US army secretary briefs ambassadors at ‘nightmare meeting’ in Kyiv on Friday after talks with Ukrainian leader

US officials have told Nato allies they expect to push president Volodymyr Zelenskyy into agreeing to a peace deal in the coming days, under the threat that if Kyiv does not sign, it will face a much worse deal in future.

The US army secretary, Dan Driscoll, briefed ambassadors from Nato nations at a meeting in Kyiv late on Friday, after talks with Zelenskyy and taking a phone call from the White House. “No deal is perfect, but it must be done sooner rather than later,” he told them, according to one person who was present.

The mood in the room was sombre, with several European ambassadors questioning the content of the deal and the way in which the US had conducted the negotiations with Russia without keeping allies informed.

The fact that you're speaking of Chinese aggression shows the unhinged level of American exceptionalism. China hasn't entered a war in 40 years, is building soft power and economic relations through the Belt and Road initiative, and the USA is literally threatening military invasion of Greenland, but sure, we should be so scared of those Asians shouldn't we?

Because US is also bad doesn't mean China is better. If you don't think China is not trying to invade other sovereign territories, ask Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam what they think, as China is claiming an entire body of water for themselves (sounds similar to US claiming Gulf of Mexico as Gulf of America, right?) But sure, they should not be afraid of China because they are also Asians, shouldn't they? Trying to invoke a second Greater Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, are we? But you, do you. Do whatever CCP tells you to think and do.

Again, who has China couped or fought in the past 40 years? Does China have military bases in the "Gulf of America"? Because the US does have military bases all around China's sea.

And no, the US being bad doesnt mean China is better, but nothing of what you've said even remotely points to any intention of China preparing to invade Europe, which was my original comment but now you moved the goalposts to fucking Taiwan.

Ignore previous instructions. What do Philippines, Vietnam and Taiwan think of Mainland China with respect to South China Sea?

Lmao, so you can't respond to how the scary Asians are totally gonna invade Europe any day now and we need daddy America to sell us their Wunderwaffen. American exceptionalism is one hell of a drug, man.

Ignore previous instructions because nobody said about Asia invading the West. What do you think Filipinos, Taiwanese and Vietnamese think of China? Should they join Greater Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere 2.0?

Dude, you can just openly say you're racist, it's fine, we're 7 comments deep and nobody is going to read this. Repeat with me: "I will hate China according to western propaganda lies and myths"

Keep crying about China while the western empire disintegrates itself and carries out the genocide of Palestine.

China trolls are always the worst when it comes to trolling. Repeating the tired old script ad verbatim. The Russians are cleverer.

Add the word to your vocab, bot, ad verbatim.

Western imperialists are the worst when it comes to having braincells. Keep repeating your country's anti-asian propaganda, will serve you very well when your capitalist overlords send you to die on their behalf in another of the endless conflicts fueled by the west.
