Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Friday, February 21, 2025

The Trump administration appeared to be making progress on Friday toward a deal that would give the United States valuable mineral rights in Ukraine. The movement came after a week in which President Trump, initially rebuffed on an agreement, turned up the pressure by assailing Ukraine and suggesting he would side with Russia in seeking to end the war there. Mr. Trump boasted at the White House that he was nearing a deal that could bring up to $500 billion to the United States. "So we're signing an agreement, hopefully in the next fairly short period of time," he said. President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine likewise said his country was working on a draft agreement between the two governments, seemingly tamping down the tensions that had flared with Mr. Trump over a deal.

Our nation is stealing the wealth of Ukraine.

It is my understanding that this is worth MORE than the reparations inflicted on Germany after WW1.

And Ukraine is the victim.

This is despicable.

This is beyond disgusting.

We are profiting off the war crimes of Russia and the deaths of 10s of thousands of Ukrainians.

I am at a loss for words at how vile this act is.

I was taught at a young age that stealing was wrong.

Fuck this cunt of a president. He is an immoral fuck

And fuck all of you magat scum for selling your souls.

So how exactly would that work? I mean Lewzer is obviously lying, but there must be some kind of logic to it.

I am truly ashamed of my country

You should be ashamed by FDR too then.

FDR stripped the UK of all its gold and negotiable reserves before agreeing to Lend Lease.
He told them Canada was not suitable as a destination for their monarchy in distress, only the Caribbean.

FDR deliberately structured US intervention to doom the British Empire and take it into American receivership.

UK only finished repaying WWII debt in 2006.

Merely more Whatabouisms... and less brains. Were it not for logical fallacies, he wouldn't be able to post at all.

Leave it to magat scum to try and deflect to justify this act of wanton theft from a desperate country suffering under the criminal invasion by an authoritarian dictatorship.

This is nothing but Shitler pointing the Russian gun at Ukraine and telling them to give the US half of their mineral wealth or we will allow Russia to take all of Ukraine. It is brazen blackmail. It is morally reprehensible.

Let me remind you of a few facts.

In 2022 Ukraine lend lease bill was passed unanimously in the US Senate on April 6, 2022, and passed in the House of Representatives by a vote of 417"10[4] on April 28, 2022.

No strings like Shitler is retroactively putting on a democratic victim of authoritarian aggression is in there.

And do not for a second fool yourself, this will NOT benefit America, this will benefit the corporations who will go in and strip mine Ukraine of its minerals and the second they are doe, Russia will invade and take the rest because I am sure Shitler has no plans to ensure Ukrainian security.

Oh and fuckwit, Europe has provided MORE in defense aid to Ukraine, but shitler is leaving them out in the cold.

This is vile, destabilizing, and immoral and right in line with magat scum values.

And, yet again, I am proven right in my predictions.

I predicted the wholesale transformation of our country.

We have officially disregarded our allies and embraced dictatorships. We are abandoning Europe, antagonizing our neighbors and embracing Putin.

That realignment of our foreign policy is tremendous. 80 years of stable and prosperous alliances thrown out the window.

And fucking morons are cheering.

China is swooping in and taking advantage of our withdrawal of USAID and throwing tariffs on developing nations and threatening to invade sovereign countries. While we dump immigrants on these countries and threaten tariffs or military action, China is building ports for trade.

Fucking morons will wonder 5 years from now, why Vietnam, Africa and South and Central America have all these trade agreements with Brazil, India and China and we can't sell shit there or acquire any of their natural resources.
