Donald Trump's fight with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky in the White House reflected how the US treats Ukraine as a colony. Trump is demanding control of the country's rare earths and critical minerals, to weaken China, re-industrialize, and build tech products. Trump wants to be paid $350 billion, roughly twice Ukraine's GDP. Ben Norton discusses Washington's economic colonialism, and Republican Senator Lindsey Graham's comments that "this war is about money" and the USA will "enrich ourselves with rare earth minerals".
In short, through this strategy, Trump achieves two major goals. First,
he destroys the liberal project for Ukraine, which is basically the
complete looting of the country by the US-Western liberal capitalist
faction. Second, he opens widely the road for the Musk-led oligarchy to replace its liberal capitalist rivals in the race for Ukraine's valuable assets.
