>”We’re investing hundreds of billions of dollars. They have great rare earths, and I want security of the rare earths,” he said in Washington, adding that Ukraine is “willing to do it.”
WHERE IS EUROPE IN ALL OF THIS?
We should have had a common European defense strategy 10 years ago already. Or even 20 years ago. We should never have relied on the US for our defense for so long. It’s really too late now. Thanks to all the conservative, “EU-critical” forces and parties in Europe (among which the VVD over here in the Netherlands. The party of Mark Rutte). They’ve been blocking further EU integration for decades already. And they are *still* blocking it today. Our whole current government in the Netherlands is against further integration.
Bunch of fools.
And now there is a real possibility the US and Russia might strike a deal and divide Ukraine among themselves, and grab its valuable resources, as well. Just like Trump is planning to do with Greenland.
AGAIN, WHERE IS EUROPE? WHERE IS THE EU? WHY ARE WE LETTING THE US AND RUSSIA DECIDE WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN WITH UKRAINE?
We need, we really *need* an EU populist. Not a national one, like Wilders, or Meloni, or Orban, Or Le Pen. They are worthless. No, we need a *European* populist who finally gets through to the thick skulls of the masses, and explain to them that we are falling behind every day we don’t take huge steps forward integrating the EU.
Ngl, I’ll be mad if both of them get those resources and meanwhile the EU will be like: *cricket sounds*.
So basically “don’t take them, we want them”. Toss pot. He looks like a broomstick handle.
I thought this whole thing was about nazis!? Is “nazis” a slang for neodymium? I am confused..
LMAO
And, of course, he will back off.
4d chess by orange man tbh
The nerve of these cunts
More of this, MORE! This is how we get the orange idiot to keep supporting Ukraine. The Russians boundless idiocy might save the day.
Putin: I’ve killed off a generation and a half of russian boys and countless Ukranian civilians for those metals, they’re (whines) *miiiiine.*
What’s up, upside-down toilet brush…?
It’s getting interesting now. Especially that a lot of rare materials are in Donbas right? Which is already pretty much controlled by Russians.
Ukraine to Russia: bite my shiny metal ass.
Trump’s a bit of a c*** for saying the US need rare earth’s from Ukraine to support them
He’s not Russian level political c***ery though (yet anyway) that’s a special level
Naa
Russia in to free all those rare earths!
A lot of the rate earths are in occupied territories.
Zelensky could offer those ones. If US state &/or corporations help liberate the territories, they can keep part of what’s in the ground.
If played well this isn’t necessarily all that bad for Ukraine. They get military support and get Trump invested in Ukraine keeping its eastern territories. After the war the USA has to invest to extract those minerals, including in areas that will be the most damaged and the most at risk of a repeated invasion.
If Trump and Putin start dick measuring each other, it’s very clear US support for Ukraine will keep going for a loooong time. No matter what kind of hold Putin had on Trump. The guy right now feels invincible, and has a huge ego.
What’s funny is the number of Americans who voted for Trump because they thought Biden would start WW3 by supporting Ukraine. I was called “bloodthirsty” by co-workers for suggesting we should give weapons to Ukraine as long as they are willing to fight. Now Trump is talking about an escalation in order to obtain natural resources in Ukraine.
It’s difficult (impossible?) to understand Trump’s thinking. If he wants to cement his legacy by obtaining natural resources, it’s very possible that it might be easier to obtain them in Ukraine as opposed to annexing Greenland. But then Trump, and the people around him, have always seemed extremely pro-Russia. Does Russia still have a leash on Trump or will his desire not to be seen as weak break the leash? An admirer of autocratic strongmen or the desire to actually be an autocratic strongman?
So that’s what it is all about. Thank you, Mr. Peskov.
Another perfect phone call incoming.
*Zelenskyy was fighting a much bigger entity, much bigger, much more powerful. He shouldn’t have done that, because we could have made a deal. You don’t engage with those forces* . . . unless of course you want to trade assistance for rare earths.
That’s the spirit Peskov, keep talking. I want Trump to continue arming Ukraine.
ouu we found a way to make Trump shoot in the right direction.
Earth to russia: back off of the planet.
Ukraine should go along with the US and agree to what the orange man asks in exchange for boots on the ground. Then when the war is won they honor their word just like the US did with the Budapest memorandum.
I like how Russia and Trump are pretending to have disagreements. It’s adorable.
So after all trumps bullshit in the campaign. He will be the one to start WWIII with Russia over both of them wanting Ukraine. Now what you’ve been told all along but never believed is the truth of the war. Not the many changing stories from Putin. Putin wants the soil. The rich soil. The Black Sea ports. The land connections. And, he wants Ukrainians gone. His most formidable foe must go because he knows as long as one survives they will be back to take back what is theirs as they’ve done many times before after unprovoked Russian aggression.
Bullshit from both of them. Nightly phonecalls to discuss what to say next day to confuse the peasants.
