Trump says he wants Ukraine's rare earth elements as a condition of further support
President Donald Trump on Monday indicated that he wants to reach an agreement with Ukraine to gain access to the country’s rare earth elements as a condition for continuing U.S. support for its war against Russia.
I need a word stronger than “hate”. Someone help me out.
There are a few deaths that will make me smirk, maybe a few that will make me grin. There are very few, potentially just one, death that will make me legitimately celebrate. As long as a few specific people walk the earth, it is difficult to believe in justice. And karma, forget about it, that shit is fully debunked at this point.
Revile.
There's no word. So instead of being concise I'll do the opposite. I unequivocally hate him beyond the capacity for words. I detest him more than anyone can fathom. I think he is a vile, wretched pile of dog puke. I hope every time he looks up a bird shits in his mouth. If I found out tomorrow that he died a 12 hour long agonizing death from some brand new undiscovered condition I would be simultaneously elated at his suffering and utterly disappointed that it didn't last twice as long. I hope something comes along that changes him for the better and he finally learns the joy of loving something more than himself. Then I hope fate rips that away in the cruelest fashion, leaving him to spend the rest of his days a weeping and broken husk. He deserves worse than even the darkest, most Eldritch horror can bestow upon him.
Vehemently despise.
"The United States is ready to take control of the reserves of rare earth metals on Ukraine, and Vladimir Zelensky agrees. This [was] stated in a joint statement by US Senators Richard Blumenthal and Lindsey Graham*, who visited Kiev [last August]."
This is just another example of Trump announcing "deals" which were negotiated before he was in office. The trade war with Mexico was postponed due to Mexico promising to do something they were already doing. I'm guessing the same happened with Canada but didn't look into it.
Putin's orange puppet at it again.
Pretty sure Ukraine would agree to some deal on that- especially if the US went all in on arming them.
Would be mafioso, wants protection fee. smh. so predictable, such a doofus.
The mob and gangs do outreach stuff with the community that at least balances out a little bit of their shitty criminal activities.
These fucking Republicans are actively against anything that doesn't ruin people's lives and people still vote for them.
Sure yeah the Bloods and Crips are famous for their bake sales
And why would Ukraine take that deal? They gave up their nukes and look where that got them. Trump wouldn't follow through. He would move the goal post after
They wound take that deal because without doing so they’d stop getting funding. Ukraine would be buying US support.
I heard there's plenty of rare earth elements in land mines, so take all you can dig up!
I know it’s extortion, but if Trump thinks he’s getting a deal he will definitely defend Ukraine. Might be the least bad outcome for Ukraine.
No he fucking won't.
And the elements arnt even the rare or valuable part, its the processing. Just be sure not to make Cuba's mistake and put a damned expiration date on that lease.
Always get payment up front with Maga the Hutt. Could still work "the rare earths are in Donbas, you'll just need to liberate it first"
All the better because it's true I believe
Thwy should tell russia and us that whoever wins the war between them gets the materials.
That’s essentially what’s happening already. Everybody knows it’s a proxy war.
Eat shit or die.
I mean... Tbh this does seem reasonable in exchange for their protection.
But so did the extra taxes in the 1700s when we saved the 13 colonies as well, and the yanks made a fuss over that
This, is what's known in the business, as a Bust Out
