The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Which is why the correct strategy for opponents of Russia - if they want to maximize Ukraine's negotiating position - albaby

----------------

We were talking about how Ukraine could respond to Russian aggression that might occur at some point in yje future after the peace deal had already been reached.

With your statement above you have shifted the time frame to Ukraine's enhancing negotiating position prior to finalizing a peace deal. As someone pointed out (it probably was you since it made sense) Trumps economic partnership over minerals would provide insufficient deterrence to the Ruskies. I agree with that assessment and so does Zelensky who rightly rejected the "minerals only deal now, security later" plan offered by Trump. What I can't figure out is why would Zelensky use the Oval Office event to raise that objection in public.
