MikeDunnAuthorWondering why Trump has been making such a big deal about Ukraine's rare earth metals? Minerals that are potentially available, at best, 10 years down the road. And at worst, may not be commercially viable to mine at all, considering none have been mined, to date, and all knowledge of their existence is based on 50 year old geological surveys done by the USSR.One reason, according to Antonia Juhasz, is that it's actually a FOSSIL FUEL SHAKEDOWN. <a href="https://antoniajuhasz.net/article/the-price-of-peace-zelensky-isnt-getting-what-he-bargained-for-with-trumps-so-called-minerals-agreement-but-putin-and-big-oil-might/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://antoniajuhasz.net/article/the-price-of-peace-zelensky-isnt-getting-what-he-bargained-for-with-trumps-so-called-minerals-agreement-but-putin-and-big-oil-might/</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ukraine</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/russia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#russia</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ussr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ussr</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fossilfuels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fossilfuels</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/minerals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#minerals</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#trump</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/zelensky" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#zelensky</a>

If Ukraine and the west capitulate, I’ve no doubt Putin will invade again within a few years.
