Trump stands firm on Ukraine, dismisses Starmer''s warning on Putin

[GEO.TV] US President Donald Trump
...Never got invited to a P.Diddy party...
has dismissed British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's call for greater American military support for Ukraine, insisting instead that a minerals deal with Kyiv is the key to ensuring its security against Russia.

Starmer, who was meeting Trump at the White House for the first time since the US leader started his second term, turned on the charm, saying peace in Ukraine had only become possible because of Trump.

In the Oval Office, Starmer handed a letter of invitation from King Chuck

...King of England, Scotland, Ireland -- at least part of it -- Wales, Gibraltar, the Falkland Islands, and places like that. The first King Chuck had his head chopped off, the second one was Good Time Charlie. The third once wanted to be a tampon and thinks we'll all be extinct within the next seven years...
for a state visit. Trump accepted. A date has not been set.

But underlying differences between the allies remained on the table for the private conversation that followed. They include transatlantic frictions over US-Russia talks aimed at ending the Ukraine war.

Before the meeting, Starmer had argued that there could be no long-term peace in Ukraine without firm US security guarantees — an argument Trump all but dismissed.

''We are a backstop because we'll be over there, we'll be working,'' as a result of the economic partnership, Trump said. ''We're going to have a lot of people over there.''

#1 Careful. Starmertrooper policy is to arrest people who make remarks unapproved by London even if they are visiting and made said remarks when in their home country.

#2 This is a link to Russia's public official demands from the US and NATO. They go far beyond Ukraine and Europe.

Trump and all other Western leaders should come clear about their position vis-a-vis Russia.

The saying goes that Japan is a screwdriver's turn away from the bomb.

If that is true for Japan, and maybe others, now would be an excellent to to turn that screwdriver, lest they want to be screwed..
