As much as I was hoping the USA would pull out of NATO, we need to have some say in what happens over there before Europe half-asses everything and fricks it up.

Why do you not want some pay back for the $183 billion that Biden gave to Ukraine?

That's debatable. That is why we included Oil and Gas in the deal



Are you doubting Trump?

Ukraine is a major rapeseed producer. Rapeseed can be used for biofuel. The presidential aircraft of Ukraine has a gold crapper and flies on biofuel. That is why the left is not up in arms. :sarcasmalert:

Serious question: how do they sign this on such short notice? DocuSign or some other type of digital signing process? Do we have one of those vacuum tubes like they have at banks set up from DC to Kiev?


You do know it’s 2025 right? Internet ring a bell?

Because it has everything to do with the mineral deal. Watch the full thing not clips. The purpose of the meeting was til sign the mineral deal. Z backed out that precipitated there rest of the whole episode.

Wow! This is a big deal. I wonder what the Dems are gonna say now.


Probably some stupid shite like:
Trump waited too long to sign it
Trump bullied and pressured Z
Mining destroys the earth and is bad for the environment
Z played Trump like a fiddle and got everything he wanted.

Rare earth minerals are a necessity in the modern world. They have them and we need them. This is mutually beneficial if things go well.


And it's more about keeping them out of the hands of another foreign adversary like Russia or China.

It had to do with Vance saying they never tried diplomacy only for Z to fact check him so hard that Vance had to call him disrespectful since he had no actual response.


Not taking this win for Trump very well, are you?

Obama, Schumer, Milley, Blinken and all the DNC/Neocon TDS warmongers he met with, right before meeting with Trump.

I hope Trump knows it won't be worth the paper it's written on and Blackrock will be getting the money.

Best option is to walk away and cut NATO's budget by the amount given to Ukraine.

things will go well until Democrats are back in power and then they will hand over whatever infrastructure we have put in place to Ukraine, Just like they did with the Panama Canal. they will profit greatly from this move under the table, and the United States will suffer.

It is certainly part of our strategy and that’s partly why I think Putin will slow play any cease fire and when it does happen it will come at great cost on the resources front. We can sign whatever agreement we want with Ukraine but if they cannot hold the territory it’s ultimately meaningless.

Another thing to consider is if Russia is able to take more Ukrainian land what that means for grain exports to China and how that lessens our current leverage. There is a lot at play here that will shape the world that future generations grow up in.
