Zelensky should now tell Trump: "After that undignified stunt today, you will get precious metals *only* if and when we are given enough weapons to defeat your boss at the Kremlin."

also the whole Canada/Greenland thing is actually very similar to this Ukraine shakedown. with the coming ice-free Arctic (that the Pentagon has been gaming for decades now) the more Arctic territory you have the more claim to MASSIVE undersea mineral rights.
this had Zero to do with minerals.. it was a planned skit to react angrily to anything so they would Have an excuse to stop all US aid to Ukraine.. I wish the press would get it straight: proof: https://bsky.app/profile/ogredragon.bsky.social/post/3lj7uiwe4hc2i read both posts 1 last Night saying the attack was happening 1 saying "COVER-UP
If more such show trial meetings are agreed between Ukraine and the United States of America, Zelensky won't have to waste time on it himself - Klitschko can easily take care of such whining wankers.
That is exactly what he asked, and why he didn’t sign it. As Putin/Trump wanted to talk about security ONLY AFTER Zelensky signs the deal. We want the security to be the FIRST sentences in the deal.
Zelensky should just picked up the phone, call the EU and China, and tell them that the first ones to pony up the money and weapons can have the critical minerals deal
At this rate, Trump’s border wall won’t be to keep people out—it’ll be to stop Americans from sprinting into Mexico like it’s the last chopper out of Saigon.
Hope they reinforced it, because a stampede of disillusioned ex-patriots in MAGA hats turned inside out might be hard to stop!
Considering most of these metals are located in the Eastern part of Ukraine, this argument makes a lot of sense
Also it would take over a decade to begin mining these metals (at great cost) so Zelenskyy, PLEASE use this as an chess piece to get something that's actually valuable from Trump
NO! Ukraine needs to not give their resources to anyone! This is extortion! What’s to stop anyone from doing the same to anyone? So proud of Zelensky- who’s the only President in that office!
All it would take is a handful of GOP. What do they have to fear? 24hr notice of impeachment, quick trial, guilty, march him out, arrest him, toss him in the back of C130, stuff him in a cell in Gitmo my Monday morning. Watch maga run scared Tues as dear leader is gone. See, that simple.
They should give us nothing for being decent world citizens and aligning with them along with all the other democracies. The idea that we should get something out of helping a distressed nation that's been invaded is insane.
No. I say Zelensky offer it up to any other country offering to help Ukraine in negotiations. Then dt loses the minerals and brag rights of ending the war. This is Ukraine's choice.
And Zelenskyy should hold on to the precious metals until AFTER they win. trump will think nothing of lying and instantly pull the deal as soon as he gets what he wants - just look at his long history of stiffing people. NEVER trust this orange dictator, never take his word on anything.
Better yet, Trump will now get his precious metals as highly enriched uranium (U-235 isotope of uranium) and plutonium (Pu-239 isotope of plutonium)...😅😂🤣
The minerals deal, it's said, may not to be possible. First, safety for workers can't be guaranteed. Putin likes to arrest Americans. Secondly, it may take some time for the mining to be operational, like, maybe 3-4 years?
Or Trump to Z: "after you showed up in my esteemed Oval Office clad in a ratty track suit, dressed like a drunken slob, you will get your billions when pigs fly....."
Here's the problem with that. If Ukraine loses, we'll just buy from Russia rather than Ukraine. We need to do what's morally right and forget about the minerals, but that's hard to do with an immoral leader.
I mean, America spent 20 years trying to defeat the Taliban and failed. Ukraine is a shitload tougher than the Taliban. To quote a big part of why we are here, “Good luck, Babe”.
Zelenskyy is a formidable human being. He was forced in a very difficult position to do the best he can for his country and his people.
He is the very opposite of the coward and entitled prick our country has elected, again, who has never sacrificed anything or ever served.
Nope, he shouldn’t make those resources available to the US at all. Trump attempted to force a deal without security guarantees and when Zelenskyy called his bluff, he threw a fit and behaved abominably. Trump will never agree to security guarantees, so no deal. Turn to Europe, Ukraine! 🇺🇦
