Broe is very upset that Trump wants to include minerals in any USA-Ukraine deals. Yet, Zelenskyy happily provides the relevant map, and is so happy to go along. Why? ALL of the relevant natural resources have Russian troops atop them, right now. Yes, they are in Crimea, off-shore of Crimea, under the Sea of Azov, or in the Donbas. (!!!) Zelenskyy's front line is protecting the wheat and sunflower crops. (Dnipro watermelons, too.) Trump's larger goal is to get rare earths out of Xi's clutches. Ukraine and Greenland both have them, and Xi wants them, too. Xi is deliberately under-pricing his rare earth exports so as to cripple any strategic competition. He previously shut down America's only rare earth mine - - years ago. Xi is also keeping secret all of the chemical engineering required to process rare earth ores. They now all come to Xi to be processed -- even ores imported from overseas. This is never mentioned in the popular news. The buzz is that Red China will run out of rare earth ores in ten-years -- they are going at them at that tempo.

Putin lives in an information bubble. Trump's rhetoric is designed to LURE him into negotiations -- which Putin is very reluctant about -- and he should be. During the penetration of Putin's info-bubble REALITY will hit hard. It is doubtful that Putin knows anything at all about how BAD things are for his 'project.' Famously, McNamara, LBJ, and Adolf kicked out of their presence ANYONE who broke their illusions. Stalin and Mao were just as bad -- as was Saddam and Pol Pot. So: " Speak up and tell me the truth. " "My apologies Lord Vader." Putin is actually afraid of Trump -- which is the real problem here. It's what's driving Trump to pitch himself as 'Mr. Reasonable.' Whereas the FSB has told Putin look what he's done to Trudeau! The FSB is also terrified of Putin -- should he ever figure out how BAD things are -- and how involved the FSB is. Kursk is an FSB operation. So, it's rather tough to blame the army. Oops. Zelenskyy is hitting a raw nerve every time he advances in Kursk.
