Chalk up another failure of leadership.
Good and stay out.
A good thing. The orange cancer will side with Russia anyways. Wish more cough all cough countries would turn their backs and say piss off to that addled old twatwaffle.
Good, the US can fuck right off. Trump is a nincompoop as are his followers. No way they’d be capable of solving a geopolitical conflict.
Once again demonstrating how unreliable the American government has become.
It will be a very long time before the international community trusts America.
The international community should think of the US as an adversary like Russia or North Korea because that is what it is now.
Pariah state is the designation I have started to use.
No, think of the worlds far right sympathizers like that, not all US citizens want this bullshit I sure as shit don’t.
Give it a century
Or millenia, if at all…
Username checks out
I thought the invasion would end 80 days ago. Trump said so. 🤭🤡🤡🤡
Putin wouldn’t fold. Trump doesn’t know how to handle that so he noped out.
You mean Zelinsky wouldn’t fold. Trump never wanted Putin to actually fold.
Zelensky folded. He signed the mineral deal.
The deal he signed has little in common with the initial mineral deal, and this one is actually good for Ukraine.
No peace talks means the US is uninterested in peace. Back to supporting war I suppose.
Yes. In exchange for minerals. That is the mineral deal.
Ukraine is selling off their country for this.
For now. Deals don’t last all that long, e.g. Budapest Memorandum
And with the US-Ukraine Ressource Deal being singed too. So they bascically Held Ukraine at gunpoint Dekanding all their remaining Ressources while Russia raped them. The US is no longer trustworthy. They now sit Back, while Europe will have to steer the War Into a favorable direction, b/c they have to. If Russia eins or loses does Not Matter anymore for US, b/c they will benefit either way.
The US is no longer trustworthy.
And it will take a lot of time and effort from the Americans to regain the trust of the international community.
I think the mineral deal is for future resources in unoccupied territory. If Russia wins US gets nothing right? So they can’t really fully sit back. But I’ll admit maybe I’m understanding wrong. The real key is that Trump got bored honestly.
Except Trump is a puppet of Putins, to some degree. So he would Not Care about Russia occupiying Ukraine in any way, because He will still get His Deal. And in the mean time, Europe will continue to buy American Arms, making him and His größter Friends rich in the process. I would Not be surprised If He Starts selling weapons to both Sides.
Not exactly, it’s resources in exchange for aid going forward in the form of arms.
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.
Ukraine doesn’t even have significant rare earth deposits. Nothing worth mining.
However, those aren’t the only thing in the deal. Bunch of other minerals are in there, and oil and natural gas.
In that case, looks like Zelenskyy had the cards.
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.
If peace is reached and maintained. If Russia doesn’t get all of Ukraine, how long is it going to be until they invade again? No one is going to want to invest in building a mine with that hanging over it.
Typical Trump deal: nothing substantial, but he loudly claims credit for it anyway.
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.
So much for ending the war in one day.
Well, at least the US did remove a giant obstacle to a lasting peace from the war - Trump.
Such a FLOTUS. It’s all lies and empty promises, coated in idle boasting. What a fucking loser.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
The weird thing is that neither BBC,CNN, the Guardian, not my countries newspapers have this news item.
I was gonna say the same. No other outlet is reporting this (yet) so let’s see
If you can’t trust lebedev’s newspaper on russian related matters who could you trust?
This is an ultimate test :)
hey look it’s almost like Donnie has no idea what to do about anything