Zelenskyy should now tell Trump: "I've been in touch with a number of world leaders, and I'm good, thanks. They've got my back now that they've pulled your knife out of it."
We already know how Trump would have handled the contracts for mineral extraction and processing.
1) Interested contractors buy tens or hundreds of millions of $$ on Trump digital assets or similar BS “investments”
2) Those contractors get the contracts worth billions.
As part of the trade war with the U.S., Canada must withhold strategic minerals from the U.S. and export tariff the rest of our resources (especially energy) so as to cause the U.S. as much economic pain as possible. There is only one thing Trump understands and that is, who "holds the cards".
Fuck that. He should offer a sweet deal to Western European nations (and Poland) for rare earths in exchange for massive military aid. There are many suppliers out there.
I always thought Zelenskiy's plan was to say "sure, we'll give you all the minerals you want" and then just not deliver. It's a very trump thing to do.
Now that your Prez has torched the Ukraine strategic mineral reserves deal with Ukraine I presume he’ll shift his attention to fifty-first-stating (or northwest economic zoning) Canada again. That is a problem for me.
Right? I don't understand why anyone would take the "deal", such as it was, that was offered. There was absolutely nothing in it for Ukraine. I would hope that FOTUS wouldn't even accept such a deal. Will be interesting to see what happens when Putin wants to take back Alaska.
That ship has sailed, IMHO. Save those resources for countries you can count on to provide you with both security and NATO protection. Tuck Frump and his pathetic MAGA.
Everyone saw through the bull. They destroyed more than just an ally. They lost all their allies, the mineral resources, the trust of the American people, and their spot as the greatest nation. They gained the contempt of the entire free world. And Putin made a fool of them both.
I wouldn’t even do that. It’s yet another Quid Pro Quo from King Felon. I’d tell him: “We’ll just keep our metals, thanks, and I’ll appeal to our NATO allies to help us defend our country from your boss Putin."
Trump doesn't want Ukraine's rare-earth metals; he doesn't even know what those are. Musk wants them for his battery businesses. Trump just wants land for hotels and golf courses.
tRump cannot be trusted any more than Putin. He has broken deals with other nations and is breaking contract with Americans left and right. Zelensky should not trust any deal
That's what I was thinking. You want our metals, you guarantee us peace and the defeat of the Kremlin. How can anyone call this a good deal. Come to DC and sign an agreement for $500B worth of your resources but we can't guarantee you anything? Trump is a liar. Vance is a liar as is Rubio.
Or they should have another press spray with European leaders signing minerals to them for their full backing and full equipments to end this war. Putin is on the ropes. Trump gave him breath. Go in now with the last dagger straight through the heart!
So much for "The Art of the Deal". The entire planet now knows the US administration can't be trusted or relied upon. Russia is celebrating. China is giggling. And the US didn't get access to the precious minerals or stand up for freedom. Pres. Krasnov couldn't have screwed it up worse.
There are plenty of experienced miners in US, Africa, Canada, etc. Zelenskyy could have a lot of help mining them for his own country’s prosperity. And sell them only to proven allies. That have not tried to bully him or swindle him.

So Trump expected Ukraine to give the US rights to minerals now for the hope of security support to be determined later?
What a Putin loving dumbass
The US will not be getting those minerals
Only Europe will help them now. :/

"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down that wall!" to
"Mr. Putin, may I suck your cock?"
Until they're gone, we're no longer the superpower we used to be. Now we're a water cooler joke.
Every decent person needs to write him a letter of apology
On one hand you have the end of president felon.
On the other no guarantees the puppet master won’t back out on the deal.
After all Israel is still at war - looks like the art of the deal isn’t about success.
We have watched him blackmail Ukraine too many times now.
