  1.  @qltcn  So what? He said the equivalent of "oh, for fuck's sake" because the person he was talking to was being a moron. That shows he was frustrated, but I don't see "impressed" or "intimidated".

  2. Did you quit the US military because of its constant violations of the rule of national sovereignty?

  3. He does work for the Danish government (as a military officer and analyst), so I imagine that saying very...undiplomatic... things in these videos could land him in hot water even if he's technically speaking as a private citizen.

  4. That is what Trump initially wanted, it's not what ended up in the agreement. US companies have to pay market prices for Ukrainian natural resources from ventures covered by the new fund. Since the purpose of the arrangement is to ensure US access to these minerals, it's mostly just a case of trying to keep money within the US economy instead of flowing out of it. If an American company buys minerals from a Ukrainian-American joint venture, that reduces the trade deficit, but it doesn't give "half the profits" tax-free to the US economy. You know, since the buyer is also American. "PS: Can Ukraine (and basically no one else) also exploit the USA and keep half the profits, tax-free? If the answer is no, then clearly Ukraine is simply not an equal, but the junior colonial partner." This doesn't track. Ukraine is making this deal in exchange for continued US support in their defense against Russia. They're getting something they badly want in return. We can argue about how balanced or beneficial the deal is, but the US aren't simply unilaterally helping themselves to Ukraine's wealth and then justifying it post-hoc (which is how a colonial arrangement would work). That's what Trump wanted, but he didn't get it. In the context of the war with Russia, Ukraine is a client of the US (and of the EU), not a "colony".
