Summary

According to the Telegraph, a leaked confidential Trump peace plan delivered to President Zelenskyy has caused panic in Kyiv.

The proposal would grant the U.S. half of revenues from Ukraine’s resource extraction and licensing, effectively amounting to economic colonization.

The Telegraph noted, “Trump’s demands would amount to a higher share of Ukrainian GDP than reparations imposed on Germany at the Versailles Treaty, later whittled down at the London Conference in 1921, and by the Dawes Plan in 1924.”

Simultaneously, the plan would absolve Russia for its invasion that has caused hundreds of thousands of deaths.

    I honestly despise the fact that this man (as well as Musk) has made me into a bitter person who hates. I don’t want to hate anyone. I can feel it destroying my soul (or whatever you want to fucking call it).

      It’s bitter, but let’s make lemonade. Embrace it as the fuel to drive whatever actions seem necessary and possible to you.

      Take care of that light which lets you see how hate is no good, although, maybe you can yield it as a shield to brace the storm head on.

      We could get philosophical about who that ‘you’ or ‘your soul’ is, which feels like being destroyed, and wether it really is. On one hand, this entity will still remain. Though not unchanged. But isn’t that a good thing? I prefer being capable of feeling pain, as it sometimes just plainly is a totally appropriate reaction or sensation. I know that feeling of breaking, but on the other hand, if I could not feel that anymore, I surely was already broken. Dull and unmoved. So in a paradoxical sense, it is an affirmation that you are fine, a fine person.

        The other option is to channel that hate into action. Even it’s just helping others get angry too. Once the right people (or the right amount of people) get angry enough, this can all be stopped.

          This. The Dalai Lama is very quotable on this subject. One of my favourites is:

          To be angry on behalf of those who are treated unjustly means that we have compassionate anger. This type of anger leads to right action, and leads to social change.

          To be angry toward the people in power does not create change. It creates more anger, more resentment, more fighting.
