The USA will get mineral rights.
Ukraine will make a deal for gas to go through their pipelines to help the EU out....and Germany in particular.
Russia will get the areas in fee...and they will become part of Russia proper.
Why...because of something "Z" said...It went something like this...Russia can have it...and after we're part of NATO, we'll start a tussle and get it back.
I think the minerals will be only on lands now held by Ukraine. Russia will make their own deal.
And again, assuming there are any minerals in significant quantities there, which is doubtful, what does a deal mean in the context of Trump getting the money back?
It certainly cannot mean that the United States funds all the exploration and then the mining and then gets the minerals after having spent all that money for exploration and mining. That’s not getting money back. That’s spending money.
For this to mean anything, it has to mean that Ukraine sends people out to do the exploration and then the mining and then they send whatever minerals are produced to America, and they pay for all of that exploration and mining themselves.
They can agree to anything they want to agree with, they don’t have the money to do that. This was a manufactured story to address desperation created by the realization that Trump wants out
I’m wondering who will end up footing the bill to re-build Ukraine.
