The friend who sent me that link added: "The country will be rebuilt by Blackstone, but rebuilding entire Ukrainian cities wouldn’t go over well with ordinary Americans, so they invented the rare earth minerals scheme."
There aren't dedicated RE mines. RE metals are in the ore processing byproducts of nickel, copper, platinum, etc. mines. And the elements are not really rare at all. They are called that because to get to the final, refined pure product involves processing and reprocessing 8 - 12 times. It is energy intensive and dirty. That's why 95% of RE laden ores are shipped to China to be refined. They dominate the entire industry.

Sorry you "quote" what you already posted. Forgot about that stupid caveat.

In other words, holding no cards, Zelensky stopped bluffing and folded. The art of the deal. It may have felt humiliating in Kiev, but was most humiliating in Brussels. It was a PR defeat for Old Europe on a Waterloo scale. After dwarflike Zelensky was tossed out of the White House, he’d fled straight to Old Europe, where he was swaddled in royal regalia, hugged until he squealed, serenaded, and promised undying love. European leaders convened ‘emergency’ meetings, solemnly vowed to take up the slack on Ukraine aid, and spewed defiant statements at the United States.
But any fantasy that Europe could possibly pick up the slack winked out of existence yesterday, right after Zelensky caved. Old Europe was exposed as a spent-force, a fraud, and a toothless lion, like a hogtied Scooby-Doo monster after its rubber mask gets ripped off at the end of the episode. Look! It was just Old Man Simpson the whole time!
Whatever influence Old Europe might have had, it’s over. It was always astroturf.

It was going well, until Zelensky went into a Putin rant, and tried to push NAFO propaganda about starving Ukrainian POWs, etc. Trump put up with it.
Zelensky was being a stubborn ass and while it was cool he fought his corner hard, Trump lost his Temper with him a little bit in reaction to a reporter's question (I missed the question as I was in the John).
Telling him he is NOT in a position to dictate anything, that Ukraine was in big trouble, etc.
This is like watching a table of Mafiosos and the Big Don of New York (pun intended) is telling the Little Don of St. Louis what is going to happen. That Big Don is making a Deal with Chicago Don, and the St. Louis family ought to be grateful they're getting anything instead of whacked out.
