Pretty sure Ukraine would agree to some deal on that- especially if the US went all in on arming them.
Putin’s orange puppet at it again.
Would be mafioso, wants protection fee. smh. so predictable, such a doofus.
The mob and gangs do outreach stuff with the community that at least balances out a little bit of their shitty criminal activities.
These fucking Republicans are actively against anything that doesn’t ruin people’s lives and people still vote for them.
Sure yeah the Bloods and Crips are famous for their bake sales
And why would Ukraine take that deal? They gave up their nukes and look where that got them. Trump wouldn’t follow through. He would move the goal post after
They wound take that deal because without doing so they’d stop getting funding. Ukraine would be buying US support.
I heard there’s plenty of rare earth elements in land mines, so take all you can dig up!
I know it’s extortion, but if Trump thinks he’s getting a deal he will definitely defend Ukraine. Might be the least bad outcome for Ukraine.
And the elements arnt even the rare or valuable part, its the processing. Just be sure not to make Cuba’s mistake and put a damned expiration date on that lease.
And the elements arnt even the rare or valuable
Shhhhh don’t let the orange thing know that. I bet it thinks rare earth is rare.
The US government doesn’t care about expiration dates on leases.
Up until a few weeks ago they were usually pretty meticulous about that sort of thing. Going forward…who knows.
Always get payment up front with Maga the Hutt. Could still work “the rare earths are in Donbas, you’ll just need to liberate it first”
All the better because it’s true I believe
No he fucking won’t.
“The United States is ready to take control of the reserves of rare earth metals on Ukraine, and Vladimir Zelensky agrees. This [was] stated in a joint statement by US Senators Richard Blumenthal and Lindsey Graham*, who visited Kiev [last August].”
This is just another example of Trump announcing “deals” which were negotiated before he was in office. The trade war with Mexico was postponed due to Mexico promising to do something they were already doing. I’m guessing the same happened with Canada but didn’t look into it.
I mean… Tbh this does seem reasonable in exchange for their protection.
But so did the extra taxes in the 1700s when we saved the 13 colonies as well, and the yanks made a fuss over that
Britain picked fights with the French, the Spanish, and Austria, then expected their colonies to foot the bill.
Isn’t that kind of what colonies are for? Extracting money from land you took from the people who lived there before?
If that’s how you treat people you shouldn’t be surprised when they ‘cause a fuss’ and kick you out.
I agree, on both levels.
My empire my rules
Eat shit or die.
Thwy should tell russia and us that whoever wins the war between them gets the materials.
That’s essentially what’s happening already. Everybody knows it’s a proxy war.
This, is what’s known in the business, as a Bust Out
