weirdly the yanks pulled almost the same fucking thing in Ukraine that they did to Britain, squashed early peace talks to play out the war and then use the losses of the players to their own benefit. FDR reclassified the wartime support as loans and then called them in at the end of the war, when before Britain had the understanding that they were loans in name only to appeal to internal entities and amounted to the same support as before, which is what led to our post war debt which destroyed the empire.
the yanks have done the same thing to Ukraine, they squashed early peace talks (which likely would’ve resulted in the same result as the war itself) then weakened both Russia military (so they could test new tactics on a peer adversary) and Ukraine’s econ and population, to then propose this deal where the US carves out their material resources.
bit of a simplification but it tracks.

Realistically if the Dutch annexed Clacton they would be doing us a favour.

Perhaps Ukraine should simply be awarded a comparable portion of the USA. Let’s see what Trump/Vance think of that.

One thing people don’t talk about enough with regard to this is that any Ukrainien stuck in land given to Russia will be genocided, like Ukrainiens stuck in Russian occupied land are being genocided right now. Ukraine wouldn’t just be giving land, but would be giving up on people’s lives.

Clacton-on-Sea. In fact, we don’t even need a war. Can we just give anyone Clacton? We’d even pay them

You drive a hard bargain Mr Putin. I guess we have no choice but to give up the majestic Birmingham. I’ve heard nothing but great things about the place, it will certainly be a great loss
