BBC: "Zelensky tells BBC Ukraine 'ready to sign' minerals deal with US"
The BBC's Laura Kuenssberg has quizzed Zelensky about the future of the agreement...
Zelensky answers saying the minerals deal is ready for [the] minister to sign. “It is our policy to continue what happened in the past, we’re constructive,” he continues, “if we agreed to sign the minerals deal, we’re ready to sign it.”
“The agreement that’s on the table will be signed if the parties are ready,” he concludes.
This Blog.
I think the mineral deal will need to be signed first by Zelensky and posted for the world to see his signature for 48 hours before Trump suggests sending to the Senate for ratification. No need to hurry after Zelensky’s foolishness.
Zeensky Is assuming that the deal is still on the table.
BBC: "Zelensky tells BBC Ukraine 'ready to sign' minerals deal with US"
That’s the deal he was going to get if he had been a good little client state leader and signed it when he was in the Oval Office. That’s not he deal he’s going to get now.
"Zeensky Is assuming that the deal is still on the table."
Personally, I hope it's not. It looks like a can of worms to me.
Some things never change.
Remember Michael in The Godfather? "This is what I am offering you, nothing!" That is what Trump is offering Zelensky on the mineral deal. Zelensky came up with the idea of the mineral deal, but he was demanding that we agree to fight Russia, it was conceived as a bribe to get Trump to commit US soldiers to Zelensky's war. Trump is saying, give us the minerals, and let us worry about how we handle Russia, then we can all make bank. "Don't you tell us how to handle Russia!" Remember how mad Trump got when Zelensky did his veiled threat that the US would have to fight Russia in North America if we didn't go along with his plan to defeat Russia militarily? Basically he said, "stay out of it pipsqueak."
Deal or No Deal?
NO DEAL!
France and UK pressing for one month ceasefire in Ukraine. Great job Zelensky! You turned down Trump and you get 1/100th the money and 1 month to get you affairs in order.
"You are in no position" - Donald Trump.
Whatever Zelsky was smoking that day, he wasn't in his right mind.
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am.
Oh my goodness. I'm just remembering Trump did something similar with Pelosi and Shumer. It was about the government shutdown. Link to video

Polish PM Donald Tusk:
“500 million Europeans are asking 300 million Americans to defend them against 140 million Russians.”

This.

Stuck in the 'Far Right' with you.
I'm waiting for the 'Hitler Finds Out' video of the Zelenski Oval Office fiasco.
Trump should just back away and tell Zelinski and Zelinski's EU supporters - "You got this. Good luck."
Perhaps the left can offer up Hunter Biden as a broker. It worked before.
Marco Rubio on the Ukraine double-cross
CNN interview with Marco Rubio on Zelenskyy
I like Rubio a lot. Trump's got an amazing cabinet. Maybe the strongest cabinet of my lifetime. The best veep I've ever seen, for sure. I'm impressed with how many strong personalities Trump has on board. It's like Lincoln's cabinet.
Meanwhile, Germany can barely keep the lights on. The UK can't even defend Kent, much less Kyiv.
If it's true that Zelenski is saying 'we have a deal', this pie chart may have told all he needed to know, if he didn't know already.
Europeans to Zelenski: WTF did you do? Don't you know who pays the bills around here? If Trump cut us off, we are kaput.
You better get your lazy ass back there and fix this.
Here's the right link for the Ukraine double cross
The Ukrainians have a vital interest in the Donbass area and the port city of Mariupol because the Donbass is the Ukraine's manufacturing area and Mariupol is the port for the Donbass. We know how bad giving up our manufacturing to the Chinese was for the MidWest and it will be the same for the Ukraine. But that doesn't mean it can't happen or shouldn't happen. Suppose that Ukraine can't hold the Donbass without getting US troops in? which might cause WWW III. Zelensky won't look at that. But Trump must.
And, why can't the Ukraine do it? Has it misspent the billions we sent? Wrong tactics? A picture of an atrocity won't answer these questions. Will our guys become subject to atrocities because Zelensky doesn't care about our guys, only his people? Only Ukrainians matter? Well, perhaps, if you are a Ukrainian leader of a Ukrainian army. But what about coalition partners? don't you have to care about them if you want a coalition? You want Repulicans to go fight in the Ukraine although you disrespected their leader? Really?
Has he found a suit? Let's see some photos.

