The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I get something worth much more than Trump's "deal" if we back Ukraine and stare Putin down - something you apparently don't understand.

Diplomacy, strategy and economics. Those are what matters.

Anyway. Back to the man subject:

msn.com - What minerals does ukraine have and what does the US want

Ukraine's minerals fact box
Ukraine is sitting on one of Europe’s largest deposits of critical minerals, including copper, nickel, lithium, and titanium.
It is estimated that about five per cent of the world's critical raw materials are in Ukraine, according to United Nations data.
Ukraine also has significant quantities of rare earth metals, a group of 17 elements required to make electronics, wind turbines, weapons and other essential products.
Examples of rare earth metals include holmium, ytterbium and dysprosium. While these aren’t rare, extraction and storage is very complicated.
Some mineral deposits have been seized by Russia following the 2022 invasion.

You people wanted the United States to have skin in the game. Now we do.
