I don’t trust them until it is actually signed.

It’s a meaningless piece of paper. Trump is deluded if he thinks it’s a game changer. All this messing around with the Ukes is going to end badly. He should have declared it Biden’s folly and walked away months ago, but alas. Ego!

I don’t trust them until material is mined. In the meantime, start digging here. Google NIOCORP.

“What minerals are involved here?”

It covers a broad range, including oil and gas. Ukraine produces 117 of the 120 most commonly used minerals and metals.

I believe that it covers new projects and investments, rather than pre-existing projects. Ukraine not only has rich deposits (most in Europe), but it also has a competent and experienced workforce, and well developed logistics and infrastructure to refine and bring products to market. It was the core of the Soviet Union’s Defense Industrial Base.

“Trump is deluded”

He has been exceptionally business savvy these last 78 years. Maybe he might actually have a clue.

No one should believe this until they see a signed deal.

I think this deal is just a way to keep money from US flowing to the Ukes.

I don’t think Trump is that fond of Ukraine after what was done to him during the second impeachment.

We can NOT walk away. Trump knows that. Zelinsky knows that. We got locked into supporting Ukraine by Biden and co.

An Afghanistan replay would destroy Trump.

Trump has to keep Russia in-check.
