Yea but couldv'e kept those without even having a deal. Just seems like there's got to be more we are giving them for Zelensky to do a complete turn around from being completely against the deal to signing it.

He trusted euros to do something. All they did was talk something.
US offered something real.
My guess.

The past deal had them paying us $500 Billion, the new deal has them putting money in a fund that gets invested back into Ukraine.
Basically, the new deal as of now seems to only benefit them, in which case there’s no reason not to sign.

I'm not sure you grasp what the term 50% means
quote:
The Government of the United States of America intends to provide a long-term financial commitment to the development of a stable and economically prosperous Ukraine," the draft says.
* It adds that the fund will be designed "so as to invest in projects in Ukraine and attract investments to increase development," including in areas like mining and ports.
* But it also suggests the U.S. will recoup some of its expenditures related to "defending, reconstructing, and returning Ukraine" to its pre-war GDP.
* Ukranian spokesperson said that they can attract American investors to develop their natural resources, it will be highly beneficial for the country's economy. We will get technologies that our mining industry lacks so much, We will get capital. That means more jobs, tax payments. We'll receive revenue from the development of mineral deposits."
So 50% goes into this fund, that then is used to pay US companies, and the Corp of Engineers, etc. to rebuild Ukraine. For many years to come

That made me think, I wonder how Trump gets mad?
Does he scream or just look at you with those eyes that your Mom and Dad gave you as a kid and you know you are up the creek without a paddle!

Possibly, I guess, but at a certain point Ukraine has no money left to invest in the development of those resources. Who foots the bill then?
That depends. Are we electing more Joe Bidens?

Well, that should pretty much guarantee their security.

Trump needs to pull out a piano for him to sign it on

Great for the SWF. Good deal for Ukraine as well, they get security, guaranteed US investment in their rebuild, and Trumps favor in his negation with Russia
They should now go demand Germany pay up for decades of under spending on defense. If we do this to every leech, we could have a surplus

For you business types, go in there and start prospecting and mining.

As part of the deal, it's Kiev again, right?
