This creates a very strong argument for Trump to negotiate to keep as much of that annexed land under Ukraine as possible.
It also makes providing more military support for Ukraine a financial transaction. We can continue to provide billions in order to get minerals worth trillions.

The USA signed a deal that convinced Ukraine to hand over their military deterrents for security.
The transaction was signed. Why do billionaires love to renege on deals?

Bu!!sh💩t.
What the fuck are you thinking? Trump would
love that suggestion 😡
Which is why Cuban
is wrong to suggest it
Or is the billionaire finally pushing its way thru the veneer?
The mineral rights of Ukraine are worth an estimated $14T.
50% of this (US share per agreement) is $7T.
We have provided approximately $100B in aid to date. Authorized more. And even the majority of $100B is older equipment.
Anywhere else this is called EXTORTION.
If someone beats you near death and I come along and tell you hey I can help you but only if you empty your bank account and give it to me you.
Think that's smart or disgustingly abusive?
Sort of like a policeman telling a woman that is being bashed that she'll have to give him a blow job before he'll protect her from the bashing.
Billionaires are a malignancy on the human race.
Thousands of Ukrainian people have been slaughtered. Russia fudging invaded!
Leave the Ukrainians with their minerals because they will need it to rebuild.
And that seems like a fair deal to all sides??
Smh at most of his comments lately…doing a great job as the devil’s advocate for the dumbest shit I ever heard.
We need rare earth minerals that China is no longer exporting.
He was a Dolt, then an Insurrectionist, now a Traitor. He who consorts with this enemy is a TRAITOR, he sold out the country.
"Eggs" Benedict TRUMP for breakfast enjoy your meal, sorry but you deserve it.
Now what can we do about it.
But then he'd be fighting for the Russians. Just like Trump and Musk...
Mark is a different kind of Billionaire..He actually cares. Try looking into the Cost Plus Drug program he set up so that people like me can buy cardiac drugs at an affordable price...He is not a bastard...
2) Ukraine should not have to give up resources for help from allies.
3) Trumps has said he'd block Ukraine joining NATO.
Thank you for attending my TED Talk.
He’s always been a bastard. He was only cosplaying as a decent human for awhile there and he managed to fool a lot of people.
He sucks.
He’s a fucking prick.
Let's threaten an ally with death at the hands of our adversary unless they give up all their greatest natural resources worth multiple times our aid?
People like you are what happened to the native americans in this country.
Cannot fking believe i thought you had any decency

He’s being a Thug for Capitalism.
The video is pinned on my page for viewing.
Terrifying.
The *authority* he showed was stunning.
He's gonna be a sociopath.
Since when did a dictator honor elections?
He has multiple ways to stay in power - e.g.
- cause fighting in the streets and invoke martial law
- run as a VP then have his elected president step down
- or this (which I believe is the most likely):

Donald has hired Michael Anton, (Claremont Institute 😵💫) again, this time as Director of Policy Planning at the State Department under Rubio.
Wth is wrong with you?
You just want to be mad at everything.
Try google.
You wouldn't see enough profit from that for a very long time and most of it would go to keeping up with that infrastructure.
If they cannot make it themselves, they will sell it and use the proceeds to reconstruct their country. If we take it away we will be preventing their reconstruction.
This is not a war only between U and R. If U had not fought, R would have taken over U and marched to the next country.
Another “thug for capitalism”.

We, the US, created the “border crisis” by destroying everything that didn’t fill the oligarchs’ bank accounts — and now we refuse to help fix these devastated nations.
We also screwed China, Haiti …
Plus there was the Iran-Contra thing ..
the worlds resources. That’s the struggle facing humanity into the 21st century. Politicians get rich while destroying the environment.
He’s being a Thug for Capitalism.
any deal for mineral rights goes through Ukraine. otherwise it's just theft.
2. Their entire supply of rare earth minerals is not worth trillions, even assuming you could extract it all instantaneously.
3. You know Trump isn't thinking like this.
“If you take your conviction about what is right and just out of the situation, you’ll realize that western leadership has been the only thing that’s given you (a human? A woman?) a voice.”
2) Pretty much, yes. Unfortunately, there are some ends that justify the means. Yes, each side thinks this, but it is my assertion that the western way of being leads to better net outcomes, hence my reference to the 1st amendment.
3) human
I recognize the point you’re making about western society. There’s been a confluence of and resistance to ideologies that has led to this moment.
Hell, we extorted our own people for less.
- GREATEST extortionist for some of the most outrageous demands in the history of crimes against humanity, but also the
- MOST INCOMPETENT extortionist because he has zero chance of achieving his objectives.
Cuban was ignoring the immorality of Trump, and focused on outcomes.
EXACTLY! There was not anything negotiating about it!
Cuban looking for an in to kiss some Trump ass.
It’s brilliant.
Need better arguments on this, Mr. Cuban. 🤦🏻♀️

