    Yeah, we literally planned on going to Nashville for four days in April, that’s on long-term postponement now.

    They asked for this by re-electing that fuck, now they can start owning it.

    They're acting like petulant morons. Full stop.

    Vance is all butthurt because Zelensky didn't say "thank you" enough, and Trump says "this will make good TV".

    Insane.

    They are 2 pieces of coddled shit.

    I am glad that Zelensky didn't sign the deal as the deal is bullshit.

    You know what no one is asking?
    "Are there 500 billion dollars of minerals in Ukraine?"

    I work with mineral resources at the continental scale as well as policy. I have a map sitting in my office a group I work with put together of critical mineral resources in Europe. There aren't many known deposits of critical minerals in Ukraine. It just isn't the right terrain. The Soviets who were excellent geologists mapped it out well.

    And 500 billion is a fuck ton of money. I think people have lost sight of just how much that is since that dipshit Elon "has" 400 billion.

    Cerium oxide, the processed refined result of , one of the rare earths goes for 1600 USD a metric tonne right now. 500 billion worth is 312 million tonnes. The world produces about 290,000 tonnes of all rare earths each year.

    So essentially there is no way even if Ukraine had minerals to give to reach 500 billion any time soon and the deal was basically a way to fuck over Ukraine by giving them an offer they had no way to fulfill.

    Never mind Trump expected them to sign a deal they had no part in making in the first place.

    Zelenskyy's rollercoaster of facial expressions as Trump is actively sundowning and rambling about Shifty Schiff and Hunter Biden's bathroom is just *Chef's Kiss*

    People who like Trump will watch that and say how clever he is. How slick. Slicker than cat shit, maybe.

    I watched a minute. A whole minute. I spent that time focusing on Z's face, which tried to be straight but failed.

    I can only imagine how much that broadcast has further solidified the rest of Europe to no longer work with or trust the US.
