Full text of the Ukraine-US Minerals Deal.
1. Seems fine (an investment and reconstruction fund);
2. Has no resemblance to what the Trump administration has been saying about it;
3. Can't tell if Ukraine is good at diplomacy, or Trump bad at it.

I’m somehow following this Facebook page that churns out fake celebrity stories.
My Twitter feed meanwhile is about 30% posts about what Simon Harris has done that you won’t believe.
Are there any platforms left that aren’t just scams/disinformation/crypto/owner’s political agenda?
Fucking nuts
