#1 The Hot Takes I was seeing yesterday was basically, "Dumb Trump now the EU will get the minerals!11"

Interesting take from people who were like, "GW starts wars for oil!" but whatever. 2 weeks ago they were not even considering compensation of any kind, so it's a whole Get'em! campaign damn the contradictions. They really are boring.

Seriously boring, the people who think the EU is superior to the USA especially 'in these times' are upset the EU would get claim to the REMs? Shouldn't that be a win and Thank You Trump? What about the possibility that doesn't happen and Russia lays claim?

Whatever.

#3 The other one I've seen floating around, and I'm sure you've seen the meme of the cracking damn with the water being the bad thing and the village being in trouble and the damn being the only thing preventing it?

Russia the water, Europe the town, and Ukraine the damn.

#4 It will be signed. Zelensky is now rich, but not rich enough to make payroll for the the Ukrainian army and government.

#6 Russia the water, Europe the town, and Ukraine the damn.

"Europa's an impotent ~~trickle~~ torrent
Of globalist eunuchs, abhorrent
In every respect!"
Thus poor Russia is fecked...
Unless...
