That would be the smart move for Russia. Nice offset for US reliance on sole source Chicom metals and minerals. A better offset would be to mine in the US.
Vanilla ate my long response. This is getting stupid.
Anyway, TLDR, I wouldn’t read that deeply into 4d chess.
Trump is prying Russia off the Chinese orbit and giving them an offramp.
The 21st century is going to see a lot of shakeups as demographics and technology converge to destroy old powers.
Trump is doing what he thinks is best to position the US as one of the new hegemons.
IF the CCP can manage to hold onto power until AI and robots give them the replacement for a billion people they're going to control Asia including current Asian Russia. This is part of everyone's focus on rare earth's.
Europe is headed towards the dustbin of history.
The US is actually the best positioned demographically, technologically, and geographically. That said our leadership did It's best to give that away to China.

@UW_Doog_Bot - thoughts?
Perhaps the war wasn’t about Ukraine at all but rather a means to draw the US into partnering with the Russians for resources instead.

RIP, Trump's fault. The cool kids use Putin's fault these days.

The little twit is on the Euro's puppet strings. They want war in the worst way.
I don’t see how they can fight it well without starting a continental war once the French and UK send ground troops to the meat grinder.
Oh well, fuck ‘em. We(?) have plenty to fix here across the ocean, as Zelensky reminded us a few weeks ago.
