Probably a good thing, the US sucked at it anyway. Ukraine was going to be forced to concede so much… Art of the Deal strikes again.
Nah, Trump got what he wanted, the minerals deal. Now he can keep sanctions on China for longer while we strip mine Ukraine for rare earth minerals.
Lol, we aren’t going to be mining anything. Rare earth minerals aren’t rare because they’re only located in isolated places, they’re rare because they are only present in small amounts when mining other materials.
The hard part is the refining of rare earth minerals because it requires large investments in refineries to separate the materials and consolidate them. Infrastructure that Ukraine or America haven’t invested in.
The minerals deal is just something that trump can point to as a “win” when in reality it’s not worth anything. Just like everything this administration does, it’s nothing but smoke and mirrors.
I’m aware, but they’re also unfortunately rare in the US, and we need batteries if we don’t maintain a good trade relationship with China.
Bro the US isn’t going to mine shit in an active war zone. The mineral deal might be beneficial if peace is reached but not before that.
Doesn’t really matter. Trump got a deal. In Donnie’s diseased mind, it doesn’t matter what it says, only that it exists.
Honestly, from everything I’ve seen so far, the new mineral deal seems pretty good and fair.
That depends on the deal actually being followed.
Trump has zero intention of following through on any deal he makes, if he finds another option that is more beneficial to himself and himself alone, he will reneg on the deal in a microsecond.
Ironically, that might be the most useful contribution to eventual peace in Ukraine the US has made for some time now.
Thanks, I guess.
So much for ending the war in one day.
You should known that our beloved pumpkin pie is working directly with the back of the future crew to locate the actual dolorian used for the films. With the vast plutonium reserves they will send Elon back in time to the moment Putin was borne. He will the proceed to choke that sonobabich: okay let’s see this happening:
88mph.
The vehicle’s flux capacitor is activated.
The vehicle is at its maximum hyperbolic pressure MHP. That’s when the hyperbolae regarding the vehicle is at Ludicrous hypervelocity.
The tire flames are now converging into the time flux redundonator.
And he’s gone! The sonobabich did it!
OK now we switch over to the time Harper lapse camera. Let’s see Elon locate and choke baby putin. Wait a minute! Is he breast feeding putin? Holy! That is not a breast! No! The humanity! And putin is actually just Elon sucking on his own. Why didn’t we see it?!!
We must send a second dolorian back in time to stop the first dolorian!
Another promise broken. What a loser.
End the war before even taking office. Kept moving the bar, then eventually just pivoted and pretended there was no bar.
