Minerals deal, which is now being called an investment fund

Curious to read the full deal, but if you go by what FT and Politico are reporting (and what Ukraine officials are saying today), Trump WH made many concessions and Zelensky got most of what he asked, except for the big US security guarantee. It looks like Trump will now be sending money and weapons to Ukraine. A win for Z and the MIC.

👉Keep in mind this is going off what MSM and Ukraine officials are saying. We need to wait for the deal to be published and curious to see Kremlin reaction.

Three big Trump concessions:
Via FT: The fund “will be jointly managed” with neither side holding a dominant role, a concession Kyiv persuaded Washington to make after it had originally demanded sweeping control over Ukraine’s natural resources.

Via FT: The agreement includes no provisions on any Ukrainian debt obligations to the US.

Via Politico: The U.S. will contribute to the fund through direct payments or through new military assistance, according to the outline.

Is Britain risking the sinking of it's aircraft carrier, HMS The Prince of Wales?

I just read via Pepe Escobar the statement by the Yemeni spokesman, stating that they had forced the American aircraft carrier, USS Carl Vinson to the far north of the Red Sea.

Britain's aircraft carrier is on it's way to Japan via the Suez Canal. So it will be by-passing Yemen. Since Britain is currently bombing Yemen I am not sure that this is a good idea.

Couldn't they decide that they needed to pay a goodwill visit to Nigeria, or Sierra Leone or Ghana? Turn around in the Mediterranean and avoid the Red Sea?

Just saying.

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
