On the other hand, I don’t want a weak Russia, because something will fill the void, and odds are, you’re not going to like it.

So we buy Russian aluminum in exchange for an end to the Russian war with Ukraine. The rest is details.

ROFLMAO. Buying two million tons of aluminum from Russia is as “globalist” as it gets. Just wait until the EU Globohomos get in on the action, too.

Trump is giving the green light to the EU Globohomos to become reliant on Putin for energy again. That will Make Russia Great Again and rebuild his genocidal war machine ASAP. I’ve been to Russia. There are very few American companies doing business over there. The place is, however, over run with German, Italian, French, etc., Chinese, “biznessmen”. They will be the real winners in a return to business as almost usual with Russia. In addition to Russian Bolsheviks, of course.

Putin has lost more than 50% of his military capability... he cannot afford to cut spending there.

So basically, while they were demanding US blood and treasure, they were still propping up Putin. Screw them!

“A free Russia on friendly terms with a free USA is exactly what the globalists fear!”

The left hates Russia because they are not part of “The New World Order” as is Soros, WEF, the Davos gang of tyrants and our democrat party.

The US mainly buys alu from Canada. And the US exports bauxite to Canada for processing.
They have a competitive advantage due to hydropower.
I don’t know about market disruption due to this.
2M tons is about 1/2 US-Canada production.
There is no great global Alu shortage at the moment.

Russia is communicating in positive ways towards America.

Zelensky, in contrast, is acting like a spoiled brat.

My pop up foil sheets from Sam’s Club had product of Russia printed on the box several years ago.

American companies can return to doing business in Russia, and can make a lot of money, and send that money back to America.

America is safer the more it draws Russia away from China.

The weaker Russia is, the more Russia can be controlled by China.

Ever stop to think, “why would we need russian aluminum?” when we have a rebust recycling community in the country?

then you go look at the value of scrap aluminum at the scale and it starts to make sense.
