Quasi-liberal isolationist Michael Tracey on X just now. Has Donald Trump double-crossed Putin and the right-wing isolationists, entangling the United States even more deeply in Ukraine due to the mineral deal? Even some Swedish media outlets seem to think so, and people over here have been in some kind of panic mode for a week or so!
Michael Tracey on mineral deal
My guess (for all its worth) is that Trump still wants to divide Ukraine between himself and Putin, and then perhaps make mineral deals with both. But, as usual, the problem is that the Russians are unlikely to accept such a deal (Trump´s adversary China is already helping them extracting minerals in the Donbass). So what will the mercurial leader of the free world do then, I wonder? Do we even want to know...
