      The whole mineral rights stuff is going to be interesting to see play out. Because Zelenskyy, and Ukrainians in general, should very much beware Yankees bearing “gifts” at this point, because we are not the same country we were 6 months ago.

        It’s an odd one, because it only applies to new developments. As far as anyone knows, Ukraine doesn’t have any rare earths worth mining, and doesn’t have a lot else new to mine, either. However, that’s based on old geological surveys. They might well have something, but it’s all speculation.

      He’ll try to stop/derail it if he can’t claim ownership of the results.

      Trump never gave a shit about peace to begin with; he just wanted to fellate Putin.

        Remember that Trump ultimately betrays everyone. The fact that he hasn’t done it to Putin yet is unusual, but it doesn’t mean it won’t happen.

          True, however Putin is the dominate dog here. Krasnov is weak, confused and incompetent.
