Quick summary on mineral deal and other

US don't give Ukraine any security assurances but will support security assurances. It means if France gives security assurances to Ukraine, US will say good job.

Ukraine won't be forced to pay any debts to Ukraine but will pay goodwill sum as way to thanks US for all the help.

Ukraine will pay US from profit. This is a big thing since those minerals ain't worth 500 billions after all the explicit and implicit cost. Those resources ain't easy to get so a lot of capital and labour cost.

If resources are the goal then there are tons of better countries or artic where US and Russia agreed to co operate. Ukraine resources probably would be sold at lost next 50 years minimum.

But key part of that deal is the "other" Ukraine will give its infrastructure like ports in U.S. control

Here the deal chronology. Zelenskyy thought Trump is business man so he can frick him over and drag him into the conflict if he offers some arbitrary resources (those resources is what some Soviet researchers assumed is there 60 years ago) for security assurances.

He offered that deal to Trump and Trump told he will give support for assurance and Ukraine will pay debts and Zelenskyy told ok it's a deal. When he talked with some of his lawyers, they explained to him how Trump actually fricked him over so that's why Zelenskyy started bitching about no deal. But since Ukraine is super dependent on US he started to beg to remove debts part so now it's goodwill

And that's kids example why most politicians have laws degree and not political degree

And best part Zelenskyy came to US to sign that deal that would mean to cancel that deal he will need to open an US court

Why did Zelenskyy thought he can frick over a guy that wants him gone…

Zelenskyy has 3 enemies Porochenko, Zaluzhnyy and Trump
