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.

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

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

Ever Trump press photo makes him look more and more like a 60s Batman villain. Louie the Lilac vibes.

I mean this could actually be a good deal? If Ukraine doesn't win they won't have the material to pay up. 500B would be a realistic number to drive out Russia and secure the border.
I must be missing some details that makes this horrible.

Fins didn't invite Nazis. Route to Norway through Finnish territory was prerequisite for much needed military supplies and weapons. After the germans were here they pretty much went where they pleased. No official military alliance was signed.

Only an idiot would think that Ukraine would actually have half a trillion dollars worth, and that they'd give it all to the USA even if USA blackmail them here. Zelensky will say lots right now to persuade the orange one. But he also won't be in power after the war to see it through, very few leaders are retained after any way.
Ukrainian neutrality was effectively guaranteed by America, UK, and Russia when they gave up their nukes. And there is also an economic clause to this agreement
