Quite shocking details of Trump’s proposal. It’s not just the rare/critical minerals of Ukraine, but everything from oil, gas, agricultural land, ports and other infrastructure!
And all the agreements will be governed by US laws!
US will take 50% of all revenues received by Ukraine from extraction of resources and will have a right of first refusal for the purchase of exportable minerals.
As one official put it, US proposal means ‘pay us first, and then feed your children.’
The American deal for Ukraine is worse than the financial penalties imposed on Germany and Japan after their defeat in 1945!

We do not yet know whether Putin will agree with what Trump is proposing in Ukraine. This is just a one-sided gloating, just like tariffs are to punish China and every Tom, Dick and Harry. It is just a self-proclamation to uplift his own falling ego. The whole world, including three-year old kids, know who are going to pay for those tariffs and it is not China or any other country.
The greatest blessing of all must be that BRICS and the Global South market can afford those countries facing tariffs by the USA to do trade with the Global South itself for their exports, not just the USA and the EU. To put it more bluntly, even the EU is distancing itself from the USA, with two European states wanting to join BRICS - Serbia and Turkey. Turkey had tried for years to be accepted into the EU, but had been pushed aside, just like India. But Turkey is in NATO (which I consider to be European) and Putin must be wary of Turkey having split loyalties like India.
Why would Putin even want to accept the USA in Ukraine, or even NATO expanding into Ukraine, when all along he knew there was a nefarious agenda behind the move. It would defeat the purpose of having the war and all the sacrifices. What is going to happen once Trump is no longer the President? The USA could easily go back on its words, tear up any agreement just like after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Just listen to what Trump is boasting about not caring even if he breaks the rules to take what he wants. Oh, the rules are for others to follow, not the USA by the way.
Trump just wants desperately to punish China by hook or by crook but is falling into a trap he dug for himself. Trump has to extend his tariffs to every country that have Chinese investments and punishing them the same manner as punishing China. Every country could mean the whole world, since Chinese investments are worldwide, not just in rich countries of the West. That is making friends and allies extremely wary of the USA and pushing them closer towards China I would say. It is making the USA more isolated. But that is what Trump wants after all. Trump can lure all the manufacturing back to the USA, but can he realistically think the USA can produce anything cheaper than China to sell to the rest of the world? Stupidity has no cure really.
Man proposes, God disposes! Enough said.
Well this is what happen when you deal with bully. Maybe Clownlenky was thinking that whatever is given by dementia Joe is free. Guess most politicians around the world also think the US is helping them for free. Am not surprise that all our military equipment purchased from the US may come with certain condition attached which dictate how we should use it or how we should continue to purchase more (or maybe certain percentage of the money should be transfer to certain account).
Like F35 stealth fighter jets. They are stealth, meaning we paid for them but cannot see them. They must have been stationed in the USA to protect the USA.
Trump tells Zelenskyy he has no cards to play. Trump is holding all the cards in EU countries as well. Scholz also has no cards to play. So does Macron. He is now giving all the cards to Putin. And the whole USA is raving mad.
Trump thinks he can grab anything he wants using force, just like grabbing 'pussies'.
