Potentially a deal between zelensky and trump, US gets Ukraine minerals in exchange for protection. This would be great news and a win for Trump and hopefully end this war
"Protection"?

So all the posturing about Ukraine getting all their land back and Russia falling was BS, and you're now okay with a negotiated peace that you were opposed to before.

Almost like you don't actually have any real opinions.

So no matter the outcome you aren't going to be happy? Let's get the war over. If that takes concessions on each side then great.

This would be great news, there needs to be official guarantee though. Ukraine already gave up their nuclear weapons in exchange for assurances of their sovereignty and protection and Russia obviously backed out of that

We can’t keep letting Russia take and take and then pause then go back for more later. There needs to be more than just a “pause” and if Trump is the one that gets it done that will be great. Would be very cool for Trump to stand up firm against Russia, maybe these minerals are really what Putin is after.

LMFAO you have been one of the most pro war people here.

I told you negotiated peace was going to be the outcome years ago.

Not you're trying to tell ME concessions are the answer? Welcome to the reality I told you about a long time ago buddy.

Where have you been? I've been pro defense, pro sovereignty and in recent months have been saying rather than continue to let people get killed Ukraine needs to consider giving up the Donbas in exchange for guarantees that NATO would come to their defense if Russia attacks again. Russia needs to agree to that too and it would allow Putin to save face. What I don't want is an escalation that involves NATO and possible nuclear war if Putin is backed into a corner.

You told us years ago that Ukraine should give up because there's no way they can beat Russia.

He’s very suspectible to strong arm authoritarian governments so that makes sense, just wanting to hand over to Russia

It’s not perfect but I think that would be a reasonable conclusion. I could understand not wanting to give up their land also though. If Russia attacked us I wouldn’t be happy with them taking a couple of our states just to stop attacking us.

But at this point, giving that up for nato protection I think is a reasonable “win”, would give Putin somewhat of an “out” and gives Ukraine the protection they want and need

I think it's great that "in recent months" you've come to accept what I told you 2 years ago.

Unfortunately you and the Democrats supported the destruction of the country before you accepted that reality.

What leverage did the Ukrainians have three years ago? Two years ago? They finally got some decent weaponry and the Russians have been chewed up. No way there was going to be negotiations three years ago that didn't involve Ukraine's complete surrender. But now I'm betting Putin is looking for a way out. As is Zelensky.

It’s funny because he’s trying to argue but he’s saying exactly what you said. Basically Ukraine shouldn’t have fought back. His idea of peace deal is just letting Russia be a bully and get what they want

You’re right though, they have a lot more leverage, and Ukraine wasn’t expected to last as long as they did. Putin is losing lots of men and money. If Ukraine were to get nato protection, and the minerals that him and Trump are proposing, it seems like the most reasonable end for all sides

LMFAO
The deal was on the table.
Western nations tanked it.
We've had this discussion already.

You have been given that information and linked to the sources. You do this constantly. I don't know if it's Alzheimer's or if you're trolling.

The deal makes no sense since most of the minerals. Trump says he wants are controlled by Russia now. Russia is not giving bad land.

Notice how now these people's narrative has changed from NATO membership to NATO "protection".

These people just parrot MSM current narratives.
Not doing any such thing. I never thought NATO membership was viable because Ukraine was/is about as corrupt as they come. But I do believe in their right to defend their sovereignty. If guarantees that NATO will defend them if Russia ever attacks them again would settle this in exchange for giving up territory then fine by me. Russian separatists have been fighting in the Donbas for over 10 years and have driven most ethnic Ukrainians out anyways. Let Russia rebuild that area.
