Some russki oligarch will hold a stash of bitcoin at the fat orange imbecile and Ukraine's out the window.

They want something from him and they will have to pay out the nose for it.

Then he will screw over both sides.

Territory, minerals, etc.
He'll MAYBE extract promises form Putin which won't be kept.
Trump is not running this. Putin is.

Not the fake TV stunts.

Yes Trump will extract something from both sides.

Making any deal with this slimeball is going to backfire on you spectacularly.

Just read some history on the subject.

We see how that's worked.

trump, "considering," on providing protection for more years, like Zelensky wants, is crap. Its not up to him, and if it was Putin asking, it would be shoved down Ukraine's throat.

Zelensky asks, Putin demands.

The problem, of course, is that Zelenskyy asks, Putin demands, and Trump kowtows.

He has to go through the motions. He is buying time. While Europe arms enough to help and while Ukrainian drones keep getting better. Hoping to survive until the US gets rid of Trump. Making it as hard as possible for Trump politicallly to completely desert Ukraine or publicly allly himself with Putin. Zelensky is smarter than the rest of us.

... agree to anything unenforceable and nothing meaningful. He will also tell The Donald how handsome he is, and how much he deserves a Peace Award for all his hard work.

Sir we are into our second year with this one. There are no guarantees. Even the citizens here do not know what their future brings. I suggest you form an alliance with a more stable, trustworthy group. Stay safe. Your bravery and commitment to your people and country is a thing of beauty and strength. I am sorry that the T administration treats you with such disdain. You deserved better.

He doesn’t follow laws and financial allocations from Congress. Who would ever trust that the US will make good on security guarantees?

would be for it to be a formal treaty ratified by the Senate.

And even then, there's a good chance we'd still refuse to help if Russia attacks at some point in the future.

Wasn't Ukraine given a guarantee from Russia some years ago? And how did that turn out?

We already have a security agreement with them, the Budapest Memorandum, we refused to honor it.
Unfortunately, that wasn't even Mango Mussolini but he also refused to honor it.

Russia advances into Ukraine and Trump will be an adversary of Putin?

It is called the Budapest Memorandum. How about the US and Russia just honor what was already agreed upon when Ukraine gave up its nukes.

Didn't we already have a treaty with them to protect them if they removed their nuclear weapons?

We didn't honor that agreement either.

Combined with creating a delivery system. Because trusting Trump and the GOP would be beyond stupid.

It's just so hard to choose.
