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.

"You can negotiate with Putin without giving him a one-on-one summit with POTUS on American soil."

I've only read a few snippets of this thread, so apologies if this has already been covered:
Why would Ukraine trust any agreement made between Trump and Putin ?
Putin has totally disdained Peace Pacts before. Ukraine is well aware of that.
Trump breaks trade agreements like it's nothing. Trump breeches contracts like
they didn't exist.
Didn't the US and Russia agree that if Ukraine gave up their nukes, then the US and
Russia would guarantee Ukraine's safety ?? What the hell happened to that ??

So now Ukraine, and Europe, are going to abide by any agreement reached between Trump
and Putin, despite their proven history of breaking contracts.
Sounds pretty farfetched to me.

"Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons after the collapse of the Soviet Union. In 1994, Ukraine agreed to transfer all remaining nuclear warheads to Russia in exchange for security assurances from the United States, the United Kingdom, and Russia, formalized in the Budapest Memorandum. "
