Yeah, it’s a smart play whatever else we do, he loves the monarchy and was desperate to meet the Queen in his first term.

Charlie might have to pucker up and take one for the team.

Or we could offer Prince Andrew on a permanent loan.

I like it. Bribe him with the endorsement of royal approval. Horse drawn carriage, the works.

Although given his behaviour during his previous visit the pomp and pageantry aren't so keen on him

This NYT article just shows the extent of Trumps massive attempted grift and rape of the victim nation, no security guarantees, he wants 500B in a fund now, even though US total aid so far is circa 130B and its not just from rare earth minerals, he also wants 50% from all ports, gas and oil, , he wants 66% of anything in Russian controlled Ukraine. And there's no clear undertaking on how Ukraine may profit at all.


it wasn't paywalled for me, but will add non paywalled underneath just in case

Surely they can't sign that sort of 'deal'? It's pure asset stripping.

Open top horse drawn carriage

If that happens, there are a couple of Tesco Metro shops in the area which sell eggs

Now that has made me chuckle, though anyone who takes it seriously I have to worry about.

So now they want half of basically everything, not just minerals. They’re offering a slow death at US hands and threatening a quick death at Putin’s hands if they don’t agree to it.

This is treachery, pure and simple.

Yep...

This twitter/X thread summarises Trumps attempted exploitation and economic rape very well.

Is there a non-Twatter copy of this thread somewhere? Would like to read the full thread but I deleted my account on there a few months ago and there’s no way I’m going back.

And how will this 'deal' bring about peace? I can't see how it does that at all. Putin isn't going to suddenly stop fighting just because the US have made a huge profit?

Is all this really happening? Can someone please confirm?

To try to asset strip, with no end date, a nation that has been ravaged by an invasion by a brutal aggressor.
It should be Russia being asset stripped, not Ukraine.

There aren't the words in the English language to adequately describe what I think of this.
