Summary
Germany’s defense minister, Boris Pistorius, criticized the U.S. for making concessions to Russia before peace talks, particularly ruling out NATO membership for Ukraine and accepting territorial losses.
His concerns were echoed by France’s defense minister, Sébastien Lecornu.
Trump’s recent call with Putin sparked European opposition, with key nations reaffirming their support for Ukraine’s sovereignty.
The Kremlin welcomed Trump’s stance, while Ukraine maintained its NATO aspirations.
There is no benefit to Ukraine to agree to this. Any treaty signed in which Ukraine gives up territory and is prevented from seeking out defensive treaties will result in Russia rearming and attacking again.
This happened in 2014 with Crimea. Everyone said to let Russia have it and they’ll be happy. They weren’t. They attacked again. Now people are saying to let Russia have it and they’ll be happy. They won’t be.
We also tried appeasement with Hitler and it didn’t work. Do people just not read history books anymore? It’s wild how ignorant these fools are
