Ukraine Rejects U.S. Demand for Half of Its Mineral Resources
-
US support was never out of the goodness of their hearts, there was always going to be a price to pay, but of course trump goes about it in the most hamfisted way possible.
-
So now the US are officially running a protection racket! You really do have mob bosses running the place.
-
The US has always got the dollar-as-global-reserve-currency out of its military spending, which is a large part of how post second world war America accrued a huge portion of unearned global wealth. Trump, those that voted for him, and those that spent decades creating this situation for personal enrichment are rapidly hastening the end of this situation.
-
Hopefully Europe steps up
-
It's not just the act of spending on the military, it's about control which they get through the use of the military.
-
not without russias complete collapse at least
Your terms are acceptable.
-
I have this terrible feeling that Turkey would veto, even if somehow we could distract Trump with enough McDonald's and fake tits to try to get it done.

Would love Asylum. Scared for my daughter growing up in this country right now. Realistically we'd have a hard time taking it and leaving our families, but I told my wife anything is on the table if our daughter needs it.

now
Michael Parenti was saying this in the 70s and 80s though
-
Agreed. Would you also agreed to the complete collapse of the genocidal empire of the USA?
-
the US government is absolutely hostile
Ukraine should join NATO
Huh?
-
If the USSR couldn't defeat a bunch of peasants
What historical event are you referring to?
If the EU is smart — and not a bunch of capitalist oligarchies masquerading as "democracies" —
Finally it's dawning on the average western progressive

They have been doing it with Arab countries for decades. Pay up or get sanctioned, bombed, invaded and couped. What some in the West wrongly perceive as bribes are actually tributes to avoid becoming the next Iraq, Syria or Libya, or worse: Palestine.
-
As a US citizen, it's never been hostile towards me. In fact, I would imagine most people have had little to no engagement with the federal government (outside of the routine items: taxes, etc...) Now, their state government may be a different story.
-
What do you think NATO is?
-
It doesn’t really matter what happens with nato, trump is technically commander in chief of the armed forces and just the chaos alone of the first few hours and days is where it makes all the difference. Jan 6 for example would have looked a whole lot different under a different sitting president where the national guard and military were sent in when they should have been, because as it was, disaster was minutes and tens of feet away that day.
-
He refuses?
Time for a new coup and then Nuland to make a phone call again so they can chose a more willing Banderite president.
My bet is on Zalushny. -
Sorry, what does Munich have to do with this? I'm not connecting the dots.
-
Munich hosts the annual Security Conference, where power brokers gather to carve up geopolitical pies. Ukraine’s minerals are on the menu, served cold with a side of imperial ambition. The suits in Munich aren’t just sipping overpriced cocktails—they’re brokering deals that turn blood-soaked trenches into corporate spreadsheets.
The connection? It’s where the U.S. pushed its extortionate mineral “deal” while Ukraine countered with demands for actual security guarantees. Munich isn’t just a city; it’s a stage for this theater of exploitation. If you’re missing the dots, it’s because the script is written in fine print only lobbyists can read.
So, Munich matters because it’s where sovereignty gets auctioned off under the guise of diplomacy.
