Should the US have a stake in Ukraine’s natural resources as reimbursement for wartime support? Should we demand similar of Israel? Taiwan? NATO?

[DrPepper12]

Yes. Ukraine owes us a lot!

No. Ukraines defense isn't a mob shakedown.

It's complicated

US should DEMAND similar for ALL nations above

US has values & allies or not. It's not pay to play.

[NoDecision]

That should be up to the taxpayers as it comes out of their pockets, not Trump's, Biden's, or the deep pockets of Congress. But, had it not been for the US, the Ukraine would be part of Russia by now. But in my opinion, they owe us something. I didn't see NATO throwing them any crumbs. Seems like it's always the US to bail out everyone but their own populace.

[DrPepper12]

Why? Why do they owe us something? We guaranteed their security in 94 and ITS IN OUR Interests to support Ukraine

[NoDecision]

@DrPepper12 Yeah, it seems it is always us to support someone but our own. It also seems in our best interests to support every country on the planet and on the moon.

Burden of leadership.

How else can we get our money 💰 from Ukraine 🇺🇦

[DrPepper12]

That money, 90% plus, never left the USA!! Its been spent on war materiel

[NoDecision]

But the taxpayers paid for that material. Not Ukraine. And I'm sure at inflated prices too.

Yes, the US spent hundreds of billions of dollars on a war that was not winnable from the start. We should get something in return especially since Zelensky had Joe Biden over a barrel and if he did not give Ukraine a blank check Zelensky may have spilled the beans on the payoffs he made to the BCF.

Thanks for the MHO

[DryGermanGuy]

The political deciders should look at the big picture and the long-term perspective. Which a narcissistic tv clown like Trump is of course incapable of.

It's economically better to set Ukraine up as a productive democratic EU member doing business. Rather than colonizing their resources

[DrPepper12]

MAGA is NOT known for long term... Err... Short term... ummm... not known for thinking...

[lightbulb27]

Good question. Everything has value or strategic value. can't say, it's possible. It sure puts Ukraine in a pickle... forever...

he's something everyone has learned... you cannot trust the USA... not for more than 4 years.

[Dargil]

We have a relationship with NATO and allied countries. We do not have that relationship with ukraine. We have given them money but we have no benefit from them. Getting natural resources from them will give us those benefits.

[DrPepper12]

Our "benefit" is a free, democratic, EU prepped Ukraine!! Ya know, like we PROMISED

[Dargil]

Obama and Biden both promised to unify the country, too.

[dustybiker2]

Trump specifically should not have a stake in Ukraine's mineral rights.

[Anonymous]

Yes, the US government should demand it from those three countries.

[loveslongnails]

That's how the USA usually does business with whoever they give aid to.

[seeyounexttuesday]

A lot of countries owe us.
