Trump is really a genius at business.
I have read here that all of the minerals are on the lands Russia took.
I thought it was probably exaggerated.
I will go check out the map.
I don’t have a dog in the fight.
I would like to see people stop dying and as much as possible, both sides walk away somewhat satisfied.
Would have never happened under Trump because he would have seen the legitimate issues on both sides.
But the past is the past.
Gee, so many postings of Armstrong Economics. If Humblegunner was still around, he’d be calling you out for blog pimping. I’m not usually one to complain, but there are better sources for all this, much better written, too. This guy just can’t seem to write worth a darn.
IBTG/MB!!
The whole “rare earth” and “minerals” thing, as presented, just doesn’t make sense.
The USA and North America have plenty of all these minerals. The real problem is 1) the average time to permit a new mine is 12 years - if at all and 2) we allowed China to take over the advanced processing of these minerals, due to environmental concerns, NIMBY, desire to buy cheap Chinese stuff. China now is most advanced in metallurgy and they also have the downstream products using these minerals.
So Ukraine has these minerals in the ground. So do we. That means nothing. The mines don’t exist, the processing plants don’t exist, the technology and applied science don’t exist, and the end use mass-manufacturing doesn’t exist.
As I said - doesn’t make sense.
Good find, Delta 7. Thank you.
Why don’t we do a deal with BOTH countries. Good for them and good for us. Neither likely to start up anything if lots of money is flowing to them and US contractors are plentiful in both countries.
We will need to build a military base in Ukraine in order to shut down Pootie from spreading the USSR. Similar to the one we put in Poland.
Herecomes Mr. Rumpled clothes. Wear a dmm suit!