Crypto Prices Jump After Trump Announces Five Tokens for Strategic Reserve ~ WSJ
"President Donald Trump said a potential US strategic reserve of digital assets will include lesser-traded tokens Solana, XRP and Cardano."
A strategic reserve of something that serves no utility and no one would notice if it disappeared!
Next up: a strategic reserve of tooth fairies and secret repository of replacement Santa Clauses?
The amount of market manipulation from this administration is both blatant and staggering.
I see that Marco Rubio had to tell George Stephanopoulos to grow up. Given that Stephanopoulos is already 64, he’s a bit overdue.
Lent begins Wednesday - time for my 40-day moratorium on commenting! I'm also finishing the last couple of episodes of Dexter, as it seems a not-Lenten kind of thing to watch. Houston Rodeo starts Tuesday, also rather non-Lenten but at least not focused on gruesome murder.
"Is this true?"
True-ish. The facts aren't nearly so stark. Lira was arrested for the crime of questioning the Zelensky viewpoint of the current Russia-Ukraine war and later convicted. He was released on parole and tried to return to the United States, which the Zelensky government considered a parole violation. Lira was consequently re-arrested and imprisoned, an unfriendly and decidedly unintelligent abuse of Ukraine's most valuable foreign relationship. Later on, he died of pneumonia, and not torture.
If Zelensky was half as smart as Donald Trump, he would have been happy to see Gonzalo Lira escape home. It would have dispensed with serious political embarrassment and an alleged "pro-Russian" propaganda problem within his borders in a single stroke. But no, true to his Alfred E. Neuman diplomatic principles, Zelensky couldn't be bothered to show a little trepidation in holding an American citizen in prison for committing the First Amendment. That is the behavior expected of an autocratic hermit kingdom like North Korea, not a pluralistic state trying to impress American citizens with its dedication to the ideals of Washington and Jefferson.
Zelensky is Ukraine's Joe Biden. He's a fuck-up. Get rid of him. Give him a satchel full of Ben Franklins, and maroon him on a Caribbean island. Then the killing and dying will stop.
LLR-democratical Rich @ 8:59pm...
Thanks Reverse Cramer of Althouse blog! Now we know the Strategic Reserve is a great idea since everything you previously asserted was impossible came about and everything you said previously was inevitable never happened at all!
Its been remarkable reading your Harry Sisson-like inanities.
But do keep it up. You provide a "nice balance" to all the reality based commenters that get everything or most things right.
"Houston Rodeo starts Tuesday, also rather non-Lenten but at least not focused on gruesome murder."
If you're going to do a fat Tuesday, watching some bull-riding and some good horsemanship is far better than indulging in the carnality of New Orleans' Mardi Gras.
@Quaestor;" Later on, he died of pneumonia, and not torture."
Yeah, and when you die in custody, it will also be due to pneumonia. And not torture. It might be agonizing, and it might even kill you, but it certainly won't be torture.
A triple reverse unitalic curse.
Gonzalo Lira was arrested for "questioning the Zelensky viewpoint of the current Russia-Ukraine war" and committed what "the Zelensky government considered a parole violation"? That's a very tendentious way to put it.
Wikipedia says the "heavily pro-Russian content [of his coverage of the war] praised Russian military actions, denied Russian attacks on civilians, and doxxed Western journalists. His content, which has been described as Russian propaganda and disinformation, was amplified on social media by Kremlin-linked accounts and praised by Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova". Ukrainian law enforcement said that he "also shared pro-Russian disinformation such as claiming the Bucha massacre was faked or that the Ukrainian government was a Neo-Nazi regime, and that Lira had shared video of himself insulting Ukrainian soldiers". That's not just disagreeing with Zelenskyy's personal opinion, that's actively working for the other side and telling bald-faced lies.
And he was released from jail into house arrest. Trying to leave the country when you've been ordered not to is not just an "alleged" violation of the conditions of parole, but an obvious one.
As for dying of pneumonia in jail, he was 55, in poor health from (I've read elsewhere) years of heavy smoking, obesity, and (allegedly) STDs. Ukrainians jails are no doubt colder than they ought to be in winter, for the same reason that Ukrainian apartments are: the Russians keep bombing the electrical plants, cutting off the power over and over again. Unfortunate, and unpleasant, like most causes of death, but neither murder nor torture.
"That's not just disagreeing with Zelenskyy's personal opinion, that's actively working for the other side and telling bald-faced lies."
And that an extremely tendentious way to describe Lira's use of his Constitutional rights. If Weevil thinks Lira's writings are bald-faced, let him prove it. Otherwise most here will treat that overwrought hyperbole as more Weevil-effluent.
Granted, Ukraine isn't obliged to respect an American's inalienable right to free expression, but the smart move would have been to deport Lira to the United States rather than imprison him. No reasonably intelligent national leader at war would forego the option of deportation given his utter dependence on foreign charity.

