Trump, Putin & The Deal America Can’t Afford To Refuse | Balancing China
Youtube ^ | 2/14/2026 | Matt Williams

Posted on 02/14/2026 7:40:48 AM PST by SaxxonWoods

Today, I'm going to have a special episode. What this episode is going to be is an extension on the episode we had 4 days ago regarding this offer from Russia to America regarding a massive amount of resources.

Of course, resources carry with it a massive amount of money. Today we have a little bit more information on this that may make it unbelievably attractive, almost too good to turn away potentially for Trump that this would be in US dollars as of course what we have seen over the past years is many nations Russia at the helm with bricks with China looking to move away from the dollar dependency due to the sanctions the subjective application of tariffs sanctions and the hypocrisy, but what we're going to be looking at is why this is attractive to Trump.

Also, why it's very attractive to Putin.

There's an article from Bloomberg about this, but it's paywalled. Putin has offered Trump a minerals/resources deal. And we know how Trump loves deals, and the more complicated the better.

This deal would also (it is claimed) help save the Dollar, which is under attack.

“It’s A Trap !!”

You think we shouldn’t trust that lying, corrupt, ex-KGB dictator?

Putin isn’t any worse to America than the UK and the Euros.

Russia is not our enemy anymore.
They mostly want to be left alone.

Europe is not our problem anymore.
They will be part of the new Caliphate soon enough.

Chicoms need paying customers.
That’s not Mooselimbs.

Chicoms don’t like the Mooselimbs.
Russia don’t like the Mooselimbs.
Muhrica don’t like the Mooselimbs.

That’s the New World Order.
And the Dollar remains at the center of it all.

After 7 Warsaw Pact countries were let go and 14 Soviet States were freed, NATO probably should have been disbanded.

Its my guess that the trade off is not only letting Putin take all of Ukraine, its also the break-up of NATO by the US pulling out, and US protection against China. In return we get all the rare earths and other important minerals that we’ll ever need, as well as continuing dollar hegemony in international trade.

This is not about “democracy” or “morality”, its pure geopolitical power politics. Trump is not immune from that thinking. If he takes the deal, in future years people will argue about whether he lost his soul, or whether he gained long-term economic prosperity for the US. The reality is that it will be both.

Sure, because opening all trade with totalitarian China has yielded wonderful results

Complete nonsense. It's a sign of Putin's desperation and ploy to further separate the US from Europe. Plus the "deal" requires the assent of Ukraine, which is not going to accept Putin's terms of capitulation.

The pressure on the dollar is coming mainly from Congress' out of control spending. If China, Russia and India want a COMECON II barter system, let them.

Russia doesn't want all of Ukraine. It recognizes the western half are ethnic Poles, Hungarians or radical Azov nationalists. Russia would be happy to leave the Western part as an EU Somalia and thorn in the side of W. Europe.

As for NATO - what purpose is NATO now? To help the ghouls in Brussels and Davos install Neo-marxism, globalism and Islam under the protection of Uncle Sam's military budget? the USA needs to get the hell out now.

US policy since the 60s was balance Russia and China against each other. Neocons (their allies in London and Brussels) under the cover of the Alzheimers puppet Biden through that out the window. Now Russia and China are in alliance on all fronts. How is that working out for us?

A weakened Europe does not lead to long-term US economic security. There are real offsetting costs to any deal either Russia. Putin is just trying to bribe Trump to betray Ukraine.

“And, how long before Putin retarts the Ukraine war ...”

I’m told he can’t last another month, he’s being defeated everywhere along the line, losing thousands of soldiers while Ukraine loses a handful, energy system blown up, it’s over.

Silly post. Is that all the pro-Putin dudes have left.
