This occurred before the oval office meeting with Z.

Putin with the counter offer. And Zelensky doesn't think he's playing cards.

Trump knows exactly what he is doing

He wears a suit and tie as well.

Can someone speak Russian? That network is a Chinese propaganda network. Not sure if the translation is correct.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said he is open to offering the US access to rare minerals, including from Russian-occupied Ukraine.
Oh, that's going to rustle some jimmys.

Putin also said Ukraine will be opening up new territories.
I assume he is saying that once he takes Ukraine he will grant the US access to Ukraine as well.

Trump doesn't care about rare earth minerals. He wants raw earth.

This is the way!
A strong and cooperating relationship with Russia is much better than the flip side.

I said this before: Russia’s whole “liberation” in East Ukraine was about getting their natural resources. Many of Ukraine’s rare earth minerals in the territories Russia has occupied. We don’t need the iron in the West and Central parts of Ukraine.

He was talking about the territories in the east that Russia has already taken. That's why he referred to them as "the new territories" and quickly walked it back saying "those new territories that have historically been part of Russia"

Yup. Exxon was operating in Russia before this started.

Don't believe this.
Putin doesn't want NATO on his doorstep, but he'll let US com in?
Highly doubt

The media will reeeee but honestly it’s more in our best interest to be friends with Russia than enemies.
If the worlds top two military and nuclear powers are friends and not enemies that’s good for everyone imo
Why not reset the power paradigm? Western Europe is weak, trending authoritarian and woke beyond hope. They no longer support traditional western values, freedoms, and democracy. Make a deal to trade with Russia and normalize relations as long as Russia agrees to end hostilities with Ukraine. Why not see if Russia and Ukraine would both enter NATO? Then there’s nothing for either side to worry about. End sanctions, return to previous borders, enter trade deals, and align two military powers on one side. Use this to isolate China and shift trade and manufacturing back towards the Western world
If Russia and U.S. were united along with the EU, China would have no choice but to play ball to our demands. They couldn’t find enough allies to stand against that coalition militarily

Putin wanted Russia in NATO when he first was elected to power. The West said no.
We have continued to isolate Russia as an enemy due to the USSR and Cold War, and it’s stupid. We didn’t do that to Japan or Germany post WW2. China is the enemy. Is Putin a “good guy”? No. But neither are the Saudi royals yet we work with them. Xi Jinping isn’t a good guy, he oppresses his people and has committed atrocities in the western provinces against the Muslim population yet we trade with them and work with them. It’s time to put aside feelings and do what’s logical and best for the U.S. and stop acting like Putin is any worse than all the other sociopathic world leaders we deal with daily
