If I understand this correctly, this agreement has aluminum, graphite, oil, and natural gas.

While I think this is a great deal for both parties, I’m also concerned that whatever infrastructure is built to mine these minerals (which is generally considerable) is within spitting distance of Russia and will present a perpetually tempting target for Putin or whomever succeeds him. It’s like a permanent piece of bait laid out within striking distance.

Zelensky signs law ratifying mineral resources deal with US

Excellent! Now we don't need Zelensky or his Nazi government anymore.

The minerals in Ukraine belong to America, the only thing we need Ukrainians for is to work the mines and teach Piano in Europe.

The Banderites will now spend the rest of their lives toiling in the mines of rump Ukraine to pay off their debt to their Western masters.

It's meaningless until the war ends.

Tell your Zelensky to end the war, Marcus, so US taxpayers can get their money from the failed war the Biden regime is reasonable for.

So far, in less than a week we’ve had two major trade deals, a couple of (tentative) cease fire deals engineered by the Trump admin., the negotiated release of a Hamas hostage, an EO ordering a drastic cut in prescription drug prices and a huge stock market rally.

I may be forgetting something, but I won’t bother checking to see if any of it is being reported on today’s synchronized network newscasts.

I seem to remember that when Trump first mentioned this, all of the “experts” (and I think Zelensky as well) said it would never happen.
