The best deal in town...

 

"This is the best deal in town. Trump knows it, and the smart folks in our country know it. As I have said, time is not anyone's friend right now. Well, except the Grim Reaper. He is having a heyday right now in Ukraine. He has been for three years now. Let's put an end to it."  

I really don't understand why Zelenskyy does not understand. Rather than being coddled and supplied with numerous weapons of war which will continue to kill Russian soldiers and allow Russian soldiers to continue to kill Ukrainian soldiers and civilians, Donald Trump had a better idea. And it was nothing less than brilliant. For some reason however, the simplicity of this very strategic move towards peace, escaped the Ukranian logic.

Ukraine has said for a long time now that they are loaded with rare-earth minerals. Like maybe $15T of them. That may or may not be accurate. Some are spread all over non-occupied Ukraine, and some are within the Donbas area of occupied Ukraine. Because of their locations in non-occupied Ukraine, should Zelenskyy had signed the agreement in the Oval Office, as soon as Putin agreed to a cease fire, American technologists and miners would have been crawling all over Ukraine. Trump would have warned Putin that Ukraine is now off-limits for any more fighting. Not one bullet should be fired in Ukraine now that Americans are living and working there.

How do you get American boots on the ground security without putting boots on the ground? By having a joint mining agreement such as the US presented to Ukraine. It was also step one. Trump could not approach Putin until this agreement was in place. But hold on - it is not just the Ukrainians who did not understand the pure logic in signing this agreement - it was also the loony left who live in this country. And the loons who live in the EU.

Because over 1,000 soldiers are being killed every week, time is not Trump's friend. Trump needed to step up the pressure a bit. Yesterday, he put a halt to anymore weapon deliveries to Ukraine until this matter is settled. That will put pressure on Ukraine as well as the EU. Why the EU? They can't fill the void of not having the US on board. If Zelenskyy was smart (and I am really starting to wonder about that one), he would be on a jet headed to Washington on Wednesday to apologize to the American people and then sign the agreement. But he would let Trump know today, so Trump would announce it in front of Congress tonight.

This is the best deal in town. Trump knows it, and the smart folks in our country know it. As I have said, time is not anyone's friend right now. Well, except the Grim Reaper. He is having a heyday right now in Ukraine. He has been for three years now. Let's put an end to it.
