We continue to look suspiciously at National Security Advisor Mike Waltz because the emphasis on a U.S-Ukraine “minerals deal” comes directly from his strategic planning. Waltz appears to be trying to get Trump enmeshed in the Ukraine conflict through economic ties which can be used to manipulate the U.S position.
However, that said, President Trump has clearly told his Nat Sec Advisor that he will not be coerced into sending U.S. military troops into Ukraine to support a peacekeeping mission. Nor will President Trump look upon his demand that EU/NATO members put their boots-on-the ground in Ukraine as any extended NATO Article-5 responsibility.
Mike Waltz spoke directly to the issue of European NATO troops being deployed as peacekeepers into Ukraine, and the possibility of those troops being attacked, thereby triggering Article-5 deployment of U.S. military to defend them.
NSA Waltz correctly confirms that Ukraine is not a NATO member, therefore any attack (which could include an IC false flag) within Ukraine is not considered an attack against a NATO country by the Trump administration. WATCH (prompted):
.
This puts a little context to the strategic position of President Trump against the backdrop of all the geopolitical navigation that comes with the USA having conducted a proxy war against Russia using the geography of Ukraine.
Additionally, last night Secretary of State Marco Rubio is the first Trump administration official who specifically said that the past three years have been a proxy war between the USA and Russia, Video Below:
.
Rubio’s statement was HUGE and requires a giant spotlight on it. With it begs the Question everyone should be asking: “But… Why?”
Trump is dismantling the Gordian knot of the DS. Yet now we can see EU’s evil hands all over the Worlds disastrous pivot to Tyranny. What a mess…
I had to listen 3 times to just to confirm that my ears were not deceiving me!
Both Rubio and Waltz’s statements are further proof that President Trump is the only global leader interested in stopping the killing AND who is brave enough to expose the cabal behind it.
It is amazing to watch him dismantle all their schemes and corruption. Winning!
Yes indeed Andy. Well said fellow patriot.
Rubio certainly exposed Hannity’s naivite.
I’d contend that his naiveté is actually “pretending not to know” as Sundance often refers to.
As though that was necessary.
time to depart nato….I was USAFE (US air force europe) 75-76, it was USAFE first USAF 2nd….F that
USAFE is a US command, air component commander for EURCOM and AFRICOM.
Allied Air Command is NATO air component commander under SACEUR.
The commanders are dual-hatted in both US and NATO command structure.
I caught that, too, and hope the same.
For me from the moment it was announced, it had “Danger, Will Robinson!!!” flags all over it. So much so that I actually breathed a sigh of relief when what seemed as almost divine intervention intervened to stop the signing.
There’s a look about Waltz which makes me suspicious. That, and his wife’s CIA connection…
To read here that the origins of this plan came from him? And the remarkable events which have transpired since with the parasitic and panicking EU?
Hoping the breathing space has given President Trump pause. Events unforeseen have a way of doing that.
Not sure the idea ORIGINATED with him, as I read somewhere Z proposed this to PDJT, before the election?
Rare earth minerals ARE NOT RARE, so much as the mining/refining of them is an extremely ‘dirty’ operation, environmentally.
The CCP don’t CARE, nor do those operstions in Africa, which is why they are the source countries.
We HAD a mining operstion in the U.S., but environmental regs made it cost prohibitive.
Need some tech geniuses to figure out something like ‘fracking’; a way to mine and refine these minerals, and deal with the ‘tailings’ thats more efficient and ‘clean’.
Perhaps not, but Sundance does say he was emphasizing the deal “directly from his strategic planning”.
But whoever came up with it, I am relieved that it seems to languish in abeyance.
It needs, in my opinion, to come off the boil.
Then, there is this…
Once again a thank you for searching out data, specifics are invaluble.
Colonel Tony Shaffer held up this document in an interview a couple of days after that debacle in the WH (which to my eye is looking more like a blessing), but it was impossible to read, Honor.
I was hoping to find a meme which would make it readable, and voilá…
No digging on my part, but I knew someone somewhere would provide it.
Fortuitous 👍🏻

It seems the UK is trying to up its CHIP manufacturing. However, their government regulations stifle innovation and they don’t have the supplies necessary to compete. Ukrainian minerals will help to provide a portion of what they need. Are they undermining their EU and G7 partners or will they share the wealth?
