The watered down US/Ukraine Deal has created a new US colony in Europe. Greenland fell by the wayside and would have been a far cleaner and likely more valuable deal than Ukraine. Unfortunately, the only difference between Ukraine in 2014 and Ukraine in 2025 – is who is running the show. In 2014 – it was Soros et al. In 2025 it is Trump et al. Same deal, different names stamped on the graves. The most significant aspect being the rare earth minerals that may – or may not even exist.
These minerals are critical in the manufacture of – everything including; all weapons and all tech. The US has little, China has most, and time was NOT in Trump’s favor. Sitting perilously over the new $1 trillion defense budget, these minerals are essential in order to re-load a viable military inventory in the event we want to take out The World … Lesson Learned: Civilizations didn’t die off because of climate change, they died off at the hands of the biggest marauders. He with the biggest stick – WINS.
An embarrassing revelation that apparently accounts for ¾ of human brains. WAR was Biblical. Humans were created to War each other. You can’t have peace – unless first you war. You can’t have love without first hating. The nihilism is depressing.
Who first proposed the existence of rare earths in Ukraine? Who started this hubrub? “Reports from the National Institute of Strategic Studies, BBC, and the Al Jazeera indicate that Ukraine has potentially significant rare earth resources.” The basis for these claims is generated by Soviet era geological surveys done over 50 years ago that were potentially ‘flawed’.
Russia has rare earth mines in the Irkutsk Region, Lovoozerskoye, Murmansk Region, and Siberia. NONE of these regions are remotely in a grid that might include Ukraine. The National Institute of Strategic Studies is Ukrainian, located in Kyiv, led by Oleksandr Bogomolov. His degree is in Arabic linguistics. Obviously, the BBC and Al Jazeera are not geological references… either. And no one has conducted ANY testing to determine if the rumor is factual.
The reports that make the statements for ‘potential’ reveal the areas where possible, potential, maybe, mineral deposits, including rare earths, are located – are now in regions under Russian control. Art of The Deal = Due Diligence. The only operational mine is owned by an Australian company, Volt Resources, whcih holds 70 percent of Ukraine’s major graphite operation. The Zavallivsky mine has been active since 1934, however its output value is under $18 million.
Meaning, Trump may have signed a Deal that is worth $-0- and was sucker punched by Zelenskky and his European Deep State Moles. Meanwhile, Putin knows this too and is watching as Trump makes dangerous threats against Russia which could completely wipe out Trump’s credibility and upend Russia. The Mineral and Oil deal calls for the US and investors to rebuild Ukraine … the same deal put forth by EU. A deal that was supposedly brokered between Zelenskky and Lindsey Graham months ago to destroy Trump.
The $12-$14 TRILLION worth of reserves was manufactured, there is zero evidence of any rare earths. The purpose? To force Trump to make a deal and continue to fund Ukraine via US TAXPAYERS.
The deal, authored and signed by Scott Bessent and Economy Minister Yulia Svyrydenko states that a reconstruction investment fund will be created to attract western money in a 50/50 partnership which eliminates all previous loan obligations Ukraine has to the US, ie $300+ Billion. Income from the fund will not be taxed, and the US will re-continue providing weapons.
Problem? Ukraine already has a Reconstruction Fund… It’s address is 211 East 43rd Street, 7th Floor, New York, New York. It is managed by Pavlo Kostyuk, an economic major from Rutgers University. NONE of his listed previous employments exist.
According to the BBC, without ANY geological studies or analysis, has determined all the rare earth deposits are in Crimea and Donetsk. The obvious strategy would thus be to force President Trump into a war against Russia over rare earth’s in regions now owned by Russia while claiming the rights belong to the US. A wholly Deep State move to once again create WWIII.
Given Bessent’s former employer was Soros Fund Management… It isn’t looking good…Back stabbers United. I wonder if any of those Humpty Dumpty spiffy expert economists berating Trump thought to warn him about Due Diligence…
I understand what rare earths. It is a row in the periodic chart. But the term is commonly used for other minerals. We do not know what is actually there. We do know that Trump paid nothing for the deal.
