  2. > “We should also do joint projects, including, for example, in the Arctic and other areas. Joint projects will allow us to be more successful,” Dmitriev added.

    At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised in a joint Russo-american invasion to Greenland…

  3. Trump is going to forget that the US is supposed to be imposing sanctions on Russia. He’ll be sending them weapons next.

  4. every day it passes we’re seeing more and more what the actual plan of these two is (meaning trump and putin). I’m sure in a few years it’ll be obvious for everyone.

    It’s amazing the hardcore change in US in going from full anti-russian to this, I’m sure that if we survive long enough the upcoming years this will be studied like the 1st and 2nd world war as a reeeally bad example of despotism and dictatorship.

    It’s horrible the state of the world right now, and I don’t wanna sound pedantic, but it is interesting how everything unfolds.

  5. They’re alienating every friend we have so that no one comes to help us when they unleash the armed militias they have carefully cultivated and protected the last eight years.

  6. Asks for natural resources, is denied, suddenly gets access to another similar deal. Sounds like they sold out Ukraine either way.

  7. So trumps plan was to piss off long time friends and democratic neighbours that have resources and access to the arctic, to cozy up to a long time authoritarian enemy that has window problems… to get access to arctic and resources?

    Does Trump not realize that companies mine resources and companies extract oil. Good luck getting companies to do joint projects in the arctic with Russia.

  8. Think of the trillions of dollars the US has pumped into its military since WWII, totally predicated on countering the Russians and being able to fight a war on two fronts.

    In the space of a month, they’ve decided to completely sell out their entire identity for the whims of a mentally deficient old man who wants to pad his ego one last time before he dies.

  9. So give Russia the best it could get from Ukraine. And also US tech to exploit resources. All while messing up trade with every ally?

    Trump really is the best negotiator. No one could have fucked the US harder in just one month.

  10. Access to the Artic? Don’t we have access to the Arctic already ? we have subs going through that area as well as research stations up there.

  11. I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again. If last year in the summer you would’ve told me it would end up being the world against the U.S.A & Russia in WW3 I would’ve laughed in your face and walked away. It’s just sad that’s what it’s coming to

  12. Does not surprise me nor anyone else for that matter. It’s a pattern.

  13. Ukraine should attack the Russia’s oil and gas fields directly, not just the refineries anymore, destroy their resources at their source, then they won’t have any gas or oil to make a deal with.

  14. America’s standing in this world has been destroyed for a pretence that it’ll be given some trinkets in the future…

  15. lol I so called it. Just the other day when it became clear trump was rushing to end russia’s war, that he had some sort of backdoor deal going on. And now we have this. trump doesn’t give a damn about ending the war because of what is happening. He is solely focused on trying to make a profit and buddy-up with russia.

    Really sad to see how weak the US is becoming.

  16. Good god! Trump is going to go down as the greatest disaster to ever befall America. Suddenly, all of America’s allies are worthless in favour of belligerent dictator who would watch the world burn if he couldn’t have it.

    It’s Stalin and Hitler all over again and this time, America is **NOT** one of the good guys.

  17. they literally cannot get their gas flowing again without us companies selling them equipment.

  18. There’s the plot.

    USA gives Ukraine to Russia.

    Russia helps US liberate those oppressed Canadians and Danes! (In the Arctic)

  19. I hope Ukraine blows up every piece of American oil company in RU

  21. As someone who believes in America first, a shithole third world country like Russia has nothing to offer us.

  22. So both Trump and Putin get backhanders. Price of oil going up.

  24. A deal with Russia isn’t even worth the paper it’s written on.

  25. Russia does not own the artic- this does not make sense

  26. Making a deal with a country with a GDP less tha NY.

    Bravo Nazi Trump.

  27. Imagine if Biden was making deals with Russia. His opposers would storm the capital and articles of impeachment would be drawn up same day. This is the kind of a response that we need to do to this current administration.

  28. this is why they say nothing lasts forever

    The strongest nation for past decades now disassembled by a russian asset and his low education cult members

  30. I really hope the Trump administration doesn’t fall for this. Remember the reset button? Yeah. putin has no intention of living up to any deal. Once they get stable again and have reserves built up, they will steal the assets from US companies and start invading other countries again.

  31. This does not surprise me. I was wondering if something like this was in the works. Trump needs resources and Russia needs a market. Russia also needs a warm water port to move said resources hence Ukraine.

  32. The USA only has Alaska. The rest is Canadian.

    ChaChing! Wanna come through Canada? $$$$$$

  34. Time for Ukraine to quietly back channel a deal with China.

  35. Only seems fair they finally give us something, we’ve given them control of the US presidency.

  36. So it’s not even about Ukraine, it’s Trump using the invasion to make a sweet deal for the US.

    Democracy has truly fallen…

  37. “Access to Arctic” as if access to the Arctic was Russia’s to give in the first place. Is this how they convince Trump? They act as if they own something and then offer ownership to the US as a part of their deals?

  38. « Yet, following talks between the U.S. and Russian delegations, Rubio suggested that lifting sanctions against Russia would be part of any peace process, saying that “concessions” would have to be made by “all sides” to bring an end to “any conflict.” »

    What’s Russia’s concession ?

  39. Look at that trio of dimwitted shysters. Sad to see what has happened to America.

  40. So he wants the arctic for the security of the US…from Russia…by giving in to….Russia. Now that’s definitely a deal, the dumbest deal of the century.

  41. Papa putin offering treats to little russia, formerly USA

  42. the problem with deals with Russia is that Russia has a very poor history of honoring deals.

  43. My only question is, when are Americans going to start doing something about this?
    Each day it gets worse

  44. It feels like they’re just dividing the entire world up between themselves

  45. Y’all really fought a cold war for the better part of a century to export ‘American values’, just to throw it all away in 3 months.

    Honestly don’t understand how republicans – who are supposed to double down on patriotism – are happy about this.
