He has to be dealt with at some point or he will keep going using the same "I'll Nuke your ass fear" strategy.

Jokes on them... we don't have kilometers in the US! Their missiles will be confused and hit the wrong places!

Tell Putin unless he wants NATO on the ground in Ukraine, to back off.

Not sure you understand how this works. Ukraine is not a NATO country, so deploying NATO there isn’t an option. “NATO” isn’t an independent army either, it’s just a conglomerate of its member countries’ militaries. So “NATO on the ground” just means US on the ground when you consider most of it’s member countries don’t even pay in their part and it’s an outdated and useless organization propped up by the US taxpayer.

Longest peacetime in European history is hardly outdated and useless. NATO works.

US threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine won't sign minerals deal, sources tell Reuters

The United States has threatened to cut off Ukraine's access to Starlink satellite internet terminals if Kyiv does not reach a deal with the U.S. regarding critical mineral resources, Reuters reported on Feb. 21, citing three sources familiar with the negotiations.

U.S. and Ukrainian officials are currently negotiating the terms of a revised minerals deal after President Volodymyr Zelensky refused to sign an initial proposal. U.S. President Donald Trump said earlier on Feb. 21 that the parties are "pretty close" to an agreement.

U.S. negotiators have warned that Ukraine would lose access to Starlink terminals, owned by billionaire Elon Musk's company SpaceX, if Kyiv did not sign the deal, sources told Reuters.

Starlink internet terminals have played a crucial role in securing communications in the war in Ukraine. Last year, Ukraine said that approximately 42,000 terminals were in operation across the military, hospitals, businesses, and aid organizations.

Washington first raised the prospect of shutting off Starlink service after Zelensky rejected the deal presented by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Feb. 12, sources said. The deal reportedly sought a 50% stake in Ukraine's natural resources, including critical minerals, oil, and gas, without offering Ukraine any concrete security guarantees.

The Starlink threat came up again in talks with U.S. Special Envoy Keith Kellogg, who met with Zelensky and other Ukrainian officials in Kyiv on Feb. 20.

A source told Reuters that the loss of Starlink access would be devastating for Ukraine.

"Ukraine runs on Starlink. They consider it their North Star," the source said.

"Losing Starlink ... would be a massive blow."