What a circus and Trump is walking around with blue chalk on both shoulders, carneys call that marking.
Were you attempting to make a comment and contribute to the discussion?
For cough, my comment was in conclusion to the article.
I’m afraid people smarter than Mr. Trump are playing him by appealing to his vanity. He wouldn’t be the first.. not by a long shot.
“Nothing new under the Sun” (Tszu)
I am not afraid that this deal cost the USA nothing. Give us a laugh, how is Trump being played?
Trump is nothing new? Your attempt at equivalence has failed. Before Trump, there was no effort for peace and no effort for the USA to be compensated.
I agree, Trump is a dummy on this one. Heard yesterday about signing a deal with Ukraine which I snorted at as any deal with that crackhead Zelensky (no puns intended) is laughable. And haven’t those mineral rights if they in fact exist, already been “sold” to at least a half dozen other nations already. So either Trump is losing his mojo or he is being played for a fool. I was extremely disturbed when I heard that Trump was berating Putin over military actions he was taking against Ukraine. What is he crazy? Kiev used to be the capital of old Russia and personally I wish Putin would just go and stomp all the Nazis along with the Zelensky regime to smithereens. I was so hoping that mother Russia and the US could unite against the globalists on so many fronts as to destroy them. The two largest super powers giving the 3rd finger. But it seems he is allowing himself to be played by the neocons. Catherine Austin Fitts has predicted he will bring in the control grid of the globalists, allow bitcoin or some such to become the CBDC and move closer to Rome as his Christian Nationalist evangelicals will set up a strict counterfeit religion of the Omni God for all faiths, not to mention a digital Inquisition to murder any naysayers. IOW, the Mark of the Beast. It will not be a difference between right and wrong, it will be the difference between right and almost right. So what can any of us do except wait and prepare.
My hunch is you never had a mojo and are the fool. Oh sure, you know better what mineral rights exist in Ukraine, more than the international business man Trump. No sale. Trump is negotiating peace, which require rhetoric, and yes you are disturbed, you know all about minerals and mineral rights, but do not know how negotiations work.
You heroine Fitts is a RINO with a history degree, you sure do pick your experts well, and nice job veering off the subject. You play a fool well. Oh sure blah blah blah Trump will alter the world’s religions and implement the CDBC he is totally against. You are a babbling crackpot.
Buried Fortune: US Finds $8.4 Billion In Rare Earths Sitting In Coal Ash Landfill” | [03/24/25]
https://alethonews.com/2025/03/23/buried-fortune-us-finds-8-4-billion-in-rare-earths-sitting-in-coal-ash-landfills/
“For years, the United States has depended on imports of rare earth elements, the critical materials found in everything from smartphones to renewable energy technologies. But in a surprising twist, researchers from The University of Texas at Austin have discovered that a massive domestic supply has been sitting right under our noses all along. Trapped within the country’s coal ash deposits lies a staggering $8.4 billion worth of these essential elements, a finding that could significantly reduce dependence on imports and reshape America’s approach to sourcing critical minerals.
Coal ash, the powdery byproduct left after burning coal for fuel, has long been considered an industrial waste product.
However, scientists have now identified coal ash as an abundant and accessible source of rare earth elements.
These elements are crucial in manufacturing batteries, solar panels, and high-performance magnets.
“This really exemplifies the ‘trash to treasure’ mantra,” said Bridget Scanlon, co-lead author of the study and a research professor at UT Austin’s Bureau of Economic Geology.
“We’re basically trying to close the cycle and use waste and recover resources in the waste, while at the same time reducing environmental impacts.”
Striking gold with global implications
The study estimates that U.S. coal ash contains 11 million tons of rare earth elements.
That’s nearly eight times the country’s known domestic reserves.
This is the first national assessment of coal ash as a resource, presenting a new way to strengthen America’s supply of critical minerals.
Unlike traditional mining, coal ash extraction has a key advantage.
The burning process has already separated the minerals from their original ore.
This reduces the need for energy-intensive refining steps.
