Ukraine Rejects U.S. Demand for Half of Its Mineral Resources
-
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.

I love going to the SanDiego area swap meets. There are at least 3 big ones.. National city, El Cajon and Oceanside. There, many people come haggle and barter to get used or grade B products. Maybe Trump should start there?
Anyone who has ever gone there knows that you don't go for the jugular of your cash cow. If you're a buyer, you wanna be a nice mosquito... Look around a few times to see what you wanna get, go elsewhere, and then come back. If you are selling, you don't kill the mosquito, buy you know how much blood to give. As a buyer you find a thing you don't want, which is similar to the thing you do want so you can trade down or somehow not show interest in the actual thing you want.
Now the entire world knows that Trump is an idiot and wants 50% of all natural resources. It could have been 90% of all uranium for example. Bug nah, look, here are all my cards! Take a good look see!
That's Trump's are of the deal and it's ass. It doesn't mater if he actually gets anything from it. Its ass. We lose, they lose, ruzzia wins. Maybe we should have a well trained Lego dealing kid to negotiate a better deal.
-
not without russias complete collapse at least
How far can that be anyway?
-
Theoretically maybe the "savior" won't shoot, maybe.
Look, it's not a good deal, but hey, I'm trying this optimism thing out. Don't think it's working.
That said, anyone who makes a deal with Trump hasn't paid attention to any of the deals he made in his last administration that he'll drop them when they're inconvenient.
-
The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan
-
Did the world already not know that Trump is an idiot?
-
too far, i fear
-
Since he showed his face probably.
-
It's like that crude joke
"Would you have sex with me for 1 million?
Yes.
How about for 20 instead?
No, I'm not a whore!
We already established that, we're now negotiating the price"First it was the rare earth worth X amount, now it's half. What's next?
-
Thanks. That said, those peasants were armed and trained by US forces.
