Fool me once, shame on me, fool me 20 times and I should sign away half my country's mineral wealth for no guarantees and no gains...

So what’s the alternative?

Edit: looks like there wasn’t an alternative despiteso many people beating their chests that there is 🤷‍♂️

Can you really not imagine an alternative?

I can’t believe that my point was proven in just a couple of days: https://www.rferl.org/a/trump-congress-ukraine-russia-war-tariffs-speech/33336730.html

Your point hasn’t been proven. OPs point was that Putin promises can’t be trusted. And without US putting force behind that promise, Ukraine is wise to be worried about such a deal.

Just because one alternative realized doesn’t mean there weren’t other options, better or worse.

Edit: plus, a peace deal is far from done, regardless which side you root for.
