Sure tell him what ever he wants and then do the opposite , it’s the American way ..

>“We’re looking to do a deal with Ukraine where they’re going to secure what we’re giving them with their rare earth and other things.”
That’s not a bad trade for Ukraine, not bad at all.

Well, doubt anyone is surprised that he would be more interested in that than defending the free world but hey, him realizing that handing it to russia would be a bad call, is a positive.

What will Trump use it for? Keep it for himself?

Fine. If we want unfettered access to the rate earth metals, we will have to de-Russify the areas they are located in. Most of the rare earth metals are located where in Ukraine? That’s right, the temporarily occupied areas of the east. Trump isn’t going to commit to rooting out russia and his buddy putin for rare earth metals. Like every other deal the tangerine terrorist makes, he’ll reneg.

Ah, yes, faustian bargain.

Afaik they are on territory that Russia holds. That seems like a fair trade if they have to kick the squatters off first.

If Trump wants, he can get a lot of oil. A lot of oil. Let them take it all.
I think this is a good way for Trump to save face as he can now tell his supporters he got a great deal and is not supporting Ukraine for free.
Also, tgis essentially tethers the US to Ukraine. No rare earths if Ukraine is conquered. So US now HAS TO help Ukraine.
MikolashOfAngren on
If he wanted to be taken seriously, he should demand the spoils of war, from Ruzzia. Demand to get Ruzzian oil after kicking their asses, not Ukrainian minerals.

There is no low or line that Trump won’t cross.

This is good. It gives Ukraine a bargaining chip and trump something he can say to justify it as “America first”

Ukraine should accept the deal. I hope the US keeps its promises.

One Trump tower in Kyiv and it’s a del…

Ukraine would (should) take this deal if US will guarantee doubling the military support
The minerals are in eastern ukraine so US would have to assist in removing russia in eastern ukraine first.
I’m positive ukraine would rather let US access minerals while they regain their territories, versus russia having both territories, resources and minerals.

Trump simply doesn’t have a sense of “What’s right”, he only has a sense of “What can I get out of it”.

Since most of those are in the occupied territories, this might actually be the deal of the century.
Give Ukraine the weapons it needs to kick Russia out completely and let the US invest in mining at a favourable price afterwards.
mneri7 on
Honestly, this is a chance for Ukraine? Most precious metals are in the areas of Russian occupation. Give USA a fair share of metals and get all your territory back.
I’m might be stupid, but I’d accept that. It could really mean get 100% of your territory back and NATO to protect the caves.
phoenixplum on
This is honestly a good thing. It means the US would have a vested interest in making sure Ukraine prevails and achieves a lasting peace.
And the prospect of American companies being able to dig shit up for profit in Ukraine would mean that the US government would have to protect its interests in the region.
This is certainly light years better than the Biden’s “as long as it takes” nonsense with no plan or end goal whatsoever and constant waffling about escalation.

I am not entirely sure that this orange fucktard can even read, so can another American please read the Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances to Trump.
Ukraine was persuaded to give up all the soviet nuclear weapons on their soil for security guarantees from Russia, the United States and the United Kingdom.
Russia has demonstrated that their word is utterly worthless, now Trump is showing the world that America is just as untrustworthy.
Putin’s Russia has broken 1 and 2, and now Trump’s America seeks to break the third.
1. Respect the signatory’s independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.
2. Refrain from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of the signatories to the memorandum, and undertake that none of their weapons will ever be used against these countries, except in cases of self-defense or otherwise in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations.
3. Refrain from economic coercion designed to subordinate to their own interest the exercise by Ukraine, the Republic of Belarus and Kazakhstan of the rights inherent in its sovereignty and thus to secure advantages of any kind.

As long as Ukraine is paid a fair royalty I don’t see an issue with this. Better them than some Ukrainian
Or Russian oligarch who kills those who criticize him.
I have always believed Ukraine’s land and those resources were always Russia’s target.
Lone-Wolf-90 on
He just said the quiet part out loud.
Call me cynical, but this has always been a big part of why the US is supporting Ukraine. That, and getting to vastly deplete Russia by sending it’s old military stock.
Either way, if it results in a victory for Ukraine, let’s go.
screenrecycler on
Well for Ukraine its better than letting Putin have these resources. Just gotta make sure US helps de-Russify Donbas if that’s what they want. Reasonable quid-pro-quo imo.

Yeah that’s what Musk needs and why he’s been so vocally supporting Russia.
