Golden waterway > golden eurasia

wait.. doesn't Russia have a ton of rare earth minerals already? I thought it was the US that had barely any and we buy them all from China.

so putin definitely has something on trump

>>512988656
Yes they do. But Trump is a retard who think solutions always come down to gifts and money. And that is why Russia is going to win against The US bigtime. Long story short, Russia is the one with the PhD in this case and The US didn't graduate high school, to put it that way.

KYS.

>And that is why Russia is going to win against The US bigtime
We will see. In this particular case you may be right, but overall Russia has lost to the US in so many other ways throughout history. It could have been a great country, but communism ruined it and it is an irrelevant country in many ways. It just draws attention when it becomes a bully and invades peaceful countries. It has no real global brands or high technology, and basically just sells things it finds in the ground.

Rare earths will never be extacted from Alaska.
Ukraine doesnt have a single rare earth mine and they never will.

Its a meme to put the green energy cunts into a feeding frenzy. The have lied to us about rare earths in Afganistan for 25 years, no one questions it.
To this day not one ounce of lithium has ever been extracted from afganistan

Global brands maybe, but high technology absolutely.
It's one of the few countries with a domestic aerospace, nuclear, shipbuilding, pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
It's a very competent advanced economy despite its exports being energy focused, which is why it doesn't just collapse from sanctions.

Can you even imagine how many people you would have to bribe in ukraine for mining permits?

>Ukraine is believed to have four areas with substantial deposits of rare earth ores, according to Erik Jonsson, senior geologist with the Geological Survey of Sweden. “There are four slightly bigger deposits: Yastrubetske, Novopoltavske, Azovske, and Mazurivske. All but one of them seem to be now within or near the zone that the Russians control, as far as I can tell,” says Jonsson. “And when it comes to resources in those deposits, I mean, we have numbers; yes, that’s nice. But we have no real, detailed, outline of how those numbers were arrived at.” The numbers are believed to come from Soviet surveys dating as far back as the 1960s.

>Even without a war to contend with, it would take at least 15 years to build a mine to begin extracting rare-earth ore on a large scale, Lifton notes. And according to the terms of the draft critical materials deal, private companies would have to invest huge sums, likely a billion dollars or more, to develop rare-earths mines in Ukraine. It’s a possibility that Lifton, an IEEE member and former metals trader, dismisses as absurd. He notes that a multinational mining company, Rio Tinto Group, has spent close to US $3 billion on potential mine sites in Arizona and Alaska and still does not have the necessary licenses and permits from the U.S. Government to begin building a mine in either place.

So it's the same rumor but through another news agency.

News agencies are circular, they cite each other.

Win what? Russia is our partner. Stop living in the past.

Remember when they told us the Iraq war would pay for itself?
Then we built oil pipelines to Turkey and Israel?

>wait.. doesn't Russia have a ton of rare earth minerals already?
Yes but Russia is like an African country before the white man arrived, they have no ability to get their own resources out of the ground.

>>512987860 (OP)
Art of the deal.

What has the US lost so far in this war? Russia’s lost a million men if you take the high end estimates, their military is completely incapable of mechanized warfare and Europe’s military stockpiles are also depleted and part of replenishing that will come from US arms manufacturers. Top it all off Europe is basically cut off from Russia and will be entirely cut off by 2027. All it cost was a couple of billions to pay the Ukrainian government to keep the war going.
