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.

    You don’t understand. I don’t think there was a lack of votes. You have to lose your job to vote because your boss won’t let you get off work until after the polls close. That’s always been the case.

    There is an actual cheat code built into the legal system in Georgia that almost nobody knew about; a Jim Crow law that says anyone can declare anyone else in their county ineligible to vote for any or even no reason. A law meant to be used for oppressing black people fittingly was used as a tool of oppression in last year’s election. A bunch of people each declared 32,000 people per person, across several counties - and yes the victims were mostly African-Americans - ineligible to vote. They didn’t even know WHY they were ineligible until very recently. This is literally a stolen election.

      OK so we’re gonna assume that what you said is true because I don’t feel like verifying it. The Republicans were mobilized and went out of their way to suppress votes as they always do. That much is true. What were the Democrats doing? Why didn’t they stop that from happening? The Republicans were mobilized so why weren’t the Democrats just as mobilized to stop them? Here in Ohio the Republicans did everything they could to spread misinformation in order to keep gerrymandering districts but the democrats couldn’t stop the spread of misinformation.

      But I stand by what I said. The Democrats are weak because they couldn’t stop the Republicans. They need to change their strategy or continue to loose elections.

        My point is that it no longer matters. You’re not living in a democracy anymore, Trump stole his position. He is an unelected dictator. The electoral process means nothing until, at the very least, he’s forced back out of power. Worst case, democracy in the US is permanently dead and my country is on his chopping block.

        That being said, I’ll edit my post if I can confirm the thing about Georgia, for now I agree it’s only prudent to take what I’m saying with a grain of salt. Believing misinformation is what got us here in the first place, you’re right to call me into question.

          Wait you’re Canadian? Well duh, this is a server for both countries.

          So let me be clear I wasn’t trying to call you out on what happened in Georgia, I just don’t know because I don’t live there and I didn’t want to do the research. Also I think you Canadians need to focus more on Canada and divest from America. The Republicans have shown who they are and that they’ll do whatever it takes to keep and hold power. Best for the other countries to act accordingly and work amongst themselves.

          Also I am aware of the threats Trump made against Canada, Greenland, Panama, and Mexico. I would like to believe that he won’t act on it, someone in the cabinet will stop him, or the military will refuse to invade our allies but I have no faith. All I can say is good luck to you guys and I didn’t vote for him.
