Trump Wants to Take Over Ukraine’s Nuc1ear Plants. What Would That Mean? The White House said taking ownership of Ukrainian plants would give them the “best protection.” The idea surprised officials and energy experts in Kyiv. “I expect there would be great resistance to this idea in Ukraine.”

1. Any Trumper in here care to bend over backwards and explain why this is a tremendous and beautiful idea. Y’all are quiet lately.

2. And then they will extort Ukraine for power

3. it would only then be protection if the US committed to protecting those assets.

   as every US ally around the world now knows, centuries of friendship are worth nothing if some random dictator waves with a wad of cash at the current admin

   “wants to take over” implies “and then sells to highest bidder” here.

4. If I were any other country than the US I would stay as far away from the US as possible right now. I keep expecting to wake up to either a full on recession/depression, war, civil war, revolutionary war, assassinations, nukes…you just don’t know right now. I’ve never been more on edge in my life. Same goes for those f35s. Just get something else somewhere else. It’s not worth the risk.

5. It’s a trap! But really though.

6. The same US who has repeatedly suspended military aid to Ukraine based on the whims of Trump wants Ukraine to trust them with their energy grid? I’d give it a week before he threatens to turn off power because they didn’t say thank you.

7. Is that so that he can hold them to ransom over their power? Also he could turn them off and get them to use all of his clean coal?

8. It’s about control that they’ll never really relinquish. Get a stranglehold on a country’s critical infrastructure…

9. This seems like it might be a backdoor way to prevent/slow down Ukraine’s acquiring nukes after the war.

10. With Trump it could mean a few things, but to risk being the glass half full guy, it would mean that if anyone hurts that power production, it would give the US the right to strike back. Same for us sending/using any thing on their land. Russia would be force NOT to target those locations and if they did, would enter US into the war on grounds that they attacked us first. A few countries do this already but in different ways. So in one way it protects the thing Ukraine needs in terms of getting the lights going, but it also means, Ukraine had to give up something it kind of needs. Now, would Trump use it as a pawn? More than likely either side.. just dont know how he would play it out.

11. He just wants to profit on Europe. Whatever deal he comes up with say no and ask EU.

12. He knows this angle keeps him in the media hype cycle and promotes him as actually being significant in the negotiations..

13. He has no idea he just wants to say shit

14. Maybe protection from Russia but surely total country dependence on USA.

15. “Hey, I realize I’ve been trying to fuck your country over for the past number of years and am marching in political lockstep with the country that invaded you, but how about I take over your power plants?” 😂😂😂😂

16. Could trump simply sell these plant to russia later?

17. Doge will later say it’s more efficient for Russia to run them and cut off US funding.

18. I am sure Trump would not use this as leverage to dictate things same way as Elon did with Starlink

19. It means Trump can just turn off the power in a fit of pique. I advise them not to agree

20. I suspect the answer would be Molon Labe

21. When man babies sippy cup gets tipped over he will just pull the plug on his new kingdom and that will make him gleeful again.

22. He is just itching to take over something so he can say to other dictators look what I did. I’m powerful too. It’s all ego.

23. Don’t let him. He surely does not have the Ukraine people’s best interest at heart.

24. Sure!!  Obviously NATO troops and bases would be required to defend the Americans running the plants from “little green men” attacks by Ukrainian separatists.  Right?  Any weapons launched in proximity to our troops would be unprovoked war by Russia. Right?  

    We would really need NATO troops all over Ukraine to protect the electric grid which if damaged would destabilize the plants.

25. Well, knowing the orange shitstain, it would mean that immediately after taking ownership the cost of electricity will skyrocket for UKRANIANS 😳

    That’s how the clown operates. He want’s to think of himself as a jew but he’s very stupid on making deals.

26. Russia takes one chunk of the land, USA takes the resources of the other chunk. Ukranians are left to bury the dead in the ground they dont own anymore.

27. It would only make sense if Putin feared Trump, clearly not the case,

28. As Putin controls frump, its window dressing at best

29. Does anyone else get the sense that Trump is intentionally offering bad options to resolve the Ukraine war so he can use the outcome as a pretext for abandoning the American support for Ukraine?

    It seems like a matter of time until Trump pushes for Ukrainian surrender.

30. American boots on the ground protecting high value targets.

    it could only end one way the death of an American civilian or serviceman by a Russian attack would demand an escalation and protect Ukraine

31. Just wait until Trump orders them to make weapons grade uranium and then sell it to Russia
