This from NBC:


Ukraine and the United States reached an agreement over access to Kyiv’s deposits of rare earth minerals, according to media reports, as Kyiv seeks to reinforce its ties with its key wartime transatlantic ally under the Trump administration.

The draft deal envisages that the two countries will jointly develop Ukraine’s mineral resources, including oil and gas, and sees the U.S. drop demands for a right to $500 billion in potential revenue from the agreement, according to the Financial Times, which first reported the deal on Tuesday.

U.S. President Donald Trump appeared to confirm progress regarding the deal, which has yet to be inked.

“I hear that [there is a deal], I hear that [Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy]’s coming on Friday,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office on Tuesday.

“It’s certainly ok with me if he’d like to, and he would like to sign it together with me. And I understand that’s a big deal, a very big deal,” he added. “It’s rare earths, and other things,” Trump said, without giving further details.

Trump said the agreement offered Kyiv billions of dollars in aid and “lots of equipment and military equipment and the right to fight on, and originally, the right to fight.”


…………


So despite Hysteria’s hair on fire claims about the US robbing the Ukraine, it seems it’s a deal that will benefit both countries and the right for the Ukraine to fight in.


I tried to tell Hysteria that the US would never take Ukraine’s resources without paying a fair price. But trying to help this lady is a fool’s errand.

It is tied to the other thread. Of course the deal is reported as fair, or even incredibly generous to the Ukraine as liberal people can not perceive themselves as being malevolent. What has happened can not be accepted by liberal minds so they will craft narratives about the thing as a substitution. It is over for liberals, they are far beyond the point of no return. They have now that urge to paint themselves as benevolent, their self righteous prevails and prevents them from doing otherwise.




The deal is very good by the way as it once again illustrates something that was pinpointed, making liberal voices irrelevant. No discussion can be held with liberals. They are obsessed with power and can not withdraw from their obsession. For them, nothing matters but coming at the top.


Reminder: the deal was suggested to Zelensky. Zelensky rejected it. Trump called Zelensky an illegitimate dictator. The deal is signed with an illegitimate dictator, making it an illegitimate deal. The US have been running a business of farming the poor and extorting the weak. Others will face the harsh realities of the US benevolence.

hTis deal was taken to Kieve by Bessent and was totally misrepresented in the media as part of the peace negotiations with Russia - it never was. And it as not intended for the USA to get money from Ukraine - it was aimed at reconstruction of Ukraine after the war ended - its main aim wa to ensure that miniral usage help the Ukraine people and prevent using the income for corrupion.


However, the site idealogues coupled the deal to Trump being corrupt and wanting him to enrich himself and his partners - which was what the fake media wanted them to believe. They were too stupid to see hte issue differently and designed to help the Ukrainians in future,


The deal has an additional benefit for Ukraine as well. Much of he minerals and oil depositis is in Easerm Ukraine and at present under Russian army control. That means that the areas invovled would have to remain part of Ukraine for the deal to work and it is apparent that is the pproach as to the present peace engtiations as well, Ukraine would have to get the eas occupied ny Russian troops back as part of Ukraine. However, Ukraine will never get the Crimea back - but it is likely that for the most part Ukrane will get most terriroties at present cocupied by Russian troops back to remin part of Ukraine.


However, there are two issue that is going to cause premium requirements in the peace negotiations and that is Ukraine becoming a member of NATO and getting a new dempocratic Constitution based onm the USA sysem of federlism that are going to be major issues in any peace deal.

The latest info is that Zelenskyy would be in Washington and meeting with Trump to sign the ae Merals Trety between the USA and Ukraine, Ome can be sure the peace deal and processes involved wil;l als be discussed.


To claim that Zelenskyy is not beng consulted on any issues invovled in ening the Ukraine War/ is BS.

Of course he is consulted. The same way many african leaders are: to sign a document he had no say in the drafiting and commit his country. Fun times.

It sounds positive. I see no issue with Ukraine paying for ongoing weapons and military support. WW2 debts of Europe took many years to pay back to the US.


It could work out well because if Putin starts attacking mining places with American interests, the US will ramp up weapons support.


I don't like Trump, but if this works- then credit due.

BS galore as expected - the Rusian troops were withdrawn from Ukraine on insistence of Ukraine to participate in he ceasefire Itanbul initiative organized by Tukey. Theire were no Russia troops in Bucha for at least week before the bodies was discovered. and that is why the issue died a naural death already in 2922 abd nver elt toa ny charges laid by the Ukraine Government in that case, In any event a list of people whose bodies were discovered was never released because it was all popaganda BS.


The story of Russia kidnappig children was also garbage, There were no abduction of children in he war zone - especially since he Russians moved 3,5 million woman and children to Russia so as to keep them safe. The other myth was that Russia abducted children whose aoreents send them to Russia afte Ukraine banned Russia from their schools and parents sent their children to schools in Russia for education purposes and they did not want them to return to Ukraine after the invasion started, But the Ukraine Govenment insisted on their return and whn theat did not happen they claimed he children was kidnapped by Russia,


So please stop repeaing Ukraine propaganda on site - especially not BS like the above,

If Batshit 1, who's obviously in Russia's corner, accomplishes an equitable deal I'll congratulate him & our sycophantic band of Tpanzees.

