro hundreds of deaths per day.
They probably know that, if Russia is allowed to keep the areas they've taken over, a lot of Ukrainians will continue to die in those areas despite the alleged "peace."

Ukraine was not a part of Russia. Ukraine was a part of the USSR along with Russia.
If you want to go back far enough in history, much of European Russia was part of the Kievian Rus, the first slavic country in Eastern Europe. Formed in 882, the capitol was in Kiev -- in other words, in Ukraine.

You would think they might realize that such a reaction might push these other countries towards partnering with China... making them stronger... but I don't think they have thought that far ahead.
Ask a Ukrainian woman if she's ok with her husband fighting to the death with the Russian army, or ask a mother if she wants her son to do it.
Let's borrow trillions of dollars from the world bank so that gimpy
losers from around the world can play dictator and fight for what they believe in.
Who will pay the war costs if the USA goes to war with Russia over
Alaska? Ukraine?

Tell me, if US had fully pledged invasion on your homeland and losing, what your laws say about presidential elections if one's turn end before war is over?
I'm pretty sure they'd love to hear they need to pay more than blood to
be independent from the oppressor as you suggest in other thread. I'm
sure that would bring more love and understanding to your way of "supporting them".

To me, life is more important than independence from Russia. Even if that means eating peanut butter and bread for the rest of my life, with 2 squares of toilet paper per day, and only 1 TV channel. It's better than death.

World Bank? You do realize that America owes a whole bunch of money to individual countries, like Japan, China, Canada, and the UK, right?
What Trump is trying to do is to broker an unenforceable cease-fire so that the US military industrial complex, in turn, can supply a whole
bunch of weapons. He is not trying to broker "peace."
What is much more likely to happen is that the EU and Canada (and maybe China) will fill the void here and the USA will eventually become irrelevant. We might even become piriahs, like Russia, with no allies.

Using this logic, America should have sided with the Nazis in WWII. The Axis pretty much had the war won until Hitler got the crazy notion to
open a second front. The war would have probably been over in 1940 if we'd followed this logic, giving Hitler plenty of men and resources to start a new war on the Eastern Front.

I'm pretty sure we're talking about WWIII scenario anyway, with whole
NATO mobilized if that happened.
But the point is not in money, but in principles. Your felon president just disrespects people the way he communicates and this is not
building any sort of trust toward any sort of partnership with the
whole country he represents.
That's the issue of Zelenski's meeting in White House last week. His behavior made you guys no different than Russia in his peoples eyes, immediately.

You and I can discuss whether or not it's worth it to die for our country's independence, because we have the freedom to choose.
Ukrainian men don't have that freedom, and they are literally fighting
for freedom that doesn't exist, not even if they win the war.
They have no choice, and they can not sit around and discuss it on the internet. They have to fight because that's what Mr Polo Shirt wants.
Strange that you aren't advocating for mothers and wives of
Russian soldiers. Why aren't you advocating for Russia to stop

Putin said he is willing to negotiate an end to the conflict while Zelensky insists on a fight to the death. So Russian women are also suffering due to Zelensky's inaction. I'm grateful for the freedom
that we have in the USA, and if Ukrainians want to experience the same kind of freedom, then they need to come here to get it, because
Zelensky's not giving it to them.

Like Putin? Becuase you seem to take everything he says at face value.
The good news is, major organizations that do these polls publish all their data, including how it was gathered.

That could also be true. If that is the case, and it goes through, I expect that Elon will be adding a mining company to his empire soon.

Right... just mixing business with politics in unregulated way is
straight line to corruption. It's OK to keep it corrupted as long as you have tyrants and oligarchs keeping the ruling power... but since Ancient Roman it's known tyrants are eventually stabbed in the back... quite
often by friends.
