US is fatal even for itself

Going to start threatening to bomb Texas if it doesn't hand over its oil reserves, at this rate.

Current likelihood is that there's only a mineral deal if US pays Zelensky/Ukraine to fight more. Security guarantees don't actually cost anything until you have to do something, and its pretty likely that any weapons would be used to provoke aggression during ceasefire instead of protecting Ukraine's neutrality.

It's Europe that wants war more than US, and so it's far more likely they get the mineral deal to keep going to the last Ukrainian.

Funny wojak faces but to clear up an apparent misconception here, Ukrainian weren't fighting for abstract concepts like "freedom" and Democracy", they were fighting to stop Russian soldiers from killing their families, raping their children, and burning their homes to the ground.

I hope this helps!

Ukrainians were/are still fighting to defend themselves from an illegal invasion. But America sees and has always seen Ukraine as a proxy to weaken a geo-strategic rival. NATO was not realistically on the table as long as the conflict in the Donbas was ongoing (it would have immediately triggered art.5) to keep promising NATO instead of working on a more realistic path to peace has probably caused the death of 100000s of Ukrainians. And just as with many other imperial proxies in history, the proxy is left to deal with the fallout while the empire retreats to the metropol and prepares for the next conflict.

history truly is a flat circle

This image is almost 3 years old already lmao.

If any libs want to learn how tankies see the future you might want to read about the past for once. Pop history doesn't count.

That's the kicker, Leftists are correct far more often than liberals yet libs never put 2 and 2 together.
