  1. ​​ @Sam-sv4yy Look, Geopolitics is like a poker game - everybody is lying about the hand they are playing. Mother Teresa never got into Geopolitics and even she was not 100% wholesome. So the Germans want to extract maximum benefit? Everyone at the table does. Even Ukraine does, because their stakes are the highest. So, let's get real. Resource diplomacy is the strongest weapon in Zelenskyy's arsenal, and he'll be offering all the Western nations, or more acutely, anyone willing to secure Ukraine's future, time limited extraction and processing rights for Rare Earths and Raw Materials. And that's the language they all understand. So for the next 20 to 25 years Ukraine can repair, refresh, and strengthen themselves against all comers. The Ukrainians have proved they are no pushovers, and God Willing they can survive and protect themselves, against all economic imperialists, from which ever direction.

  2. We finished paying off our world War II debt in 2004. If that's recent, I'll be elected Pope at the next Conclave. Our relationship with the Americans is not predicated on debt, but on shared interests, and where there none, we should be cautious. The Special Relationship mularkey is just PR. The British and Americans are frenemies, because they both love money. Examples? Suez and the development of the Eurocurrency Market in London at the end of the 1950s, where private banks in London broke US capital controls to supply London with US Dollars, and UK governments pretended they knew nothing about it, and couldn't do anything about it, and if that little cabal of private bank had not let American Bilge Bracket banks in on the business, there would have been another diplomatic crisis between Washington and London. Don't be fooled. It's always been a marriage of convenience, and falling for the blabdishments of American billionaires helped to bring about Brexit, and Bojo desperate for a US-UK trade deal, and guess what? The Americans asked for terms so onerous, that Johnson has to give up on the idea of a trade deal. Nothing personal, but American governments were and are robber Barons as much as British governments were pirates. Trump is only distinguished by his lack of pretence, and British conservatives and centrists by their naivety and complacency. Zelenskyy and his people are no fools. They know the score because they have studied history, and they know why the war happened, and probably why they were helped in the first place. Everybody wants Rare Earth Minerals because the clock is ticking in climate change, and the destruction of the oil energy markets, and the Minerals in Ukraine are needed for the next revolution and that is Green Energy, because in reality there is nowhere to go if Earth's climate turns against us. And the develop of new computer chips relies on the same tech. That's why Russia invaded nothing more; nothing less. Ask the Russian speaking minorities in Ukraine, who Putin took their men of fighting age, and put them into the meat grinder. And let's not talk about Germany, because they're not to be trusted fully either to act in the best interests of Ukraine either. I pray Zelenskyy holds on, and Ukraine gets its freedom and sovereignty back. Fair exchange is no robbery, after all.
