Trump demands $500B in rare earths from Ukraine for continued support
-
Wouldn't be funny if Russia interjected "Hey, we have rare earths. Want some?"

Also what Russia did to Ukraine after Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in exchange for a pledge to never invade.
-
It is, it just doesn't have the will to do so at the moment.
I hope they muster their political capital to back Ukraine.
-
It could. But the political system, which I'd like to keep btw, doesn't allow a switch to war economy.
People like their social security, culture support and education and don't want tax raises. Politicians can't do what they want without losing support of the voters. And then there are the agendas of the many political parties in many countries...

"worst thing in history", no.
"Terrible and exploitative, and untrustworthy besides"? Yes.

What Biden gave them was peanuts. Enough to not lose everything. But not enough to take back the territory when the opportunity was there, and seemingly not even enough to hold the line as it is anymore.
Make no mistake, America NEVER had any intention of helping Ukraine win.
