I’m curious on how the logistics will look for this.
Do the minerals get processed in Ukraine itself or would they send it to Russia? Or ship it elsewhere?
Despite Reddits narrative, this is a good thing. This will give Americans a tangible stake in the outcome of the war beyond just feel goods. If Europeans aren’t happy with the result, they should have taken better steps to prepare to counter Russia and thus had the influence to effect the war.
Gun to the head diplomacy > debt trap diplomacy
Good long-term deal for Ukraine. This is all very likely political theatre for local audience as well, the only studies they have showing these ‘minerals’ are from the Soviet era. Not to mention, if they had so many trillions worth of mineral they’d have extracted them ages ago. The corruption and overall poor corporate governance might’ve been deterrents to foreign businesses though. Overall this deal is probably mostly in Ukraine’s favour because all profits (or a significant portion) will be reinvested in Ukraine with the US managing the proceeds fund. Which is probably better.
So…Putin takes a quarter (more important one) of Ukraine, the rest will be extracted for Americans mostly …
And what did Europe get for all the help ?
Mastermind leadership right there, EU
Did they really, though?
All he needs to close it is Trump Tower in central Kyiv
Reading Bloomberg this morning, this whole rare earth stuff might be a mirage.
