If I read the mineral deal right, and I could easily be wrong, it sounds like the less military aid Ukraine gets from the US, the less the deal costs Ukraine. So I suspect they're going to lean on EU deals as much as possible.

And while a peace deal might stop open warfare, I expect Kyiv will have a strong motivation to over arm themselves, probably with the assistance and collaboration with Poland, until Putin is dead. After that will depend on his successor.

Like 70% of Ukraines rare earth minerals are on land occupied by Russia. If the US wants those, it needs to get Russia out of Ukraine entirely. Also, it’ll take probably 1-2 decades before any operation to extract the minerals is underway. Future presidents who aren’t major pieces of shit can rip up the deal.

USA corps got rare earth minerals. Now Ukraine gets $50 mn? Was it worth it?

They got a guarantee to future access to rare earth minerals, which Ukraine can easily just deny after the war.

They can, I just dk how prudent it is for the foreseeable future.

Sadly, it probably was, they're backed into a corner here and trump is a predator who will exploit people that appear to be in a weak position.

I can't argue in good faith, there.

All the Republicans who have been complaining about giving them money, are they still going to complain about this?
