Agreed. I'd wager Trump will just hand him over to Putin. Kind of like the partitioning of Poland in 1939 between Russia and...... oh someone else I wonder who.....
Also getting real fucking tired of his way of acting as if the US is the only one who has given and must get a return on that as fast as possible, even before that war has even ended and long before reconstruction has been made
Europe already does back up Ukraine with everything, and has been for a long time. More than the US, actually.
It's just that Ukraine needs more than what Europe gives. Probably: more than Europe CAN give. We don't have all the things that go boom in the quantities the largest military budget in the world buys you.
A thin hope that the deal will make USA help some. Longer part is that it's a mutual partnership by now that both will get money from. Also it will take so long to start it up that Trump won't be president by that time and the hope probably is that a new president will just cancel the deal.

Sounds like Zelensky can skip the trip, which is probably a trap anyways...

What are the odds that Trump's plane goes down? Or he disappears in Russia mysteriously?
Ingellvar
Probably not likely enough

Nothing to offer while trying to force the other person to give up a lot, all from Trumps art of the deal handbook no doubt.

Why exactly should Ukraine enter into a deal on mineral wealth with the US if the US isn't going to provide security assurances?

Trump isn't leaving the White House until he dies.
Mohareb
That might very well happen before this deal have gone on so long that they got a proper infrastructure to actually earn money from it

I wake up every morning with the hope that I'll see he had a massive heart attack on the toilet during a 3 AM social media posting frenzy.
