Trump says he wants Ukraine's rare earth elements as a condition of further support
-
Yes and no. Some is, yes, but a lot isn't. After all how do you think ISIS was able to get those black hawks running in the first place?
And if you've ever read through leaked training manuals you'd be shocked by how easy it is to get around whatever DRM some stuff has.

They should sell Hunter's laptop to him instead. Or the definite proof of pizzagate. Or whatever else cheap bs will convince him.
-
They should say "ok", get the aid, win the war, then refuse to pay. Everyone would love that trumpian tactic "it's just business, mate"

Germany is soft on Russia. It would be very hard without their support.
-
Rare earths to begin with. There will be more demands.

Or like buying weapons? Just bartering for commodities?

I hate you got making me laugh

Russian oligarchs export grain from Ukraine and gangster Trump wants some 'rare earth elements'
-
Holy duck he's a small man
-
After the war, just tell Trump that the rare earth materials have strange properties which make people within a certain radius more attracted to people of their own gender.

And there it is. This is why Nvidia head met with Trump. Fuck this shit my god someone please tell me what the fuck I can do to stop this shit.

I actually think this is Zelensky manipulating Trump. From Ukraine's point of view, this is win-win. They get continued military support on terms that Trump is likely to champion. The rate earth deposits are mostly in Donetsk and Luhansk, so Trump has an incentive to not just give all that territory to Russia. And finally, this will mean post-war investment into rebuilding the bombed out industries in the East.

The US military literally has non-repairability as a key point of current national security risk. They were actively involved in right to repair stuff because of it. I cant be fucked to find this rn but im sure its not too hard to find.

As long as they don't start demanding Ubisoft earths.

I believe that Putin has pushed and directly and indirectly supported Trump, to weaken the minority world (aka "the West"). This might actually backfire now. A autoritatian regime lead by Trump is much more a wild card than the USA was before, because he doesn't follow a predictable pattern. At least thats how the situation seems to be to me. Maybe I am not seeing the big picture here.
