So apparently the Alt Left would rather China get control.
Ukraine has a larger territory than anyone in the EU. The territory hold vast mineral resources. Investment will not flow into Ukraine until its military situation stabilizes. So far, the “negotiations” consisted of Trump telling Zelinski to sign the deal as payment for U.S. grants already received. Zelinski refused, and Trump went ballistic and called him a dictator. Russia is now using donkeys to transport supplies as in Tsarist times, and Ukraine is getting billions from Europe. Ukraine may not need the U.S. to help them now. Although such help is appreciated, Ukraine may not need to pay for it with this deal.
A deal like this theoretically allows Trump to reverse course and support Ukrainian independence by giving the US a stake in an independent Ukraine.
A horrific idea. Ukraine is utterly corrupt. DC is corrupt and in the middle of reform that -might- succeed. A mineral deal with Ukraine will do two things. It will permanently tie DC to the Ukrainian government forever. We will never be able to drop that tar baby.
Two, if you have a recovering drunk, the last thing you do is pair them up with a full blown alcoholic. A patent will ensure the reforms in DC fail and the corruption quickly returns.
This mineral deal is a sop to blackrock and nothing else.
The Ukraine desperately needs this deal
The US has been floating pretty much the entire Ukrainian economy during the war.
In fact , US economic aid pretty much is the Ukrainian economy these days
As soon as US stops providing the funds that are propping up the Ukraine’s economy the economy will collapse in very short order
This is just for day to day funding to pay the bills to keep the lights on and does not even take into account the massive life support the Ukraine needs to rebuild the destruction from three years of war
Trump is trying to do a win - win joint venture deal to fund the short term needs of the Ukraine, to fund its reconstruction and to provide a solid economic future for the Ukrainian people that keeps vultures and carpetbaggers from stealing the resources of the Ukraine and making the Ukrainian people serfs to their new globalist overlords
Hope he succeeds
We have something Ukraine wants. Ukraine has something we want. Sounds like a deal is coming.
why should the US want entaglements with these grifters?
i hope trump changes his mind on this...