“Through the G7, the UK Government should work with its partners to develop a G7-wide common strategy to secure the semiconductor supply chain of all relevant categories of semiconductors, including chips currently in high demand, semiconductor equipment, materials, and raw materials by identifying bottlenecks in the value chain and working towards a more balanced global supply.”https://www.techuk.org/resource/a-uk-plan-for-chips.html
The Industrial Revolution began in Britain. I doubt that is even taught in their schools any longer.
Much more relevant subjects have been introduced…such as learning all(ah) about Islam. I am not kidding.
Plus worrying not about economic decline (mining, shipping, manfacturing reduced to rump industries) but rather social engineering and government surveillance.
Net Zero in the pursuance of the impossible doesn’t help either…I could go on.
Britain has deliberately engineered one thing, however.
Their steady decline into irrelevance.
Late to the party as usual, T.
So, Zelenski has signed an agreement with UK, wants one with US, and who else will he try to sell the same REM to?
Zelensky would sell his own mother if he could make a buck off it.
Lindsey Graham was crowing about the minerals deal being a good way to get President Trump to continue support for Ukraine, since before President Trump was even back in office.
Lindsey is the first person to even mention the minerals, from what I can find.
President Trump seems to think that we need the “raw earth” for AI, so that shows me that he didn’t really know too much about it and it also suggests to me that David Sacks might have given him the idea.
Lindsey the first, eh? Say no more.
Exhibit A in the first of many.
I think you are likely very wrong about Trumps awareness of global rare earth materials. Everything to Trump here is a tool to negotiate with all comers.
“Rare Earth” mining/refining creates radioactive waste. And some Rare Earth materiel is naturally radioactive.
True, and so are bananas.
I hope you’re not insinuating that fracking is “clean”.
Radioactive vs “clean” is quite the stretch. Apples and oranges.
More like a statement of fact. You can get in 1 fracked well what 10 tradition ones can bring
“For me from the moment it was announced, it had ‘“Danger, Will Robinson!!!’”
Made me LOL! Thanks. That was a LONG time ago.
The “minerals deal“ is so vague in its language and what it all entails; extra scrutiny here and caution are definitely required.
It was not the current US admin, but rather Zelenskyy himself that came up with the idea of the minerals deal after having consulted with members of the EU. Indeed this deal is seemingly almost too good to be true: access not only to Ukrainian minerals, but also natural resources and ports, would be granted to the US in perpetuity(!). Does this not sound familiar?
It should however be noted that, in terms of minerals or rare earths, there has never been any discussion of specifics. Certainly no reliable monetary appraisal has, to my knowledge, ever been released within public venue and it may very well be possible that the value of such has been wildly overstated on the UKR side. This begs the question: Who would benefit from this deal the most?
I stress that the purpose of such an entanglement should face very heavy scrutiny. Perhaps one need not look too deep to understand that this has been what the UKR government along with the EU and the US security state have wanted all along: direct US involvement on the RUS border for more or less eternity with room for all kinds of intrigues and manipulation which would provide for a direct conflict between the US and RUS. Thus, from the outside looking in, the following appears to be occurring: 1) The US security state understands the importance of “making deals“ to the current admin and seeks to exploit it in order to trick the current US admin into signing a deal which would provide for an entanglement for which they have been dying; 2) There is a real possibility that there are indeed no rare earths or minerals of any value, but the mere prospect of being able to remain in UKR and continue to shape policy for decades is the actual prize.
It is for this reason that the current admin should walk away completely. Personally, I see no benefit for the US to remain in any type of agreement and one must question whether a side which has already shown ill will towards American politics and continues to do so is worthy of upholding any such agreement in the long run. The US does not appear to be in need of ports nor minerals; they can be had elsewhere at a much less risk to reward ratio, can they not? What it is exactly so special, therefore, about this deal in UKR?
If it is monetary compensation the US is after, then I am of the opinion that they are wrong in seeking it from the UKR and it should certainly not be in the form of any silly “minerals deal.“ Yes, there were likely large sums of money which were embezzled, weapons which were diverted to other parts of the world and all sorts of dubious groups through shell companies, etc. But again, the question remains: Whose MO is that exactly? The current admin should look inwards to solve such abuses; it would be punishment enough for the current UKR government to be thrown to the wolves.
