What concessions would those be?
Everybody is being a bitch about this. No deal is being cut behind anybody’s back.
It makes sense that you discuss things with Putin first before bringing everybody together for negotiations.
Why?Obviously you don’t want to bring Ukraine and Russia to the table only to find out neither Putin or Zelensky is going to be rational. This is all negotiations to begin discussing negotiations.
It’s typical globalist hysteria to pretend that in a couple of weeks Trump and Putin will be announcing the end of the war without ever having a meeting with all interested parties. Nobody is cutting Ukraine out.
What is really making them sad is that they know regardless of Putin or anybody coming to the table..the gravy train is almost over.
If UK and France want to spend the type of money the US has in Ukraine to keep the war going..then they are more than welcome to do that. If Starmer and Macron think they aren’t quite unpopular enough as it is.
Russia back in G7
Ukraine not in NATO
No role in enforcing peace deal
These are major bargaining chips. You come into negotiations with leverage.
You can concede them for stuff during the negotiation process. Giving them up before it is straight retarded.
I know you're a massive Trump guy but show some objectivity here and admit that giving major concessions before negotiations even start makes America look weak and stupid.
China is looking at Russia, incapable of winning their stupid invasion... get a whole bunch of concessions before negotiations even start.
They are laughing their asses off right now. Russia doesn't have anywhere near China's Military capacity. China has 10x the economy, 10x the population, 1000x the production capacity.
China spends more on Military R&D than any country on earth.
I'm Australian. I fucking hate China.
But they're not stupid. They play the geopolitical game hard. They use the carrot and the stick and try to extend their sphere of influence and increase the size of nations accommodating to their interests. They want to be the global hegemony. Not the West.
And now they know there's a good chance in 10 years they can suck and die trying to take Taiwan and still get a whole bunch of concessions before negotiations even start.
Oh and America is starting a whole bunch of fights with her allies right now over trade, talking retarded ass invasions and massively undermining her geopolitical influence.
As a closely allied country that will follow you in which ever war you go to this is a horrible handling of the geopolitical situation.