No one commenting here knows the circumstances of Gonzalo Lira's death -- not I, not Jupiter, and not Dr. Weevil. However, I will note that his fatal illness could well be COVID-related. Millions have died from COVID-related pneumonia despite the best medical treatment available. Without specific and proven facts to the contrary, no one can in good conscience can accuse Zelensky's regime of malicious neglect. It's quite possible Lira received the best medical treatment Ukraine could afford and nevertheless died. It happens inevitably. However, the salient fact remains. Gonzalo Lira died in Ukrainian state custody, which is stupid and shameful given the logical and politically intelligent alternative -- deportation.
There’s a claim saying the Dems put Zelenskyy up to sabotage the minerals deal. I’m linking to it because I don’t know if it’s true.
Jamie, giving up Althouse for Lent cracked me up! Or maybe you're still reading, just with your mouth shut? I don't think I have the discipline for that.
I once did a fast for Lent. I thought it was okay to drink during the fast. So I was drinking soft drinks, alcohol, you name it. Really bad idea to drink alcohol while you are fasting during Lent. Don't do that.
I just watched the trailer for the Oscar winner. Looks good! I love Blondie music, good call. Won best picture in France and the USA.
The DVD doesn't come out until April and I was bumming and then I was like, "oh shit, I can watch it in the theater!" I haven't been to a theater since Oppenheimer came out.
"I haven't been to a theater since Oppenheimer came out."
I haven't been to a theater since Titanic.

Sam grew tired of his friends expecting him to pay for dinner—every single time
They often complained about the food
They never said “thank you,” even after flippantly telling the waiter when the bill came “Uncle Sam’s got this one,” just as they had done on every previous occasion
One day, a thought occurred to Sam: he had other friends and didn’t need to spend so much of his time and money with Brittany, Frank, Dutch, Germaine, and the other members of their decades-old dinner club
He didn’t need their rudeness, presumptuousness, or fickle demands
He had other relationships with friends who lived closer to him, and with whom he had far more in common
Sam was much happier from that day forward as he spent more time with friends who respected him—beyond just seeing him as a giant piggy bank to fund their dinner outings

