Kyiv's Attempts to Lure Trump with Rare Earth Metals Backfired — Politico
??The minerals gambit has become a political disaster. Extracting them will cost billions and could take decades.
??Most of Ukraine's mineral resources were explored in the 1960s and now do not meet current standards. Their extraction will require major investments.
??Initially, minerals were part of the peace deal, and Ukraine's membership in NATO was also implied within the agreement. Only minerals remain from these intentions, and they are turning into an existential problem for Ukraine.
?"The current draft deal significantly undermines the strategic balance, limiting Ukraine's regulatory and tax autonomy," Kyiv analysts say.
??Kiev is refraining from criticizing the deal and is trying to delicately adjust it so as not to anger Trump.

Especially Tech stocks are grossly overvalued. Crude oil is also overvalued with massive supply hitting the market in a year.

Someone needs to tell cargo pants the US isnt sending any more money for him.
And all those promises the EU made......well they kinda sorta gotta spend some money on tariffs.
Wont matter, Russia no longer has to negotiate, soon they will have the whole country anyway.

I challenge you to find where I ever said that.
I clearly was and still am for providing them aid, but I trust Trump to handle that and to decide what and how much.
What I don’t trust is you. You come here to play the devil’s advocate, but only for Ukraine supporters. You start your word smithing and start lying just as you did here. You chide people for adding nothing to the thread, but you never do,
Go F yourself and quit spreading lies.

You need to tell Ttump the minerals are worthless. He apparently doesn’t know that.

Go tell that to Trump, apparently he was the only one who believed he could negotiate a peace deal.
Three years and one month for a three month special operation???

What are we even still talking about? Trump ended the war almost 3 months ago on day one of his presidency

The US is preparing to give Ukraine a tough ultimatum: a peace deal on Russia's terms, or lose American support — The Telegraph
??Trump views Ukraine as a "subsidiary" dependent on American policy and funding.
??He is counting on a quick peace deal with Ukraine, "leaving Putin rubbing his hands."
?"Ukraine will face an ultimatum: either sign a Trump-brokered peace deal dictated by Russia, or lose American intelligence and support forever," the author writes.
??If the Kremlin and the White House are determined to divide Ukraine between themselves, who can stop them, the journalist asks.
??He compares Ukraine to South Vietnam, which fell two years after the US signed a peace treaty and withdrew its troops

So you seem like a Russian bot but answer this question. Do you honestly support these terror bombings by Russia in highly dense populations of civilians in Ukrainian cities? Do you think that’s ok?

EU and NATO love our tax money providing them security, but they don't love the USA. Lived overseas years 9 years with those condescending and arrogant shits.
