Trump fucks up again. Ukraine negotiation goes sideways

[Pad_Foot]

It's hard to act properly when someone has his entire forearm up your ass.
I'm sure Trump knows he's being used, but when he's been led to believe that he can be just like Putin, how's he supposed to argue or complain about how much it hurts.
And.......it's far from hurting him. He's being treated like a GOD, and he's been making billions.
The LAW? Fuck that!! He told you it has no effect on him. He has a MANDATE of 49.8% of those who bothered to vote.
31.92% of eligible voters? A mandate to change to Amerikkka? Sure!

Unfuckingbelievable

Once again Donald Trump has revealed his ignorance and incompetence. Trump recently stated the if Russia was still in the G7 then their war with Ukraine wouldn’t have started. Sorry, Donald but the whole reason Russia was thrown out of the G8 was for invading Ukraine! Trump is absolutely clueless, he’s by far the most uneducated, ignorant and illiterate president in US history and he’s embarrassing our nation.

Trump has completely abdicated from the USA's role as leader of the free world.

He's burned the USA's former friends and allies, reneged on the agreement the USA signed with Ukraine to strip Ukraine of its nukes, he's refused to sell Ukraone Patriots to defend it's cities and now he's aiding and abetting the mass murder of civilians in return for some hypotheical trade deals that will never eventuate.

Trump, Rubio and Vance have their hands deep in blood to the elbows

Lies. Trump's many, beautiful lies told over and over...

Trump Debunked

Trump’s latest senile rant about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

• He pretends he hasn’t supported Putin all along: Putin is crazy
• Zelenskyy criticized Trump’s silence, so Trump lashed out at him: “Everything out of his mouth causes problems, I don’t like it, and it better stop.” Poor Donnie’s feelings were hurt.
• Blames Zelenskyy and Biden for Russia’s invasion. Again.
• Pretends he never said that only he can end the war and that he’d end it on day one.

Wait. Are Russia and Ukraine still fighting? That has to be fake news. Trump said he would end the fighting in one day.

President TACO and Putin want to talk business once the Ukraine war ends. Here's why it won't be easy​

Basically, Trump is fantasizing about big trade deals with Russian "after the war." By the time the war is over, Russia will be destroyed economically, with their oil industry and much of their industry in ruins. Ukraine's campaign is only just starting - thousands of cruise missiles and millions of drones will be coming off Urainian production lines over 2025, and many of those will be targeting Russian industry. Russia has confiscated the assets of the western companies that pulled out of Russia and they are unlikely to go back. The future risk is far too high. Russia’s actions and legal changes have left “long-lasting damage” to its business environment.

In a meeting at the Kremlin on May 26 to mark Russian Entrepreneurs Day, Putin said that Russia needed to throttle large tech firms such as Zoom and Microsoft, which had restricted their services in Russia after Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, so that domestic tech companies could thrive instead. “We need to strangle them,” Putin said. “After all, they are trying to strangle us: we need to reciprocate. We didn’t kick anyone out; we didn’t interfere with anyone. We provided the most favorable conditions possible for their work here, in our market, and they are trying to strangle us.” He reassured a representative from Vkusno-i Tochka (Tasty-period) — the Russian-owned company that took over McDonald’s restaurants in the country — that Moscow would aid them if the U.S. fast food giant tried to buy back its former stores.

Asked for comment, McDonald’s referred to their 2022 statement that “ownership of the business in Russia is no longer tenable.”

“Russia has one of the lowest projected long-term growth rates and one of the highest levels of country risk in the world,” says Heli Simola, senior economist at the Bank of Finland in a blog post. “Only Belarus offers an equally lousy combination of growth and risk.” Most of the opportunity to make money is related to military production, and it’s unlikely U.S. companies would work with the Russian military-industrial complex, said Ribakova. “It’s not clear where exactly one could plug in and expect outsize returns that would compensate for this negative investment environment.” Multinational oil companies were among those who suffered losses leaving Russia, so it’s an open question whether they would want to try again even given Russia’s vast oil and gas reserves. US.. major ExxonMobil saw its stake in the Sakhalin oil project unilaterally terminated and wrote off $3.4 billion.

There's really not much upside in trade and deals with Russia. Even if U.S. sanctions are dropped, EU sanctions would continue to present compliance headaches for any company that also wants to do business in Europe.

Which begs the question. Why is Trump fantasizing about huge deals with a country that is one of the most corrupt on earth, an example of kleptocracy to us all, with it's economy heading for ruin and its people outside of Moscow and St Petersburg mired in what amounts to third world poverty? It's an economy the size of California. What does Trump see that the rest of the world does not? Sure, there are sales to be made to Russia, perhaps funded by resource extraction, largely oil, but by the time Ukraine has finished working the Russian oil industry over, it'll take a decade to rebuild, and it won't be western companies that do it.
