Trump demands $500B in rare earths from Ukraine for continued support
-
Trump would walk into a coffee shop and threaten to buy out the place and fire everybody if they didn't sell him a cup at the cost they're charging.
-
This is a Red alert.
What he actually said, outside of the headline.- They might give us the minerals, they may not
- Ukraine may be Russian in the future, it may not
- either way, we (USA) have all this money in the country, and we're getting it back
-
Bullshit. Almost all of the aid given to Ukraine from the US is in the form of non-repayable grants. Ukraine doesn't have “huge debts” to the US. Trump wants to change this.
-
And a bunch of idiots would believe it.
-
Pretty much. But America doubly so
-
The art of the deal
-
Obama escalated Iraq and attacked Syria...
-
What a cunt
-
"I just do what I want" isn't a philosophy, because it doesn't give guidance as to what someone else should do . It's just childishness.
Even Randism / Objectivism stretches selfishness into "rich people should do what they want". Trump doesn't even get that far
I'll grant that the orange felon is consistently selfish, though.

Well, there also is a big amount of rebuilding to be done and no matter who would be in the US government, there would be a strong push for the rebuilding to end in factories, apartments and farms to be owned by US investors.
-
Iraq and Afghanistan are nothing like Germany or Japan and if you cannot create a stable government after 20 years of occupation, then there is no indication that more occupation would have done any better.
Frankly the notion that countries being invaded and have masses of their population slaughtered is "for their own benefit" is fascist talk.
-
we’re getting it back
Only an absolute ass would consider that a loan.
-
renege’s
-
That’s every country in the world.
Some countries operate as administrators of shared consolidated resources. Some forget this and become America. You'll spot the difference one day.
-
That has always been the plan, Ukraine proposed it way back. Art of the deal.
That's more than twice the Ukraine GDP btw
-
good thing the country has tens of millions of absolute asses
-
The entire war has always been about their resources

The entirewar has always been about their resourcesFTFY

That's the thing, those listed items arent rare earths, arent they?
As far as I know, Ukraine has some rare earth, but I don't think it's particularily much. So lets make him a deal on rare earths that arent really there.

extortion is called "demands" if you are powerful enough
