Trump's career is based on betrayal. He signs contracts, then refuses to fulfil his end of the deal. The minerals negotiation doesn't work that way. He needs to help Ukraine defend themselves, *then* he gets minerals from a stable Ukraine.

10. Ukraine cannot beat russia. Only russia can beat russia. Putin is repeating Muscovites' mistake in Afghanistan by emptying the treasury, destroying his economy, and killing his workers in an aggressive imperialist war of choice that nobody can justify.

8. Corporations can't confiscate funds from private accounts like Putin can. They sell bonds to raise money. But russian businesses can't afford to pay >21% for bonds. They also can't afford to pay high wages to compete with Putin's recruitment offers.

7. Putin needs more money to hire more soldiers, so he's resorting to theft. Here's Alexey Nechayev explaining that if russian people won't invest their money to prolong the stalemate, Putin will just confiscate the funds from every citizen's bank account.

4. russia's Central Bank is trying to control 9.5% inflation by offering 21% on russian bonds. Convince buyers to save their money rather than bid against each other for goods and services. 11.5% interest after inflation. Great deal, right?

2. But workers have money. Unemployment is very, very low. No free labour means companies have to poach other companies' workers by promising higher wages. It's a bidding contest for workers. Higher wages are good, right?
