Zelinsky: The End Is Near

[jas007]

Well, it gets more interesting by the day. Zelenskyy will supposedly sign onto the mineral deal with Trump on Friday.  And it now looks like Russia wants a partnership with the US to mine Russian metals such as aluminum and the rare earth minerals.  So Russia and the US will be in business to extract minerals, and Ukraine gets to keep what's left of its country.  NATO won't be allowed, not will EU troops, which cannot possibly stand up to Russia without US support, which will be nowhere to be found.  Good deal for everyone but Ukraine.

America entered a long war in Vietnam because it feared the domino effect of Asia becoming Communist. Thailand was its red line. 

Now, the west sees that Russia wants to own its former East European colonies and America wants to appease Russia. Ukraine was the red line, now it's like a buffet of eat all you can. 

I worry that we are underestimating Russia.

Red lines always remind me of Obama. Boy, he really loved him some Russia, yes? Not as much as Iran, but certainly more than Ukraine, don’t you agree?

I heard NATO troops in Ukraine and Ukraine in the EU were both agreed to. 

 

Would you rather have China mining in Russia?

I know this from personal second-hand experience.  My GF at the time was rotated into and out of the "combat zone" afterwards, along with thousands of other brave soldaten, for a week to "earn" a campaign badge.

 

Too bad she didn't break a nail filing paperwork, could'a earned a purple heart!

 

as a result of American military involvement in Lebanon and Grenada, the various service branches have authorized the largest batch of medals and campaign ribbons since the Vietnam War

I don't know where you heard that, but mark my words, it's not going to happen.  What remains of Ukraine will be secure because of an ongoing mineral mining operation, with the US and Russia in business together.  

 

I could be wrong, but that's the only thing that makes sense.  That's what will happen.  NATO is almost history and the EU cannot afford a war and does not have the military capacity for a war.  And Trump isn't going to fund any of it.

You should try reading State Department press releases rather than RawStory.

 The plan was never to help Ukraine defeat Russia, just greatly weaken it to the point that the Russian army couldn’t threaten NATO countries for a very long time.

Expand  

 

That makes no sense.

 

If wee, tiny Ukraine was strong enough to hold back and weaken mighty Russia, then Russia was never a threat to NATO.

As long as I know of, UK didn't become the stage of land battle(unlike continental Europe).

That's the difference(between WW1 UK and today's Ukraine).

Occasionally being air raided is one thing.

But ongoing army battle on its soil  is another.

Didn't the new Russian territories hold referendums and elections while being bombarded by the Kiev nazi apartheid regime?

 

They managed to vote even while being ethnically cleansed.

You heard wrong.

 

Russia has said many times Ukraine in the EU is fine.  Ukraine in NATO is not.  That has not changed.

 

As to Euro "peacekeeping" forces, that won't happen.  Camels have noses, and western governments are mostly agreement incapable.  There won't be a Minsk-3.

 

As to China mining in Russia, well, they're already there.  If you mean in the new Russian territories, why not if they have the technology?

Look like you are talking about "Referendum", intended to forcedly justify the takeover of the robbed land.

 

Even Poo-tin's ally(Kazakhstan）declared it won't recognize such a  Fake Nation(DPR,LPR)  mocked up in Rus occupied area.

 

And no other (proper)nations recognized it either.

Not Even China.

 

Fascist Regime under  in Moscow, looks like pretty isolated.

 

You can easily find out that.

 

Even if internet is strictly censored  your back home, you can easily do it if you are in Thailand.

The left will never understand the art of the deal. Trump is a master negotiator that makes fools of them every single time. It was obvious he held all the leverage and little Z had no choice. Watch them now studiously ignore their beloved Ukraine boondoggle ending and the hivemind move seamlessly to their next talking point.

Zelensky was used by the Biden admin, MIC, blackrock etc, they gave aid so as to basically steal the country, opened the farm land to be sold to foreign investment, the minerals was all part, Trump just brought it into the open. The East where Russin occupies is rich in minerals,
