The minerals deal made no sense.

1. If you wanted minerals because of strategic concerns, you would not source them from a State which has been invaded by Russia. This is not a stable, reliable source.

2. The deal we saw details for was a jointly controlled fund for investment, where 50% of profit of State owned mining and related infrastructure would be deposited. There's no mention there of mineral supply to the US.

I did not understand it, and I still see no sense in it.

What was actually going on?

We saw Donald try to bounce Z into signing : "you have one hour to sign this".

That obviously shattered any trust that might have been there.

I don't think we ever saw the text of that first deal.

Then the second deal was just this jointly controlled investment fund, which looked like a face-saver.

In any event, USA is now out of the game.

A coup is in the process of occurring, and once the judges and courts are subverted, will be complete.

All this with the deal and D and Z is basically water under the bridge; EU has to stand on its own two feet now, and that's the situation here and now, however we got here.
