It appears that Trump is blackmailing Zelensky with an unfair deal. Trump is holding Zelensky and the Ukraine to ransom with an unfair deals that offers the Ukraine nothing. Zelensky was right to not sign this one sided agreement that would have enabled America to have access to rare earth minerals in the Ukraine. Trump could be viewed as extorting Zelensky and the Ukraine with a deal that offers them no security guarantees a all. Zelensky and the Ukraine don’t need a trade deal with America and it seems that America would argueably benefit from such a deal and the Ukraine no so much. So is Trump blackmaing Zelensky in some form of victim erxploitation taking advantage of the Ukraine’s predicament?
That deal amounted to pure blackmail and the arrangements offered the Ukraine no guarantees of future security against Putin. In fact they were totally worthless. The deal amounted to blackmail. For example the American workers boots on the ground holds no sway at all to prevent further Russian aggression because what is the first thing that foreign countries do to protect their citizens abroad is to tell them that they have to get out of the country quickly. Therefore there was no guarantees against further Russian aggression in that deal at all. The whole purpose was to blackmail the Ukrainian President because they find themselves in a difficult position. This is clearly a matter of victim abuse.
This is Trump and Vance trying to bully Zelensky and the Ukraine to exploit their vulnerability
The whole unprecedented snd deplorable event that took place in the Oval Room at the Whitehouse today brought shame on America watching Trump and Vance trying to bully Zelensky in an attempt to secure a one sided deal that offered the Ukrainians nothing at all. There was an expectation that Zelensky and the Ukraine should be publicly grateful to Trump and Vance when in reality Zelensky has expressed many times his gratitude to the American public and the Biden Administrations. So why should Zelensky be grateful to these 2 bullies trying to extort money from the Ukraine for nothing? No he should not because this far the only thing Trump and Vance have done is to fragment support for the Ukraine: attempt to isolate them and then blackmail them in an attempt to extort money and exploit their vulnerable position.
America you should be ashamed that you have elected such a corrupt President who appears to be in Putin’s pocket
Maybe it is time to kick America out of NATO
Due to recent events it is looking increasingly clear that America is either reluctant or unwilling to honour it’s obligations to NATO and Europe. If this be the case then maybe it’s time to kick America out of NATO. Although the Ukraine isn’t actually in NATO and has no formal obligations it would appear that standing up to Putin and protecting Europe is. Europe feels a perceived threat from Putin through Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Trump seems to be siding with Putin by refusing to acknowledge that Putin has been the aggressor in this conflict,which seems to be rather un- American. Trump also seems to be threatening trade tarrifs on NATO countries.
Why is Trump refusing to acknowledge that Putin is the aggressor in this conflict?
This deal being offered is just clearly a case of victim exploitation. He whole thing looks like blackmail and victimisation. Still Trump refuses to acknowledge that Putin I’d the aggressor in this conflict.
