    It would absolutely guarantee bombings or attractive targets, just maybe not by the Russian military. You think the Ukrainians would look kindly on Americans stripping their country's wealth after humiliating terms were imposed?

    Do you think Ukraine didn't have a mining industry before the war? That we just discovered untapped minerals and now Trump himself is going to extract them?

    What on earth do you mean, "who is going to extract"?

    First words out of trumps mouth were insults. And it continued. Brian Glenn, a pro Trump reporter and boyfriend of MTG aggressively asks the same question.

    (Zelensky use to wear suits but claims his current attire is in solidarity to his country and soldiers in the midst of war)

    If the US is going to even just share in profits you don’t think that they’d have personnel on the ground there? I know your party likes to believe your intellectually superior but you are disproving that belief.

    And for your info Europe should have been pitching in 3 years ago when this started. Instead they relied, like the rest of the world, on the US to pick up the tab. It’s bullshit and needs to stop. We can’t save everyone.

    The last audit of important minerals in Ukraine was performed by the Russians many years ago.
    You can take that for what it's worth.

    The malignant narcissist and puppet of Putin with a psychological need for adoration thought that he had been disrespected and reacted in turn by trying to humiliate Zelensky. Ronald Reagan, Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy and Dwight Eisenhower are probably all rolling in their graves as a reality television star and failed real estate developer destroys their legacy and the roll of the United States of America as the Leader of the Free World.

    Starmer just this week finally says they are “ramping up” their assistance. No shit moron. That isn’t going to do anything to deter Putin. If you’d of already been doing it then maybe this ended under the last regime.

    This whole scuffle is about Trump wanting Zelensky to kiss his ass. Not wearing a suit. Not being thankful enough. Trump is a child.

    Still waiting to hear how it is in us interests for Russia to take over Ukraine and eventually some or all of Europe. How does this make us more safe? How does it help us economically? Show your work russophiles.

    I'd never claim intellectual superiority over anyone. But I'm starting to feel pretty confident about a knowledge gap over you.

    You asked how a country could possibly extract minerals when that country had a $12b mining sector before the war. What would lead you to believe Ukraine is lacks the manpower, equipment, and knowhow to extract their own minerals?
