Summary

Donald Trump seeks near-total control over Ukraine’s critical minerals, energy assets, and infrastructure in a new draft deal, significantly expanding his previous demands.

The proposal, sent to Kyiv, includes no security guarantees for Ukraine, sparking concerns about sovereignty and dependence on the US.

Energy law experts called the terms unprecedented, noting the US could withdraw without obligation. Trump also suggested US control of Ukraine’s nuclear plants.

Critics warn Russia may exploit Trump’s urgency for a quick deal, complicating peace efforts and post-war stability.

I think the world was ready to forgive the first transgression back in 2016. But he's only been in power for 2 fucking month. He's nose diving the country, and no one trusts the us anymore.

I wish these guys would realize that while powerful, the US cannot just exist in a vacuum. We all share this planet and limitless greed is not gonna get you anywhere. I really hope the US product / services boycotts are gonna have an impact.

As someone from the EU. I think the US is truly fucked. Every single government organ is focusing on removing any USA dependency going from big tech to parts and resources etc. And we're not the only country doing it. The military has already decided to buy 0 new USA equipment.

Republicans don't understand "soft power" in any way. They think you guys are "freeloading" off of us without any understanding that you're our best customers.

The US will never come back from this.

It’s wild that we have the reserve currency of the world which is soo fucking huge. Bigger than anything else I reckon. And these assholes are just going to throw that free money away.

Republicans don’t understand “soft power” in any way.

They have plenty experience with "soft power" in their bedrooms, hence the compensation.

[–] FilthyHookerSpit@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

They don't care. That soft power means nothing when Putin is pumping thousands, if not millions, into their pockets. They're looting this country. This is just also aligns with Putin plans to cripple the US.

I considered Bush II to be the "first transgression" already. There are some further back too, of course, you can go back to the Gulf of Tonkin or even the USS Maine, but the Iraq invasion was the first where all the contradicting evidence was already fully available to the public if they cared to go look at it. Those "misadventures" in the Middle East and Afghanistan were where the first pebbles of this current avalanche of American collapse really started to move, IMO.

What we're seeing now is just the point of no return, where nobody's trying to stop the slide any more.
