I don’t think I can add words to this as he said it best…

While I have picked at many of these topics, and was about to write something to put this all in a comprehensive view. But i found someone who had done this just before I took to typing and likely did a better job than I would have done. For 3/4 of a century, most of the world and more importantly our largest assets of friendly trading nations have grown and prospered because they not only knew that they could trust the US for, how far and how deep as well as the US to them. While Trump may in the end, even if he does not keep tariffs on the slate for our closest trading partners, has damaged this relationship permanently. As you will also see in the business world, they like reliability and steadfast positions makeing the relationship predictable. Unpredictability makes investment decisions slow or halt, which will eventually show itself in the US economy, not that you can’t see signs of it more immediately. This whole mess mow has a divestment in some US defense contractors in favor of European defense contractors. And that will eventually mean less control of what happens with weapons and who develops the better systems in need. Need I remind anyone that just 6 years ago, Trump himself negotiated a trade deal with Canada and Mexico, or should I say he tore up the old NAFTA for a new MCA. And now it is he himself, out of the blue is breaking it. That is just how Putin makes peace deals. So can you even trust his written deal ? And you can clearly see that 18 of the most influential nations of the world do not trust Putin’s peace deals. They have only been designed to stop a previous bad plan as they regroup to do it better latter. Know that you will never, ever regain the level of trust the US had in the world, not that a good face will not be painted on future progress. But it is perhaps a good thing for Europe as they quickly realize how much they have relaxed and became overly dependent on the US. But it does come with consequences for the US economy.
Really, you should look at this very close. Europe now can not rely on US nuclear defense so much so and so quickly they are going to build their own. So much for limiting the number of nations that have nuclear capability. There are so many far reaching, not clearly visible implications to what has happened in the past weeks, some of which many of us can’t directly see. We will see it when it happens I guess. All of the staples that kept the world together as a complex working part are now in question. Europe is definitely better off in the end if they can fill the potential void quickly enough. And the US’s role in the world is diminished as you might expect. I will go so far as to make this bold statement… Meet the NEW leaders of the FREE WORLD
Why merge USPS with the US Department of Commerce ? To save money ? It still takes the same amount of people to run it. You could just shave the workforce and take a hit with every late or mis-delivered package. What is it you are eliminating to save money ? The guy running it ! You are not going to like this, but to put it in one sentence…. It is about control. And the do as I say cabinet. You will understand this more the closer we get to the next elections. Watch as some states restrict when a post office delivered ballot is allowed to be counted. All about those mail-in ballots and a legal way to not count votes in areas that do not benefit you. Observations of late…. Whenever Russia feels things are not going it’s way, it lashes out at Europe and the west in general. The other is that 47 recently tried to quell the friction in questioning if the US would come to EU defense if needed within accordance of article 5 NATO. I am not sure the rest of NATO should relax any, for 47 changes his tune on a dime. While this is the only and first support gesture he has even made toward NATO countries, he has spent the last almost 40 years in the reverse direction without good explanation (since 1987). Why should anyone believe he had a change of heart with one statement. It’s not like he is saying why he was wrong or misguided for 40 years. Europe should play all of this as if the US will not be there for them or Ukraine until something else is clearly evident in deeds. The mineral deal is just a mineral deal with the US. No mention of security provided by the US thus far. And now the US can not be a honest broker for peace for it has a vested interest and benefits but Europe will need to do the dirty work of protecting UA for those minerals to be available to the US. US profits if the EU does the work ? I believe 47’s thinking may head towards supplying Ukraine with a large loan that can be repaid by minerals at best. That we will have to see to believe. Something will likely be unveiled today. Just observations. No ‘wishing’ included. There is a difference in a commercial entity who wants to purchase land/mineral rights of the land owners for development OVER The government ceasing the land to make a political agreement where the legitimate land owner gets nothing but screwed. All Zelensky needs to do is say that the nation will accept foreign investment from ….. ? Company’s would pay for the necessary things to harvest this, not the government. Compare that to the deals being sought. Sound democratic ? Free enterprise ? So, if you owned land in southeast Ukraine, are you going to give up your ownership so easily for your land and your mineral rights ? Have you ever thought to look at who is the beneficiary of these deals and compare them ? But one side is not telling you because they know you will not like it in advance. And for no other reason, you can’t pick on what you don’t know. What is there ? And the bigger deal, unlike most of Russia who does not have the infrastructure to get at the minerals they have, Ukraine is easy with ports in the Black Sea and a road and rail infrastructure. RU has $80 Trillion in mineral assets. But can’t get at them easily. But more important if they did, they don’t have the sea access to move them outside the country in places that can’t be cut off for their bad behavior by the west and they know one day they will try to achieve. They need to take them in advance. We have no assurance of what 47 would do with those assets… Exactly who would get them ? The US is not in the business of making gas or oil or batteries.
Europe needs to step up this game and provide some tax incentive to company’s that would seek to make a deal for these minerals to give Ukraine a future economy after the war. or be faced with trying to support it in other ways to keep it stable. After all the US gave China ‘most favorite trading nation’ for about 2 decades. look at it now. Free enterprise is a tool to help you solve your problems if done in a controlled way.
