Summary

According to the Telegraph, a leaked confidential Trump peace plan delivered to President Zelenskyy has caused panic in Kyiv.

The proposal would grant the U.S. half of revenues from Ukraine’s resource extraction and licensing, effectively amounting to economic colonization.

The Telegraph noted, “Trump’s demands would amount to a higher share of Ukrainian GDP than reparations imposed on Germany at the Versailles Treaty, later whittled down at the London Conference in 1921, and by the Dawes Plan in 1924.”

Simultaneously, the plan would absolve Russia for its invasion that has caused hundreds of thousands of deaths.

          The entire world betrayed Poland. The Allied powers didn’t do anything for months. Hell the British and French actually put more effort into helping Finland against the USSR than help Poland against the Third Reich.

      It would be a grand historical irony if the country that ultimately ensures Ukraine’s freedom from Russia ends up being Germany.

      “We are here to liberate you from the Russians…and this time, we really mean it!”

      I mean, you could argue they’re more like Fascist Italy. The parallel with Germany is mainly that they’re already a great power.
