I have been trying to find out what kind of “deal” Trump is offering Ukraine. It apparently has to do with dangling some kind of security assurances in return for a specified percentage of the profits Ukraine could make mining rare-earth minerals. When I heard about some of the possible configurations of a deal, I found them to be totally ridiculous and grotesque. But I found it difficult to ascertain exactly the terms of the deal.
In my research, however, I came across the blog written by Timothy Snyder on the topic. His analysis, as is always the case, was superb. His post is well worth a close read and there is little more that I could add with the information available right now.
