But Thursday is we think is an appropriate time,” Trump told Fox News Radio’s The Brian Kilmeade Show on Friday. |  |

Glad you agree and see that appeasing Putin makes that very likely indeed. |  |

Appalling. The guarantee is simply that when Russia invaded, this deal goes. Nothing to actually deter. And forced elections in a sovereign state which is democratic. And no mention of the kidnapped children or an ability for people in the annexed states to escape to other parts of Ukraine if they choose... |  | |  |

Trump is poison really but here we have a country of over 300 million who voted for him. His in bed with Putin maybe Vlad knows more about Trump than we all know. Like a certain ex Prince I'm reasonably confident there is more regards Epstein. As for Israel and the killing of thousands of innocent people that's another story. . |  | |  |

And still no recognition that a sovereign country was invaded by another for no other reason than it exists. No recognition that US, U.K. and Russia guaranteed its borders in exchange for giving up its nuclear stockpile. Now it’s being told to give up its defence too on the basis that two of the three countries that guaranteed its borders before will guarantee the remaining rump’s sovereignty, the third country (U.K.) doesn’t matter. . |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

Quite. The bit about being invaded and Russia being the hostile party seems to get forgotten. It would be nice if we publicly had Ukraine’s back if they tell Trump to do one; but maybe I’m being a bit too optimistic about our spineless govt. |  |

The trouble is we can neither defend ourselves or meet NATO commitments let alone support or influence what happens to Ukraine. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/nov/19/uk-lacks-plan-to-defend-itself- No government has been interested in defence beyond tapping its budget for other purposes since the Berlin Wall fell. They’re not now. Some vague promise it might be 3% if economic conditions allow (fat chance) by 3034 is really not taking it seriously. And Russia knows it hence interference with borders, tech, spying, bribing politicians, you name it. Ukraine merited and needed European support. Europe needed to do it too because it’s vulnerable to a lot worse than interference from rogue states Russia, US and China. But after nearly four years of war and a year of Trump, most of Europe still doesn’t get it. So while Starmer will shake Zelenski’s hand, look a little grave in his paid for suit and send him an Arsenal Christmas Card, he and the government don’t have Ukraine’s back. We don’t even have our own back. Spineless government ans you say and I don’t suppose most of the rest of Europe is much better. |  | |  |

Points 13 and 14 should have been reduced to, there will be a carve up... 13. Russia will be reintegrated into the global economy: The lifting of sanctions will be discussed and agreed upon in stages and on a case-by-case basis. The US will enter into a long-term economic cooperation agreement for mutual development in the areas of energy, natural resources, infrastructure, artificial intelligence, data centres, rare earth metal extraction projects in the Arctic, and other mutually beneficial corporate opportunities. Russia will be invited to rejoin the G8. 14. Frozen funds will be used as follows: $100bn in frozen Russian assets will be invested in US-led efforts to rebuild and invest in Ukraine; The US will receive 50 percent of the profits from this venture. Europe will add $100bn to increase the amount of investment available for Ukraine’s reconstruction. Frozen European funds will be unfrozen. The remainder of the frozen Russian funds will be invested in a separate US-Russian investment vehicle that will implement joint projects in specific areas. This fund will be aimed at strengthening relations and increasing common interests to create a strong incentive not to return to conflict. |  |

In not unrelated news... House passes symbolic resolution to denounce 'horrors of socialism' ahead of Mamdani meeting at the White House Earlier today, in a 285-98 vote, the US House of Representatives passed a resolution to denounce the “horrors of socialism”. All Republicans voted for the measure, and they were joined by 86 Democrats. The symbolic vote took place ahead of a White House meeting between Donald Trump and New York mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. “This is a moral vote against an ideology that has destroyed millions and millions of families,” congresswoman Maria Salazar of Florida said on the House floor today. “Unfortunately, socialism and Marxism crushes the human soul. And it’s not just my community in Miami. It’s the rest of the hemisphere and the rest of the world.” |  |
