    I accept that the dirty rock I was thinking about voting for would have made a bad deal too by asking for nothing. I admit it. But every once in the entire history of a people, there comes someone who is more idiotic than a dumb rock could ever wish it could have. That’s us right there. Best country in the world… Worst asshole president a country could ever have. We’re at 3 years and 10 months to go.

    It’s not necessarily terrible deal making, we might not be privy to what Putin has offered to trump personally in return. Maybe a dacha here, or a casino in Crimea?

      Nah, what he promised him is exactly what we see: $500B in rare earths, every year. Trump’s always been a terrible dealer, and this is no exception: he doesn’t do back-and-forth, he just tosses his entire hand on the table and says “here’s what I want”, then bullies you into accepting. If you don’t, he’ll either harass you, or back out saying YOU sabotaged the deal because you didn’t give him what he wanted immediately.

    He is simply doing whatever will make him the most money, same as always. Musk, Zuckerberg etc who are in boot-step with Trump are doing the same. Capitalism moment.

    It’s not senseless and it’s not capitulation, it’s collaboration and it makes perfect sense to him, since he is doing it intentionally. Krasnov is a traitor to the USA and the entire Western world.
