US security guarantees and western troops in Ukraine, huh? MAGA isn’t going to like that. On a serious note, if we land at a real, enforceable security guarantee, that will exceed every expectation I had for Trump ending the war in an equitable way. We’ll see.

Trump and Putin reportedly agreed on a potential land transfer deal involving Ukraine ceding some territory to Russia, including parts of Donbas. However, this agreement would require Ukrainian approval, and President Zelensky has strongly opposed any concessions of unoccupied territory.

This "deal" is equivalent to Mexico promising not to invade the US in exchange for the US giving Mexico most of southern Texas, Arizona and New Mexico (all land that once belonged to Mexico and which has a large Spanish-speaking population). Do you think Trump would think that's a good deal?
