RE: War to End this week: Announced at CPAC from WH Press Sec23 Feb 2025 10:29
I usually do not go into politics unless it is related to business. Trump is a businessman. It is definitely not his objective to give Ukraine out to the "pro-Russian vassals". He wants both Ukraine and Russia to be the US allies when it comes to the confrontation with China. Therefore, he pushes a critical mineral deal with the Ukraine, and Arctic oil and gas development with Russia, in order to cement the alliance. Both will likely succeed, despite the US is not going to profit from it economically. Under the US protectorate, Russia and Ukraine will be friends, not enemies. I would not be surprised if both Russia and Ukraine are accepted in NATO in a few years.