Walk away!
Addendum: One should also consider that with weapons systems already in place and with no way to control what equipment or protection would be shipped through controlled ports at a later date (through the so-called “minerals deal“), we have essentially a situation which would allow for further covert arming of Ukraine through the executors of USFP. This would be a disaster waiting to happen and the worst possible outcome in terms of forming a lasting peace.
Actually if the deal is signed and dropped in a drawer.When the Russians take over the rare earth territories We can deal with putin and maintain we are not proffiteering from war as we have agreements from both sides
Easier to mine our own
ITS a lie,there are no minable minerals,like the lie that there were high deposutes in Afghanistan in Afghanistan,Somebody tell Trump.
No honest assessment of Ukraine’s mineral assets comes anywhere close to the numbers that top government officials claim. The US Geological Survey, and even publications from Ukraine’s ministries report only trace amounts of rare earth metals anywhere in the country.
Even were we only to consider non-rare earths, other problems become apparent. Many of those reserves are in Russian hands, and much of the rest can not be commercially mined at current market prices.
Think your analysis is 100% correct. Would make the US the protector for Odessa and other parts of the Ukraine and help move us to WWIII.
Wow!
When France, Britain or whichever NATO member country sends troops to Ukraine, it’s not a proxy war anymore. They become a direct party to the conflict. Belligerents involved in the proxy war, sent as “peacekeepers” is the mother of bad ideas, and a recipe for WWIII.
You wont even need a false flag, for the situation to escalate catastrophically. Article 5, and NATO mincing around on Russias borders wont mix well.
ARTICLE 6 nukes that theory entirely.
I’m dropping a link and a snippet, go check it out in full, the territories protected are precisely defined, PDJT knows that, and he just informed the world that. We dealt with this it seems only days ago. UK troops getting themselves blown up in Ukraine would not see a catastrophic escalation, it would see an ignominious end to Project Ukraine when PDJT shows them his Too Bad So Sad face.
Article 6
Current NATO member territory per Article 6
Article 6 states that Article 5 covers only member states’ territories in Europe, North America, Turkey, and islands in the Atlantic north of the Tropic of Cancer.
Peacekeeper sends missile to Belgorod, or wherever in Russia, accidentally or intentionally, and it kills some Russians. Peacekeepers country receives a missile in response… Will Art 5 be stoically ignored?
Well it’s a treaty of mutually assured destruction then.
Our position should be Hell No We Won’t Go.
An initial act of aggression from a Nato country should not receive article 5 consideration.
Turkey blows up a Chinese Plane and China takes out a Turkish airport
Sorry Turkey sick your wounds and move on no article 5 for you
You try too hard.
Try too hard?
British and French troops in Ukraine is an escalation.
It raises the prospects for future conflict.
Not hard to grasp.
How is that trying too hard?
It is an escalation. However if the US pulls from the proxy war, Putin will likely continue just the same and rapidly drain their inadequate war capacity, and likely incite open rebellion against the foolish leaders of Britain and France.
Yesterday Britian had hundreds of protestor waving America flags and supporting Trump.
The globalists are lost. It is only a matter of how much misery they can generate on the way out. Destruction is their strong suit, so let’s be cautious.
Not even certain Article 5 covers NATO states that attack Russia.
Trump has stated very succinctly, ” you do not have the cards” speaking , not just to the Ukraine, but to Germany and Britian, and any EU nation foolish enough to think they can attack Russua.
Trump warned Germany 5 years ago to not be dependent on Russia for energy, and they laughed at him.
They don’t even have enough cards to bluff.
Russia has zero interest in Europe, and the wreck, economic and cultural, the globalists have turned it into. Russia is not a threat to Europe. Europe is a threat to itself
It all makes me chuckle. All these top secret, clandestine, public image means of overtaking countries, creating culture change, regime change, administration change. The strongest country in the world pretending to send USAID, which is in reality a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
PDJT, on the other hand, says, “Hey Justin, why don’t you guys just become the 51st state. You can be governor. Hey Canada! Whaddyy’all think? It could be YUGE!” “Hey Greenland, we need you and your geological position. You too, could be a state with us. We’ll have a blast!”
