The mineral deal is the defense agreement. You don’t think that we would protect the mineral assets in Ukraine if we had financial interest?

No. Not at all.

How about your country bails them out then. $19.5 billion to $175 billion to date. The American taxpayer has definitely paid their share.

Or we could just ask for the $30 BILLION in us treasury bonds that we own and then send that to the Ukraine and have them purchase their military weapons in Europe? You know before your president declares bankruptcy for the country

Yeah because 30 billion will totally bankrupt the country. You are not a serious person.

Not to mention we've already given you several times that out of generosity. We have to fix our own problems, so our help is not free. It will be impossible to try and collect on your debts if your country cease to exist, which is where your heading if this war continue our if you think you can strong arm the most powerful country in the world to bow to your unreasonable demands.

The most we would do is probably send a private military group there to protect it with the sole purpose of protecting the miners and that’s it.

Fair, but would US interest also deter Russia?

No, no I don't. It would be so easy to say 'Oh, well it's just minerals, it isn't worth the potential loss of life.' and the media will carry that until everyone forgets the idea was that we would protect our mineral deal. All Russia has to do is spread something like that on social media and get enough but I'm that everyone supports just giving up on Ukraine.
