“I think we’re on the way to peace with Russia and Ukraine,” United States President Donald Trump told reporters on Wednesday in the Oval Office, adding, however, that it is unlikely that Ukraine will get all its land back. He further detailed that he will likely meet his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Saudi Arabia for the first time, with the involvement of the Saudi Crown Prince. He shared that Putin told him he wanted to see the war end and not go back to it “six months later.” On the question of Ukraine joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the US head of state commented that he doesn’t think “it’s practical” for Kiev to have a NATO membership. When asked whether he sees Ukraine as an equal member in the peace process, Trump didn’t give a straight answer and only stated that “they have to make peace.”
Nick Note: As expected trump has forced a peace deal in the Ukraine. And our oil trade obviously envisioned such an event and traded accordingly. You should have another smile on your face. My comment on the deal is it’s not a good one for the Ukraine or Europe. Its one of these slamma Bamma Jamma. Make a deal, get a headline and run. Look Ukraine lost the war. We’re now arranging their terms of their surrender and they’re not surrendering under very good terms. They really lost years ago when they foolishly gave up their nukes. They will pay the price today because they are going to lose a lot of territory and wealth. They are not going to get NATO membership. Not now not ever. The best Ukraine can hope for is some backhanded agreement of some loosely defined protection from another Russian incursion. And it gets worse. Because of war debt Ukraine assets will be divided up between Russia, Europe and he US. Ukraine’s resource will be sliced and diced. You’re talking about the oil and offshore natural gas. Agricultural resources for Europe from the great planes, You have a lot of a rare Earth minerals. Oil is automatically taken by the capture of key territories that Russia’s so cleverly grabbed. The breadbasket of the great plains of the Ukraine will be taken by the Europeans. And America has taken the rights to the rare earth minerals especially lithium. It’s basically a surrender under the worst possible terms. And I’m not even sure that Ukraine will exist for another 10 years as a free from Russia country. I think it’s going continue to be sliced and diced…… anyway it’s what they call peace
