European leaders made a big show of a conference call on Wednesday to support Ukrainian President Zelensky – just in case President Trump makes him stop the war. It could have been an email. They call themselves the “Coalition of the Willing.” Meaning, they are willing to let people die to fight Russia for the corrupt Ukrainian government. They are the usual fools: Ursula von der Leyen, Antonio Costa, Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron, Mark Rutte, Pedro Sanchez. After the call, they made a big to-do of thanking each other on X. You can catch up on the buffoonery on Zelensky’s X account. They are preemptively coming up with excuses not to accept whatever deal is brokered between President Trump and President Putin in Alaska on Friday. Like it matters what they say. The Telegraph reports that President Trump is planning to make a minerals deal with President Putin. The valuable rare earth minerals in Eastern Ukraine now belong to Russia and President Trump undoubtedly wants the U.S. to have favorable access to them. In exchange, the President could offer Russia a good deal to access Alaska’s natural resources. Alaska produces major commodities—zinc, silver, gold, lead, coal, and oil—and still has untapped oil and gas reserves tied up in lawsuits from climate activists. Does Russia need this? Not really. They already have plenty of their own, but if the price is right, maybe they won’t say no to more, especially if it comes with a peace deal.
