Trump: No promise of back-up in Ukraine

 RUSSIA U.S. DEAL MOVING FORWARD

EU AND UKRAINE BETTER START TALKING TO PUTIN

Yesterday's meeting in Washington with Keir Starmer was clear, no U.S. troops in Ukraine and no U.S. backup for European troops in Ukraine. That indicates that Trump intends to pursue normalized relations with Russia and if the EU wants to prolong the war, they are on their own. It is unlikely that the EU has the wherewithal or the resolve to go to war with Russia and Trump is leary of getting baited into sending U.S. troops to Ukraine. 

Starmer says the U.K. is all in for sending U.K. troops and planes to Ukraine, we will see, with a combined military of less than 80,000, they would last about 3 weeks in Ukraine. It is clear, the U.S. is out of the Ukraine project and without the U.S. it is a dead project. 

Zelensky comes today to sign the so called mineral rights deal, without any security guarantees from Washington. Trump considers it payment for former support, not future support.

Geologists have been rumored to believe the mineral wealth of Ukraine is much exaggerated and may have been just Zelinsky's so much bait to encourage the continued support of the west.

Putin also scoffed at Ukraine's mineral claims, and stated that Russia really did have all those minerals and would be willing to sell the west as much as they want.

It seems there is some distast with buying resources, rather than owning or controlling them. The mideast nations have always been willing to sell THEIR resources at market prices without discrimination, yet we always hear about controlling those resources.

The world is at a crossroads, is it going to be WW3 or a new era of mutual respect, cooperation and co-existance, it should be an easy choice.
