I will not lay claim to the British isles. All peace will cost is 100 dollars and a small fiefdom comprising approximately 20% of the UK.
At least until you have time to build up your military again.
Yeah, this is "we just want these as staging areas for our next invasion after we rebuild our war fighting capabilities".
How generous /s
Ukraine should not have signed the minerals deal with the US. Now, they're likely going to be fucked in more than 1 ways.
What is a piece of paper worth in this Age.
The Americans have just pissed on a lot of international trade agreements, and have had a soft stance of 'rules for thee, but not for me', for the whole post war period. The Russians, don't stand by anything it seems. China has simply ignored their international trade agreements at times.
The planet turns, power fluctuates. Ukraine might not always be so reliant on the USA as it is. And the interests of their next partners may be far more closely aligned.
The worlds rules are changing as we speak. No idea where it ends up, it largely depends on the decisions of many national leaders, but i'm certain agreements made between countries in this time, means less, and is less enforceable than they were a decade or more ago.
In addition to other comments, the Russian Federation has violated about 400 international treaties since 2014. It is baseless what Moscow 'may be willing' to do. Putin will continue building up the army and attack the next country.
The benefit since 2014, is that Europe has finally woken up to Russia.
oh how fucking magnanimous of them. as a gracious gesture, i will stop claiming Virginia should possess the territories in russia it doesn't currently occupy
That's nice how about them security guarantees tho
They better start forking over cash, they fucked up bigly.