The first photo of Waltz’s face reminds me of Chesty Puller………..
With no world war to conceal the destruction of globalist communism, what will they do? Maybe it will finally be time to round-up the communists, do away with them, and move the subhuman garbage out of the west. Anybody who wants to go back to Africa or Arabia with them is welcome to go.
Won’t THAT be a period of time for the history books!
Unfortunately. there WILL be a war. Not tomorrow, but certainly by 2028 or ’29.
Thank G-d!!!!!
At his Joint Session speech, PDJT laid a trap, by saying “there is NOTHING I can do, that they will stand for”, and then letting them PROVE it, over the next hour.
Similarly, the proponents of this war, are falling into a trap; by their continued intransigence, and insistence on attempting to maintain the “unprovoked” false narrative, they are setting up perfectly for PDJT and his team, to step by step refute that narrative.
PDJT actually started the ball rolling, over a week ago when he said “As soon as I heard Joe and Z talk about NATO membership for Ukraine, I said “their starting a war”; a pretty clear indication that just SAYING that, was provoking Putin.
PDJT knows the history, as does Putin and PDJT and his team, who are remarkably disciplined and all on the same page, are steadily going to wear down and dismantle this “Unprovoked” false narrative the pro-war forces zeolously push.
Agreed…PDJT has laid an intricate trap for the money-laundering Democrat grifters, as well as Z-skyy…and they took the bait. Let these people who know more than anyone, based on proximity to the problem areas, do their appointed jobs… if it doesn’t go as expected then complain. Until then…patience…we’re 40+ days into a carefully considered gameplan that is overwhelming the Dems, Rhino’s, and in general, most world leaders. The firehose effect is working in spades.
I have a new nickname for Pocahontas aka Liawatha.
She is now Dances For War.
If Waltz is pushing this he is a snake in the grass,its a lie,Somebody tell Trump

there are no minerals to mine,Whoever is pushing this lie needs to be fired.

NO compromise on our part! Russia appears to be acknowledging that, Zelensky and the EU needs to come to grips with that.
NO more money!!! And absolutely none of our troops on the ground!
I like a lot of what President Trump does, but I’m always a little circumspect when he is promoting something like this mineral deal. I’ve seen the stories that the UK already signed a deal with Ukraine before our president took office and I’ve seen the other sources proclaiming it’s a bad deal based on the geological surveys. etc. This deal seems thin to me, like we are doing Ukraine more of a favor than us getting anything out of it.
Using Sundance’s analogy, is the front of the house (State) no longer serving the dishes made by the back of the house (CIA)?
Maybe somebody parked a food truck out front.
Any kind of deal with Ukraine worries me. That country has been a cesspool of corruption for as long as I can remember.
As much as the media bleats about not trusting Putin, I think it’s obvious that he is more trustworthy than Little Z.
Having said that, I trust President Trump. I’m certain that he has this all gamed out and that, once again, he will be proved to be a Very Stable Genius.
As a US Senator, couldn’t Marco have saved everybody a lot of trouble by mentioning the proxy war before this?
Not just a Senator, but as a member of the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, so yeah, he knew all about it. No excuse, probably promoted it.
We have to hope he has truly had a Come To Jesus moment and is indeed doing the right thing and Not undermining Trump. He’s talking like it.
That one.
He could have. And poof, the statement would ruffle a few feathers and be gone.
Now however, it is a powerful blow telling the world we will no longer play their globalists one world government games.
The mindset and media spin is still there, however, in the Hannity clip. First of all, it is not a stalemate. Russia is not using NATO tactics of bombing the smithereens out of a country and leveling it. I do believe that they had the capability of doing that, but it would have caused untold hardship and much more death for the people of Ukraine. And it would not have changed the dynamics in Ukraine, the neo-Nazi ideology, the militarism, or pacified the country. Russia is prosecuting this war on the ground – not to harm civilians as much as possible and to degrade Ukraine’s military in soldiers and weapons capability as much as possible.
