uh that may be part of his calculation here is there are some in ukraine and it's i think far from the majority but there are some who would rather never give in and keep fighting to the death no matter what and so um that may be part of his calculation maybe not but i think

Well, I'd be very interested to see after, especially yesterday where he said the war is going to continue for a very long time. And then Trump denounced him for talking like that even. And all this, the break is getting solidified and things can change quickly. There's so much at stake that people can say sorry and shake hands and do different things and maybe try to get back on the same page.

But, you know, as we're recording this, essentially his stance is we're going to keep fighting without you and you can't make peace without us. And so who holds the cards now?

That just seems crazy to me. That could have been a translation mistake type of a thing, too. Possible. Yes. So don't fight with the president and vice president when you don't speak the language properly, right? As you already said, they're like, are you sure you're fluent enough to get in this crap right now in this situation? And so that was a huge error to do, right? To say, look, JD.

And, but then importantly, what was the statement? He was disregarding what he said. Like, listen, You're talking about negotiating with Putin, but you can't negotiate with Putin. You're essentially a fool to say that you can negotiate with this guy. He must be made to lose the war first, and then you have to give me a war guarantee.

And so that was when Vance said, not, hey, how dare you call me JD, but I can't believe he actually said, like, actually astonished. Wow, I can't believe you want to litigate this right here in public with us. Because guess what? You're going to lose the argument now. You might've had a chance backstage, I think was the implication there. But dude, you're going to come at me like this.

And, but the thing is too, They should have already agreed. You know, everybody talks about the deal, the deal, the deal. Well, which deal? You're talking about a ceasefire and Russia stays where they are? Or you're just talking about this mineral deal and then who knows what's going to happen in peace negotiations later, et cetera, et cetera, right?

Most of the actual minerals are not rare earth minerals, but there are other minerals in the country, but they're all under Russian control in the Donbass. So now I think there there must be some east of the river there, but mostly it's wheat fields. And those have already been gangsterized by Cargill and Archer Daniels Midland and Monsanto Company back in the Obama years.

So I don't know if they're still there now. There might be biding their time until the. war ends to go back in and monopolize all that grain, or triopolize it, I guess. But it used to be illegal for foreign multinational corporations to come in and buy up all that Ukrainian grain. But America just overthrows the government when the wrong guys win over there.

So they changed the law to make it okay. So that's a huge part of, you know, I don't know exactly their role in lobbying for the war, but it's a huge part of American-based multinational corporations' interests in Ukraine is all that grain, not just the potential natural gas resources and coal and iron and whatever in the East.
