However I’m sure an agreement was in place from 1994 for the Ukraine to give up its nuclear arsenal in exchange for economic compensation and assurances from Russia, the United States and United Kingdom to respect the Ukrainian independence and sovereignty.
The diplomatic brilliance. They spoke right over his head: Watch what you wish for. We're just being nice to you now to keep the tantrum level down. But be assured once this is sorted, you'll be shown the door, or a window. That detail is still up for debate."
I get that.
It just feels like we’re failing to understand our new reality and, desperately trying to please them to keep them by our side.
We’ll take all the time they allow to pivot but we need to stop begging.
The appeasement didn’t help with Putin and sure inspire Trump to bully us as well.
Now lets see Trump work his "magic relationship" he's bragged about - since Putin said absolutely NO to European boots on the ground.
Putin doesn't want the war to end - because if he did all that would have to happen is for hi to STOP ATTACKING! Done - simple. He doesn't want to do that.
In my experience when you are told to stand on your own you grow & learn where you find you CAN do it and any and all dependency is severed. As an Irish representative I can assure you my support is all about a United Europe now, not a Russian dictated annexing! Trumps BS is making only us stronger!
I hope they are not buying anything from the US military to do it. I’m sick of the US getting rich everytime there’s a war!! It’s time to cut them out of profiteering on the backs of the unfortunate!!
They ARE taking over - the void Trump is leaving when he started saying the things he's saying (and doing). I'm super proud of them (and embarrassed to be an American).
Lol. Small signals here and there -Washington was not ready for European (incl UK) action. Not at all. Watch them backstep now and try and Trump in the middle, trying to convince us and themselves that he is leading all of this somehow and that his approval is needed. You are losing your allies.
Not sure why our Defence Secretary is talking to a white supremacist at all. Clearly the US doesn't vet their politicians or don't care who represents them.

We do as necessary! That’s it.
What with the vassal mindset?
The world we knew is no more;
Step up for yourself and be unapologetic about it!

#USA is NOT keeping THEIR #WORD again! Hence they #Betrayed #Ukraine & their #FORMER #ALLIES!
#TRAITORS!
We got the message:
1. Do #NOT #TRUST #USA!
2. Do #NOT buy #AMERICAN #MILITARY #EQUIPMENT!
3. Get your own #NUKES #ASAP!
i can understand USA not wanting to burden all costs for global democracy & leadership ..
however .. when Trump unnecessarily insults EU .. it just appears childish & vindictive ..

asked them to. They did it to ensure their own survival from an attack by Russia.
