    Ukrainian officials asked how the agreement would contribute to their country’s long-term security, but were only told it would ensure an American presence on Ukrainian soil — a vague response that left key questions unanswered, those people said.

    Trump trying to screw Ukraine before selling it out to Putin, how predictable.

      Timeline:

      1. Ukraine signs that obvious plot (lol)
      2. US provides some level of security
      3. Everything they have is mined with record speed
      4. Russia rebuilds their lost USSR kit
      5. US withdraws and leaves Ukraine to the rearmed wolves

      Who would trust what he says anyway? Even if Zelinsky thought it was a good idea, trump would never follow through.

      First we did the phony war, now we’re into the subdividing part, next comes total global continental warfare and gas chambers. We, the populace, have to be taking efforts to slow this down enough to where we can actually survive this

        It’s truly a question of whether or not the traditionally diverse military will fully go along with it.

        I’d like to think they won’t, but with the number of young men of every color embracing right wing demagoguery I’m deeply worried they may.

        I mean, our soldiers were fine with torturing people during the Iraq War. They have already proven to be able to be pushed to atrocities. The misinformation has only exploded since then while our education system has been gutted at the same time.

          yup. the purpose of boot camp is to strip a person of all ability to think for themselves, and then we’re stunned when soldiers do awful things

    not worth the paper it was printed on. without the ability to enforce an agreement, to make one with those who’ve already proven themselves not beholden to any, is simply foolish, no matter what the promise.
