That’s why we needed to let Russia rape and pillage Ukraine instead, amirite?!

Russia is saying that ultimately it cannot sign a deal with the United States - but that for the war to end, a legitimate settlement must be made bilaterally with Kiev.

The exact opposite of what Russia has been saying.

So Putin worked with the global elites to start the invasion in 2014, ramp it up in 2022, and then Trump arrived just in time to concoct this mineral deal all to help the global elites.

So Trump and Putin are in cahoots with the global elite?

No...Did Putin work with Victoria Nuland and John McCain to overthrow a Democratically elected Yanukovych because he would not sign a loan agreement with the IMF giving Ukraine away to the Globalist Elites? The answer is no, Putin took Crimea after that happened and told them to go eat shite. Nice try NAFO troll

He doesn't understand free market capitalism. He thinks in terms of podnas with the despot ruler getting sweetheart deals as heads of state owned companies.

ISW Update April 30 2025

quote:

Key Takeaways:

The United States and Ukraine signed a bilateral economic partnership agreement on April 30.

Russian officials continue to demand full Ukrainian capitulation as the sole basis on which Russia is willing to accept a future peace agreement.

Peskov overinflated Russia's current military strength and battlefield victories thus far in the war in an attempt to justify Russia's continued unwillingness to make territorial concessions.

Russian officials continue to call for the cessation of Western aid to Ukraine as part of efforts to reintensify offensive operations when Ukraine's defense capabilities are weakened.

Senior Russian officials continue claim that Russia is open to diplomacy to end the war while rejecting US and Ukrainian ceasefire proposals that would allow for formal peace negotiations to begin.

Russian officials continue to falsely portray European efforts to increase their own defense capabilities – in line with US President Donald Trump's objective to have Europe shoulder more of the burden for collective security - as a threat to Russian national security, likely to support Russian efforts to justify future Russian aggression against NATO.

North Korea and Russia continue to enhance bilateral cooperation, particularly in the military and labor spheres.

Ukrainian sources continue to report on cases of Russian commanders ordering their subordinates to execute Ukrainian prisoners of war (POWs) in violation of international law.

Ukrainian forces recently advanced in Kursk Oblast and near Toretsk. Russian forces recently advanced near Lyman and Toretsk.

Market oil prices continue to drop. Both the US and the Saudis have increased production. I wonder why...?

WTI Crude 57.60 -0.61 -1.05%

Brent Crude 60.51 -0.55 -0.90%

Murban Crude 60.75 -0.68 -1.11%

Further, Trump denied an EU offer to buy US weapons for Ukraine.

It puts the Trump admin in an uncomfortable position and the external pressures won't help. For example:

- The US defense industry, which is being denied billions in sales.

- EU defense industries rapidly ramping up

And... right on queue...

France’s Upcoming Foudre MLRS rocket launcher Aims to Rival US HIMARS on European Market.
quote:

Where the Foudre particularly aims to match international standards is in its firepower. It can carry a configurable munition pod capable of launching six 227 mm M31 rockets—the same as those used by the current French LRUs and compatible with the HIMARS system. It can also fire one ATACMS missile with a range of 150 km, or two PrSM (Precision Strike Missile) units with a range of up to 500 km, aligning it with the most recent upgrades to the American platform. Furthermore, with minor adaptations, the Foudre is expected to be able to deploy land-attack cruise missiles such as the MBDA-developed Land Cruise Missile (LCM), with a stated range of 1,000 km. This would exceed the known range capabilities of the current HIMARS, whose long-range cruise missile integration remains at the planning or early development stage.

You ask, 'What about the Patriot system...?' Glad you asked -

quote:

You can also mention our new anti-missile system, which far outperforms the Patriot system.

Radar type: Ground Fire 300 ? AESA 4D, active scanning, gallium nitride-based Patriot ? PESA, passive scanning

Coverage: Ground Fire 300 ? 360° azimuth, 90° elevation (full hemispheric view) Patriot ? ~120°, must be manually oriented

Detection range: Ground Fire 300 ? up to 550 km Patriot ? around 150 to 170 km Simultaneous targets tracked: Ground Fire 300 ? 1,000 targets Patriot ? 50 to 100 targets

Data processing: Ground Fire 300 ? 4 terabytes per second Patriot ? unknown (significantly lower)

Threats detected: Ground Fire 300 ? drones, ballistic missiles, hypersonic missiles, stealth aircraft Patriot ? aircraft, conventional missiles, drones

Well, good news. Donnie must have been listening to the grown-ups. The mineral rights deal was signed after some last minute issues were resolved. We can guess what those were. If you listen closely you will hear the champagne corks at Lockheed and Raytheon.

The move also comes just weeks after President Volodymyr Zelensky announced his country’s intention to buy $30-50 billion worth of air defense systems and weapons from the US as a form of future security guarantees.

It's fascinating to watch JB have to twist and turn and justify and defend.

Just a week ago it was "Zelensky obviously doesn't want peace.". Now it's: "you see, um, Russia can only sign a peace deal with Ukraine, not with the US involved.... Uh...So...we can't sign this one.....because there's too many people in the room! Yeah, that's it!"

And then when Trump signs a minerals deal that gives another round of billions to Ukraine: "Well, see, that doesn't matter because it's not.....relevant....until after the war. And since the war is still going on then that Zelensky's fault..And because see its all globalist elites...and because Nazis." Get it?

Yeah. Got it.

Also, your comments about someone wanting to rape and pillage Ukraine for its resources. Absolutely the most incredible irony.

Do you need me to define the word Irony for you?

No? Looks like you have a good grasp on it.

VP Vance: Ukraine is unlikely to win against Russia if the war drags on for years, and the risk of nuclear escalation remains a real possibility.

Once again, this administration falls for the same old Russian playbook:

1.Seize land

2.Rattle nukes

3.Declare a “new reality”

4.Wait for useful idiots [that's you, JD] to beg for a “reset,” legitimizing war crimes and stolen territory

5.GOTO 1

JD Vance is Jake Sullivan 10.0

There’s no war if Putin doesn’t start it. He is either a global elite puppet of he is a part of the scheme. Right?

Now you are saying Trump is in on it too. This mineral deal is his right?
