> That minerals deal was going to be the first step toward peace. No, it was the first step toward conceding everything to Russia, also conceding to an outrageously overzealous US (for reasons unclear to anyone outside the Trump bubble), with a guaranteed future war with zero protections. If they wanted to give Russia everything they wanted, they could've done that years ago, and not given up minerals to the US. This would be an impressively terrible deal.
