I know it’s extortion, but if Trump thinks he’s getting a deal he will definitely defend Ukraine. Might be the least bad outcome for Ukraine.

And the elements arnt even the rare or valuable part, its the processing. Just be sure not to make Cuba's mistake and put a damned expiration date on that lease.

Shhhhh don't let the orange thing know that. I bet it thinks rare earth is rare.

The US government doesn't care about expiration dates on leases.

Up until a few weeks ago they were usually pretty meticulous about that sort of thing. Going forward...who knows.

Always get payment up front with Maga the Hutt. Could still work "the rare earths are in Donbas, you'll just need to liberate it first"

All the better because it's true I believe
