Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Monday that Ukraine would have to make concessions over land that Russia had taken since 2014 as part of any agreement to end the war.
Mr. Rubio spoke as he was flying to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, for talks with senior Ukrainian officials, and 10 days after a contentious White House meeting between President Trump and his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky. The Trump administration halted military aid to Ukraine after the blowup, which centered on Mr. Trump’s refusal to include any security guarantees in a proposed deal involving Ukraine’s natural resources.

Since apparently countries can negotiate on behalf of other countries, I propose Ukraine cedes Alaska and Hawaii to Russia in exchange for getting its territory back. If Russia drives an hard bargain I would even give them back Fort Ross, California.
And don’t forget that the US must say, “Thank you.”
Also, who is bringing the suit and tie?
Have you thanked elin today?

Rubio is telling every other country that if they want a piece of America, all they have to do is invade and he’ll be happy to give up some land.
Perhaps since Rubio represents a country which does not border Ukraine, doesn’t really trade with Ukraine, and is not supporting Ukraine with its military, he should STFU. As a matter of fact, why is he even involved? I don’t see Australia or Brazil “heading to talks with Ukrainian officials in Saudi Arabia”.
Russia’s economy is a war time economy. Everything is transitioned over to war. Even if Russia got everything it demanded today, the war would not end. Why? Because Russia is not prepared and is not willing to dismantle their war-time economy and switch it back to a normal peace-time economy.
Russia is obviously untrustworthy as they break deals and promises all the time (which is how we are here, in war right now). But even if Russia was trustworthy, any peace accord that does not include a roadmap for Russia to renormalize their economy would be a temporary ceasefire at best.
Amazing how far a 3.6% GDP country can get with Assets, Sharp Power, and Chekist attitude alone.
Rubio is a jellyfish. What a coward.
Making a peace deal right now equals to have Putin’s Russia win the war. This is not acceptable. We have to keep supporting Ukraine and prepare for war against Russia, without the US. Trump and his sbires are going to continue to be insufferable day after day, let’s cut them out of the discussions and focus. Democracy and freedom are under attack in Europe, this is what we have to worry about.