Honest to god, if Ukraine were removed from the equation, I wouldn't give a fck who the POTUS is. I'd prefer a Dem but the US will survive whatever this current chaotic dictatorship delivers.

There would have been SFA negotiations with Kamala as POTUS ..... that's the point.

If people on here had their way, she would be running the US right now ...... and just sit back and imagine what a complete and utter clusterfuck that would be, not just for the American people, but the world in general ...

Yet as Draad said.... 75M people voted for her...... which is beyond scary

Couple of things.

Putin rightly will never surrender the East Ukraine as it is populated by Russian who were killed and persecuted by Zelensky and his Nazis - Azov Battalion.

Secondly, Trump admitted it was very hard to reverse what happened on tbe battlefield. I said from the beginning that Russia would win the war and they have. How utterly delusional the clowns posting here were! Bwahahahahaha.

Thirdly, President Trump will have to make do with the minerals and Rare Earths found in what remains of Ukraine.

Fourthly, Russia has offered the US Rare Earths and minerals and Trump, as part of normalizing relations with Russia, is getting a trade deal going with Russia.

Fifthly, the Globalist narrative that this war was the fault of Putin and suddenly started for no reason when Putin sent a small expeditionary force into Ukraine, is now in tatters. More and more people are now talking about how the Bear was provoked. Congrats to Mike and Beeno for having the clear thinking and objectivity and being properly informed on the matter.

So now we have that rediculous hatter Blobbrain being told by one and all on this thread what a total jackass he is. But Blobbrain is just experiencing the very beginning of being mocked. The revelations that are coming out are going to blow this daft dupe of the Marxist Globalists sky high.

Will he follow Doos into self imposed exile I wonder. He has no self awareness and a very thick skin so who knows.

Meanwhile the wins for Trump keep coming.

Appaently major progress h as been amde in negotiat ions already ude way ad Macon and S ta mer beleive thata ceasefire may be implmented within he enext two weeks,


Maybe the media would know today abou proress sice Zelenskyy arrived in the USA yesteday fr his emeting wh Trmp today.


Next week is h ime fo a meetig with President Zi and Trump is likely to meet pesonall y wih Putin within he next tw weeks


Insofar as the negotiains are concened, neither Russia and Uraie would no e eveyhing they want, For he record Tump prefers a pemane settlement and that would elave the Crimea o remain Part of Russia,


There is another issue of importance thugh and that is Russia ahas much more rare earth minerals and apparetnly they want a simila agreement as Ukraie to mine those minreals thna the gaement on teh issue negotiated with Ukraine and that is likely to be part of the upcoming meeting between Putin and Trump.


The fact is he outcast will be Germany ecause Gemany was found meddling in the elections in Romania where they want the present unpopular President in charge and try to get rid of the more ppular candidate they claim is supportd by Putin. It is another version of the Russian Hoax - but Germany has been given a lecture in their conduct in Romania by Vance and the new Geman Government .Coalition is not ging to last long - the fact is the Bavarian wig of the Paty is fed up with Merzfor alining hmelf with the Geens - a deah enence for any Par y in choos ith Greens and Merz will find h is undrminig his own Par being in liaison wih he Greens if the Sociaist and Free Democrat fate in the last election is borne in mind.


Th e EU membes are in terms of their Trrety not allowed tosign trade deals - it must all go through the EU. They include a myrid Green uiues that Trup wil not tleaee and trade treaty will neve be signd In fac trade reay wa fa advanced when Trump ldcft he WH - but as pe normal the dementia sufferer did no folow up n that either, So it seems that Mer and Bden are on the same thnking line and that is going to Merz being remved by the CDU- CSU lead sooner han peple hink, So Merz time as Chancello may be ended as ely a this year.


The USA is not going to leave NATO and the requirement is going to be that Germany and other NATO countries will have to upgade their armies by spending at leas 3% of there GDP on defense and not 1.7% is at present. Gemany will end up being isolated in the EU, especialy insofa as the potential tadeal with the U SA is concerned/

BUCHAREST, Romania -- A far-right populist who won the first round in Romania’s canceled presidential election last year was stopped in traffic by police on Wednesday and taken for questioning by prosecutors, his communication team said.

“Calin Georgescu was about to submit his new candidacy for the presidency,” his team said on Facebook. “He was taken in for questioning at the General Prosecutor’s Office.

Mike this guy Georgescu is a Nationalist /Populist against the Globalists entrenched in Brussels. I was very pleased Vance called them out for overthrowing an election result they didn't like.

Face facts these Globalists are tyrants hating, democracy, free speech and the rule of law.

Russia will not give up Crimea or the 4 Russian Oblasts (provinces ) they have taken. All are Russian populated. Secondly, Trump will not be back stop or France and Germany etc. Trump has told these war mongering loons that if they want a fight with Russia they go go to it but American troops will not be sent to Ukraine.

So its as certain as anything can be in these times that Ukraine will permanently lose Eastern Ukraine and Crimea. But that may not be all they lose. The Poles and Romanians have valid claims to parts of Western Ukraine,.

Also what is certain is that whatever remains of Ukraine will not be in NATO and that Ukraine will be non aligned. I agree with all these things and have stated this from the early days o the war. Russia's peace terms hare and have been very reasonable.