The “stalemate spin” is only to deny that Russia has been defeating Ukraine and the combined support of NATO, the UK, the US, the EU and carrying out an effective attrition war.
The other media spin is Hannity slipping in the “thug, villain, war criminal” label of Vladimir Putin. No person has been so vilified by western media than Putin, other than maybe President Trump. It’s like Hannity is saying in effect that President Putin really is those things, but we have to talk to him to get peace. Rubio doesn’t go there entirely, but doesn’t deny the label or say anything positive about President Putin. I guess that would be too large a narrative jump for a propagandized western audience right now.
Baby steps.
Hard to free minds marinated by the MarxMerdia.
The MarxMerdia is a fully integrated element of the Derp State, and it MUST be destroyed!!
I’d encourage everyone to take a quick scan of Article 5 of the NATO treaty; you can find it here: https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/official_texts_17120.htm My point is, an attack doesn’t automatically trigger an armed response. There’s a huge escape hatch that reads “… such action as it deems necessary.” So PDJT is within rights to say, well, our action is not putting boots, or anything else, on the ground. Enjoy your war but count us out.
Finally, someone else read Article 5.
The US doesn’t NEED a foreign rare earths mineral source and note that Ukraine isn’t even on the list below:

Rare Earths Discovery Near Wheatland, WY So Big It Could Be World Leader
American Rare Earths Inc. disclosed in a technical report on Wednesday that it found 64% more rare earth minerals than it had originally envisioned. “This exceeded our wildest dreams,” CEO Donald Swartz told Cowboy State Daily.
February 07, 2024
There’s a modern-day gold rush happening in the attempt to dig green-energy rare earth minerals out of the ground. Some believe Wyoming could be America’s answer to China’s lock on the market.
And one of a handful of Wyoming companies in the rush may have hit the mother lode.
American Rare Earths Inc. has its sights on thousands of acres of land near Wheatland, Wyoming. The company disclosed in a technical report on Wednesday that it found 64% more rare earth minerals than it had originally envisioned in a March 2023 assessment of the land.
The newly disclosed figure of 2.34 billion metric tons of rare earth minerals found southwest of Wheatland by American Rare Earths Inc. could dwarf in size the 1.2 million metric ton estimates in northeastern Wyoming that one of its competitors claimed was one of the biggest discoveries in the world.
We don’t need foreign lithium sources either:
Colossal Cache of Lithium Found in US May Be World’s Largest
“It could change the dynamics of lithium globally…”
10 Sep 2023
In the race to hoard lithium, a metal crucial for creating the batteries that power electric vehicles, the US may have fortuitously stumbled on the world’s biggest deposit yet.
A new study, published in the journal Science Advances, estimates that the McDermitt Caldera, a volcanic crater on the Nevada-Oregon border, harbors a colossal 20 to 40 million metric tons of lithium.
Based on these newest figures, the caldera dwarfs the amount of lithium in even Bolivia’s salt flats, home to around 23 million tons.
A Giant Hidden Source of Lithium Was Just Discovered in Arkansas
25 October 2024
Suspended in the relic of an ancient sea beneath southern Arkansas, there may be enough lithium for nine times the expected global demand for the element in car batteries in 2030.
The results suggest there is anywhere from 5.1 to 19 million metric tons of lithium in the brines…
Titanium can come from friendly nations:

The Taliban are sitting on $1 trillion worth of minerals the world desperately needs
August 19, 2021
https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/18/business/afghanistan-lithium-rare-earths-mining/index.html
Afghanistan is one of the poorest nations in the world. But in 2010, US military officials and geologists revealed that the country, which lies at the crossroads of Central and South Asia, was sitting on mineral deposits worth nearly $1 trillion.
Supplies of minerals such as iron, copper and gold are scattered across provinces. There are also rare earth minerals and, perhaps most importantly, what could be one of the world’s biggest deposits of lithium — an essential but scarce component in rechargeable batteries and other technologies vital to tackling the climate crisis.
If we just put to death this Green New Scam we won’t need Any of that lithium. Scrap the stoopid windmills and leave the small percentage of electric vehicles to the wealthy, virtue-signaling Tesla buyers.
When nuclear is properly developed, then EVs will be have far more potential appeal to a real market.
