A Grandmaster’s Game : Chess, Trump, and the Russia-Ukraine War.

The Mineral Deal Gambit: A Sacrifice for Advantage
In chess, a gambit involves sacrificing a piece for strategic gain. Trump’s proposed mineral deal is just that — a calculated risk to deter Russia. Ukraine’s industrial regions, like Dnipropetrovsk, are rich in resources, and US involvement could transform them into a defended outpost. If Russia attacks, it endangers American stakes, triggering international consequences — a move akin to placing a queen in a position where capturing it costs the opponent dearly. Zelenskyy resists, warning against deals made without Ukraine’s consent, but McCune’s post argues he may have no choice. Without sustained US support, Ukraine’s prolonged war against Russia falters, making Trump’s gambit a potential game-changer.

Democrats told their stooge Zelenski not to accept the mineral deal

They wish to blame the failure of the world on Trump as Europe lets Putin have the Ukraine.

BTW, how much of all the money sent to Zelenski did he pocket?

It's not like they have DOGE to figure it all out.

Zelenski will be rich for the rest of his life, and understandably does not want the money spicket turned off.

But for the people of Ukraine, they will not be so lucky.

Just as they told Zelensky to walk away from a good peace deal right at the beginning of the war. The question is, other than their blood lust, what is it that the Democrats thought they were going to get?

It needs to be investigated.

All that matters is Orange man bad

Orange man to blame

Hitler is in the back pocket of the Russians, or some such nonsense.

Yes. That is the level of dishonesty that the left promotes, daily.

Well then, stop Orange man and all our troubles will end, that is, if you can destroy Bibi as well.

Only then can the world have Left wing utopia.
