Americans (who are old enough) just need to ask themselves: Were we OK with Russia putting missiles in Cuba?

Boom. Imagine if Kennedy had closed off diplomatic relations back then as Blinken (Biden) did.

I would be surprised if Ukraine didn't have permanent missile installations after the war.

Thankfully the EU confiscated way more Russian assets than the US. You know Trump's going to return those assets as soon as Putin gives the word.

I think Putin is sittting on a similar or greater amount of EU assets than the EU is Russian assets.

Yeah, I think those are already written off on company balance sheets. Do you think Trump will negotiate those back or give Putin's assets first?

Already written off. IKEA will never get its factories or stores back.
It is the danger of doing business with dictators.

Meanwhile, the Russian assets seized in Europe will be used to help rebuild Ukraine, as that is something Russia should pay for.

Stupidly, Ukraine handed over all their nuclear missiles to Russia in 1994 in exchange for a treaty in which Russia promised to respect their territorial integrity and rights as a sovereign nation.

Lesson learned. Never trust the Russians!

So what is the 50% of Ukraine's strategic minerals?

If 50% of the deposit, no western for profit company is coming in to mine that money losing proposition. Net smelter returns (NSR) payments of 5% are doable in some instances but it is usually more beneficial to buy out as much of that as possible. A typical option agreement will have a 2% to 3% NSR with all but 0.5% to 1% open to buy back at $1M per 0.5%.

If it is 50% of the Ukraine government's take, then that may be more reasonable depending on the tax/royalty regime. If you think of it in BC terms, the Provincial government gives roughly 35% of their take to First Nations.

Whoosh.

[Per]

The CETA agreement facilitates an increase in trade between Canada and the EU to substitute for trade with the US when tariffs go up.

The ass-kissing knows no bounds.

[Blob Mckenzie]

He's a 5 time draft dodger. Five times he showed a lack of backbone and a lack of courage. He's a fucking coward. River of piss running down his leg thinking of a physical confrontation. The US elected him to run their country.

Those colors do run.

He'd have flames on his feet running out of the Towers on 9/11.

Real leader.

Canada will be annexed? Remember 1812. How did that go for the Excited States?

Trump is hilarious but he is beyond making a spectacle of himself.

[Meds]

I’d have flames on my feet and smoke coming outta my ass trying to get out of the towers on 9/11.

The war of 1812 America is a far cry from 2025 America.

You posting drunk again Blobby Mac?

[Blob Mckenzie]

Chief Tecumseh has a lot of descendants in this country Mëds. We mopped the floor with the US once, we'll do it again. Remember this is the same country that couldn't be bothered to enter WW 2 until Pearl Harbor was bombed. They were scared. Punch the bully in the snout. He usually cries and turns tail.

[Topper]

1812, when the US captured the Royal Standard (flag) from York, now Toronto, and still have it in the US Naval Academy..

[Blob Mckenzie]

That's about all they captured. Kinda like hockey. They won a tournament in 1996 on a high stick goal by a kid from North Van. Glen Sather let Ray Charles choose the team. It's hilarious how many of our best players said fuck it that year.