'No Chance' Ukraine Gets Back Russia-Annexed Lands—Blackwater Founder
After all these years on this godawful planet it occurs to me that for all the flowery talk about justice & rights & freedom. We have no value.
You seem definitely not to be part of the philanthropist kind.
Another greedy billionaire sell out.
Who knew🤷
The human race is royally fucked when all of our "leaders" view every aspect of life as a monetary transaction
Sometimes you have to cut the rotten piece of apple away so you can eat the rest, and plant the seeds.
certainly none of this fantasy nonsense
If you don't look at all the variables, then you aren't a "realist".

#SmedleyButler
That's what thinking is...
the deal specifically excludes America military support & any guarantee against future Russian aggression.
Its also poor taste to charge a bill after the fact.
If the deal guaranteed safety & was fair to Ukraine, it cld be how Trump protects U
But that doesnt appear to be reality
Thinking doesnt mean hes right
he means he's processing the facts & offering conclusions.
His thinking can be flawed
but its perhaps more flawed of u to reject it outright as not even fair play in critical thought
Stealing from war ravaged countries.
How low can you go!!!!!!
Did we not forget that Africa still exists?
How do you think we got to this point?
You think Modern Civilizations hands are clean?
Get a grip.
Guess what happens in a few years when China invades taiwan.
You think they're just going to keep doing business with adversaries?
Is EU gonna let Taiwan fall without a peep for some minerals?
Now we gotta deal with Trump transactionalism.
Again China won't sell while invading Taiwan unless
THe EU are cool rolling over for the CCP Dictator.
I thought "DEMOCRACY!
Thick as mince.
Getting the minerals in a respectful way - WTF!!!!
One of the primary reasons for the US' outwards facing foreign policy and geopolitical strength is the economic benefits that flow into the US
Call me naive. I am from a European country who has donated the most (per capita) to Ukraine - WITHOUT asking for or expecting anything in return. It's citizens drove hundreds of kilometres to Ukraine to pick up civilian women and children to house them !
Also, Trump never keeps his promises whether they’re written in stone or not.
Anyone that loves trump & wants to steal land in Ukraine can fk off
The idea that we help a country in return for their mineral wealth is absurd
To the extent there is easy money there, they will need ALL of it to rebuild their own nation
Explain that further to me
Sure, try and negotiate minerals, but at least invite Zelinsky to the negotiating table as well with the stakeholders
https://kyivindependent.com/we-are-now-producing-more-than-americans-eu-defense-commissioner-on-europes-arms-rebirth/
Is that clear enough
Perhaps it's you who is being "purposely dense " ?
The quicker America can get the madmen under control, the quicker we can stop this slide towards revised colonialism
Mark’s attitude makes us LESS SAFE.
Eff this man. Really.
That’s a huge problem in this country, we really need to focus more resources on teaching scalable and critical thinking behaviors from an early age. This comment section is horrifying and not at all surprising.
‘It was hypothetical.’
‘He didn’t mean what he said.’
He thinks we’re stupid. Block his ass.

https://bsky.app/profile/nerdyash.bsky.social/post/3liq2kpwbmk2q
up with this deal..
He has not agreed to it
Trumps mouthpiece is saying he will take the deal - meaning it’s extortion! Trump won’t protect Ukraine - he wants 50% of the profits to payback what US gave Ukraine for past help .. how is this good for Zelensky?
Be smarter Mark
You're spot on.
How dare you.
https://www.prophetyeshua.com
So for me, I’m sorry. I’m out.
1: It sounds reasonable.
2: Trump can't be trusted.
3: I wonder if Trump is negotiating for Putin.
Not everything should be about $$$—let’s not excuse the orange one for undermining our core values on the world stage.
Those values were the foundation of a once-great nation, and no amount of precious minerals is worth giving them up.