Not sure.
I can’t imagine even thinking about an electric vehicle until the day that it takes no longer to charge than it now does to fill my Honda gas tank. Where it gets the power from is irrelevant to this drawback.
Time is money.
Battery technology in time will be much safer, go farther, and charge faster, even be less toxic too.
That will take time, but it is advancing quickly, and I pray that oligarch obstruculousness doesn’t steer us into a poor technological path and deny the opportunity to continue improvement and embracing the best options.
Tesla is essentially using laptop battery cells, they may be more sophisticated now but I don’t get the sense they are, I’ve been watching future developments, have always felt the current efforts were premature in light of the primitive dangerous toxic nature of it all.
Of course, no matter how we go, we can get nowhere if we don’t get the counter-civilizational primitives the hell out of our country so the cables aren’t stolen for scrap every night . . . Actually, in ground chargers one parks over seems the safest most difficult for Scavengers to get at.
The mineral deal exposed how Zelenskyy doesn’t want peace at all but more money. I fully believe that President Trump knew this and had the public meeting to expose him to the world and Z fell for it.
I notice that Rubio refers to what “the Vice President” was saying. Good to see the team coalescing, showing a growing unified front of many on the President Trump administration on the same page, operating off the same script which hopefully is based on Truth.
As the same time, I keep my eyes alert for a “Team” to coalesce apart from PDJT and steal the spotlight/focus. Many of the people on the Trump Team have their own different agendas.
I pray for Unity in purpose, and that that unity be centered around Truth (with a capital T)
I wonder if PDJT (and patriots) in government are restricted from revealing some of the truth they know because it would reveal classified information and somehow subject him and others to retaliation for divulging classified information.
If so, there is likely both a legal process by which that has to happen, as well as politically ideal way to roll this out.
I’m sure PDJT has all this thought out and it is proceeding according to the way it needs to.
I’m sure PDJT has all this thought out
He only knows what he’s being told and I think he’s being lied to on the minerals crap just like the 2021 “mineral wealth” excuse that came up during Afghanistan.
I’m with you, CountryDoc.
What is the point of expanding mineral supply? We currently have as much “stuff” that we can buy, with equilibrium at the union of supply and demand. The only thing that would occur is lower cost materials and higher profits
Secretary of State for the United States, Marco Rubio delivering a message about the war in Ukraine. … +With the Cross of Ash Wednesday on his forehead, he >also has a message for >all the terrorists, war mongers, jihadists, and other evil doers, “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return” [said by the Priest when the cross is applied].

Regardless, the preponderance of evidence suggests:

Nyet!
Have not ever trusted Waltz
This is all well and good, but no one is talking about the possibility of the Euros following in ZBidenTard’s footsteps doing something irresponsible to provoke Russia, (like bombing Russian cities ) which may result in Putin testing out his new missiles on European soil. Technically then, if Russia hits a city in France, for example, would the US be compelled under NATO obligations to get into a war defending France against Russia? Since the Euros seem to be as daft as Biden, the risk of this happening is why it might be a good idea to consider getting out of NATO now. It doesn’t sound like we are on the same page with the leadership of many of these countries very much anymore. The German leader is a ghoulish nightmare, one penny short of a pound, Starmer is a Tyrant, and Macron is a Tyrant- Wannabe like Trudeau. Maybe if the citizens of these countries could elect better leaders that would be different. I think we could do well on our own. We have a lot of what we need to be self-sufficient once we pull our manufacturing back home and beef up our energy industries. The EU needs us more than we need them, even though they think the exact opposite. The reality is they probably wouldn’t be capable of lifting a finger to help us if we were attacked anyway, so what good is NATO to us? Serious question. IMHO they seem like more of a liability than a benefit to the US. What are we getting for the price tag?
England already signed the rare earth minerals deal behind our back in January.
Trump may just be the first President/Cabinet that is operating independently of the war monger administrative state goons.
It is so refreshing to have an actual leader in the White House again and not a puppet like we’ve had for many decades.
Oh no. We want those minerals and the minerals in Greenland too. Trump knows were not buying Greenland but he also knows if they fear us enough financially they probably offer us a financial deal to mine minerals that makes it as good as owning.
