Trump fucks up again. Ukraine negotiation goes sideways

[KimAwakened]

Everybody prepared now for VP's sherade of pretending to consider "peace plans" seriously..?

He's about to put on this huge show of giving grave consideration to his man in Washington's ideas and being so, so worried about possible extra US sanctions (which will never happen)...

... when recognition of his annexation of the Donbass and Crimea were the his aims all along. Together with, of course, an insistence that no US or European troops be placed in Ukraine to guard against what comes next...

Everyone ready for the next exciting episode of the Vlad and Donny boy show..? You're sure to enjoy it. It's all been so carefully planned...

The maps have already been drawn. World domination is their goal. Hang on to your ass. Read 1984. Shit is unfolding right before our eyes.

It's fascinating taking a step back and looking at the 'big picture'. Bear with me here..

• 1 out of every 3 new cars made in China are EVs. (1 out of every 5 in Europe and 1 out of every 10 in Murica for comparison).
• There is huge demand for EVs in China and suprisingly high demand in Russia for Chinese EVs.
• Chinese EVs are in demand in Russia due to low price. China has 3 EV models and are unlikely to change in the next decade or so because of the economies of scale are so high.
• Chinese EV manufacturing is limited only by lack of lithium batteries (which are also a primary pricing concern)
• Lithium EV batteries are being replaced with state-of-the-art metallurgy over the next 15 years in the west, but will be in high demand in China for the forseeable future
• Ukraine has the second largest reserve of lithium in the world behind Greenland.
• Over half and perhaps as much of two thirds of Lithium reserves are in Donbass province in eastern Ukraine.
• Donbass was purged of Jews who made up much of professional class in 1940s by Nazis.
• Russia filled vacant Donbass professional class post-WW2 with Russian geologists and engineers
• As a result Donbass has 40% Russian language fluency, most in Ukraine.
• To Putin, Donbass is the crown jewel. Russia can mine Lithium and sell it to China....both countries profit from foreign trade.
• There is no viable ceasefire proposal that Russia will accept without cessation of Donbass to Russia. Everything else is secondary.

Rob holds a large chunk of the world bullshit supply.

( ukraine is less than 2% of the known reserves of lithium)

Top 4 Largest Lithium Reserves by Country

2. Australia. Lithium reserves: 7 million metric tons. ...
3. Argentina. Lithium reserves: 4 million metric tons. ...
4. China. Lithium reserves: 3 million metric tons.

Sen. Mark Kelly, war vet (Navy pilot 39 combat missions), spaceman, politician, stands up for Ukraine, pissing off musk enough to call Kelly a 'traitor':

Just when it seemed the Democrats had fallen and could not get up, Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., went to Kyiv and told the world that Ukraine’s people and brave soldiers deserve our moral and material support.

"The world will become a very cold and lonely place if we continue this ridiculous ‘screw you, go it alone’ foreign policy,” Kelly posted on social media. "It’s dumb and it won’t age well and puts you and your kids and your grandkids at risk. America is the strongest, richest country in the world.”

If the Republicans are going to wing it on American foreign policy, the Democrats have more than a right to challenge them. They have a duty.

Traitors don’t show up for duty.

Mark Kelly just did with a wrench. And he’s holding it defiantly against the chainsaw.

Ukraine will accept a 30 day ceasefire.

Will Russia? That is the real question.

Yep. Ball is in his court now.

India, by far the biggest importer has been paying in Rupees since last summer. This does nothing. Russian oil is currently not trade in US dollars. Russia was kicked out of SWIFT so the banking is already impacted. China and Russia set up a Ruble/Yaun banking swap system last year. This does nothing to further hurt the banking system in Russia.

Trump is a bit late and a dollar shy....

I agree. Ukraine has made an unconditional offer and he’s rejected it. Like you, I doubt he will play unless or until he has no other choice.

 

[KimAwakened]

Donny boy knows the Art of the Deal.

The ex-KGB thug-in-a-suit Putin knows the Art of Dirty Tricks, the Art of Honey Traps and the Art of Blackmail.

And the prize for having the intelligence to guess who wins does not, decidedly, go to those who voted Republican in November...

What's on the tapes, Donny boy??

Of course he won't, because his Amerikkkan lap poodle says that he and Putin are the simply the hapless victims of Hunter Biden's "Rusia, Russia, Russia" conspiracy.

In Bizarro World, Putin is the victim of Ukrainian aggression.

Thanks for agreeing that Trump's just blowing smoke for his base.

And BabyBoobs is blowing DonOld’s "smoke" for him (and Putin) like a good little MAGAt traitor simp.

It's no good pleading with VP, Donny boy. He's going to use them against you.

The US is important for 155mm ammo, HIMARS ammo, air defense missiles, fancy bombs and ammo, spare parts and intelligence.

No continuing military supplies, no leverage......now you know why Trump resumed intelligence and military supplies. It gives the US a little leverage going forward

By abandoning support for Ukraine, Trump is making WW3 more likely......

‘Talk about an invasion is everywhere’ — How Lithuania is preparing for war with Russia​

The Baltic States are particularly paranoid, given their history with Russia. And Russia and Belarus hace large scale "military exercise" scheduled for Sept 2025 - the same pretext that was used for the invasion of Ukraine.

Now, with Trump reneging on assisting Ukraine to defend itself from a Russian invasion and walkig away from NATO, Lithuania is preparing for the worst.....

You - and people who have similar national security priorities as you - who voted for DonOld, will have to live with this…

I don’t envy you having to face your conscience on the daily…

That makes a nice headline to post on FaceSpace but it’s light in facts. Here is a more Subjective breakdown from the CFR…

Let’s see if you can spot the “errors” of your post….

Edit: oh, and compare the $$$$$$ spent from our EuroTrash buddies and American Taxpayers.
