#1 According to insiders, US President Donald Trump has received an attractive offer from Russian President Vladimir Putin: Putin will be given the whole of Ukraine, while the US will receive Canada and Greenland in return.

“That's the art of the deal,” Trump is said to have proudly declared to insiders after the phone call with Putin. ”Greenland and Canada together have over 12 million square kilometers, while Ukraine has only 600,000 square kilometers.”
The deal is to be finalized as agreed next week: after Russia has brought the entire territory of Ukraine under its control by Tuesday evening at the latest, Greenland and Canada are to open their borders to US soldiers within 24 hours at Putin's behest.
The only thing still being negotiated is whether Putin will throw in the Panama Canal as a bonus or not.

#4 I think the meaning of EC's comment is that Trump has no authority to hand Ukraine over to Putin. That's true, of course. But without American money and weapons, nobody else, not even Starmer, will have much to say about it.

#5 Historical note - the leader of South Korea refused to sign the cease fire agreement. Of course his military were totally dependent upon US/UN contributions.
