Stuff About the Minerals Deal The Deep State Might Kill You for Knowing
The pencil shortage, averted!
President Donald G. Trump has asserted that he wants to recover the US $300 billion and $350 billion has given to Ukraine since Ukraine launched its vicious, unprovoked attack on Russia in 2002.
The presumably prestigious German think tank the Kiel Institute estimates the US has actually aided Ukraine to the much quieter tune of $119 billion, but grossly inflating figures to America’s (or, more commonly, his own) advantage is one of the reasons President Trump won the 2024 election in a landslide of the sort never seen in America or anywhere else in the solar system.
It’s not as though that rude little ingrate dictator whose English is hardly better than that of one of the disgusting brown-skinned mental patients who swarmed into the USA while the Biden administration was busy taming inflation is likely to find $300 billion between the cushions of one of the sofas in Ukraine’s version of the Oval Office. But the two leaders were thought only last week to have agreed on a deal whereby Ukraine would give the USA permission to dig up $500 million worth of its rare earth minerals. Which sounds exactly the sort of deal President Trump might have the gloat-a-thon to end all gloat-a-thons over, as it means the USA comes out $150 to $200 billion ahead.
But of course there’s a hitch. The greedy little Z-Man wants security guarantees.
What for? asks President Trump in slightly different words. That Americans will be digging up your minerals is all the guarantee you need.
Given that a lot of the Ukrainian minerals are on territory covered with land mines, why not give the undocumented aliens Border Czar Homan rounds up in sanctuary cities a choice between (a) Guantanamo, (b) the hellholes from which they fled, or (c) the land mines?
Free labor!
Should President Trump inexplicably not embrace that idea, I can’t imagine President Zelenskyy agreeing that the presence of American miners is going to deter President Putin from re-invading Ukraine. When Americans are killed by Russian missiles, President Trump will point out that they knew what they were signing up for, and that he isn’t about to jeopardize his and President Putin’s bromance over the deaths of a few suckers and losers.
Call him a moron if you must. Provided he’s able to get the minerals shipped over before Putin’s attack, though, it’s a win-win for our ingenious president. He gets the minerals and doesn’t get scolded by Mr. Putin, and hard-working American families are in no danger of running out of pencils.
Marjoran: Murka's New Class Couple!
That’s Brian Glenn, who, speaking for all Americans, demanded an explanation for Mr. Zelenskyy’s undignified attire at his gang rape in the Awful Office on Friday. The hot little blonde with him is that indefatigable fighter for American values, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R), of Georgia.
Many of the mineral deposits are in the eastern part of Ukraine (i.e., territory under Russian control). Trump is a moron, of course, and whatever he touches seems to spiral downhill (or down-drain) rapidly.
