I hate to agree with a Tory but Wallace has been the only one in the UK talking sense about the war in Ukraine.

I can’t believe this is even being considered, give up land, no NATO membership, no US security guarantee, Putin says no Euro troops and the US get 50% of minerals for ever??

This is a fuckin joke surely??

This is a shame down and Trump should be told to get fucked!

Well done, Ben Wallace for calling the potential deal for what it is. Trump and his admin are showing themselves to be amoral, evil bullies.

They think they show themselves as powerful. But in creating these evil deals they diminish themselves and reduce America's standing in the world.

Trump's criminal behaviour has no bounds. Pure and utter evil in its basest form!

I wonder if 47 is also looking to get the impounded money in the EU/UK etc. back to putin rather than its possible use to fund Ukraine. Was that ever going to get going?

Sickening, everything is about money with Trump!

My take, very different from this, still from a liberal perspective

Why the fuck is anyone shocked at this

Course it is… Would these be the ‘rare earth’ minerals Elon and Tesla need to make their Car Batteries?

Trump has replaced the eagle with a vulture as US emblem.

Let's face it - it's not the first time that the USA has used war to enrich itself. If it hadn't been for pearl harbour, the US would probably have continued to denude the wealth of Britain

It’s one thing to get trump to agree to something, it’s another thing for him to honour any agreement!!

sarahnicol.bsky.social•2 days ago

Trump and honour aren’t compatible, he wouldn’t know honour if it slapped him

timnz.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes we all know he it a complete sociopath, no matter how outrageously dishonest and/or inhumane his actions he will never accept any wrongdoing! #NotFitToGovern

He’s more than willing to capitalise on tragedy and loss of life to extort what he wants, seems to be a game to him!!

The USA should be the provider for all of the worlds wars and expecting anything in return is the very definition of fascism.

That makes it illegal and it will be undone in a few years....They will not even be able to get any minerals out of the ground in Ukraine before Trump is long gone and 10 feet under !....Lets see if Zelensky will even sign it, Trump have most likely altered everything again.

Wallace is that very rarest of things........a Tory that didn't/doesn't make me want to leave the Country.

maxganzii.bsky.social•1 day ago

Wallace was never a close ally of Johnson. Wallace has always been a decent, upstanding chap.

Why is Zelenskyy signing any kind of deal? Trump clearly just wants to get a share of Ukraines natural resources and let Putin have the rest. This is a big mistake.

jeremydublin75.bsky.social•1 day ago

Ukraine hasn't signed anything yet

asleepinyorkshire.bsky.social•2 days ago

Well said Sir (Robert) Ben. Article 32 of The Budapest Memorandum signed by the USA agrees they willnot coerce (Extort) Ukraine. The USA has signed the NATO agreement. I'd say Trumps administration cannot be trusted.