The theaters are dying a long, slow death.
Also, Sony has quit making DVD players. DVDs are dying too.
It's entirely possible that we will have a future where our cinematic art will be determined by what Amazon and Netflix think we should see. And we will own nothing.
Good luck finding Hitchcock or Ford or Kurosawa on the streamers. I'm not optimistic about the future of cinema.
This is a good article about Anora and the filmmaker, Sean Baker.
He's famous for shooting a movie on an iPhone.
Greta Gerwig, who was the head of the jury in France, says the movie owes a debt to the screwballs of yore, Howard Hawks and Lubitsch. Dude! I'm in!
Baker, who did more winning at the precursors, used his acceptance speeches to hammer home a specific message about the importance of the theatrical window, a theme he reiterated on Oscar night
If I can find it in a theater, I'm going.
I should clarify, Anora was not shot on an iPhone. It's 35mm. A movie shot on an iPhone is going to look like shit. Especially on a big screen, oh my God.
I don’t know how many Bitcoins Trump and Musk have in their back pockets but it sounds very odd to add Bitcoins as a central bank currency while it can swing 20% overnight…or is Drago delusional about Bitcoins and other crypto smoke and mirrors assets ?
I haven’t been to a theater since ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ (2023)
"I don’t know how many Bitcoins Trump and Musk have in their back pockets.. "
"But I am happy to accuse them of corruption without any evidence, even as I ignored the open evidence of Joe Biden's corruption for four years..."
The man Ukraine accused of treason died innocently of COVID. This is as good as the one where the Russian secret service killed the daughter of that Russian journalist who also happened to be on the kill list of the Ukrainians. Ukraine denies it's a kill list, and yet people on it are always enemies of Ukraine and often end up dead of things like car bombs, like the one who killed that young lady.
I'm rather late to this party, and perhaps my comment will go unnoticed, but I learned from, of all places, The Grauniad, that the EU has paid Russia about Twenty Billion Euros for natural gas since the Russo-Ukraine War began. That's far less than the EU "gave" (or loaned, depending on who you believe) to Ukraine in the same period. None of this makes any sense.
The reason the UE has bought so much Russia gas is that they don't have any alternative. They picked an economic war with Russia that they were doomed to lose, and lose it they have. China is happy to buy all of the gas Russia wants to sell them. Russia now sells them the cheap gas that it used to sell to Europe. Europe's economy is in the crapper now, not just because of the lack of energy, but the lack of feed stocks for their chemical industry. Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) is twice as expensive as what they were getting from Russia before Ukraine attacked a NATO country's infrastructure, Nordstream, and ruined that NATO country's economy, Germany. Yesterday Ukraine tried to knock out the energy infrastructure of another NATO country, two, actually, Hungary and Turkey. Last week, Ukraine attacked US owned energy infrastructure in Russia.
Oh, and The Guardian is now just one more intelligence community (neocon-neolib) newsletter, like the Washington Post and the New York Times. There are interesting articles about how it was taken over by MI6, if you want to read them.
It actually makes perfect sense in the real world where pipelines are filled by drilling wells, not by capturing unicorn farts.
You gotta remember too what the war is about. Denying ethnic Russians who fell under the rule of Kiev at the fall of the USSR the ability to conduct their affairs in Russian, as they and their ancestors have done historically going back centuries, or forcing them to live under laws written in Ukrainian, enforced by Ukrainian policemen, and adjudicated by Ukrainian judges. Oh and forcing them to split from their Russian friends and family over what was, up until 1992, and in practical terms, up to 2014 when we overthrew the Ukrainian government, a non border.
I don’t know if Jamie is giving up Althouse for lent so much as he won’t have time for it while working the HLSR (fixed). Have a good time Jamie.

I think Jamie is a woman. I could be wrong, can't remember for sure.
Jamie, giving up Althouse for Lent cracked me up! Or maybe you're still reading, just with your mouth shut? I don't think I have the discipline for that.
Yeah... last year I read without commenting. I should give up even the reading, concentrate on, you know, my spiritual development and the like, but like you, I don't have the discipline! So I'll be lurking for Lent.
I agree with whoever said above that the Rodeo is better than Mardi Gras - and certainly better than a pancake supper, for those of us trying to fight the good fight against carbs! (Although, come to think of it, my husband and I still consume a lot of carbs at the Rodeo - just liquid ones.)
I'm pretty sure I'm a woman!
We saw the latest Deadpool in theaters, thinking it might be a good popcorn movie. It wasn’t. Previously, it was TopGun Maverick, which was worth the experience. I wish I had stopped there. In other news, the latest Reacher is streaming on Prime. So far, not quite as good as season 1, but I think it is better than anything being mentioned last night.
Sorry Jamie. Still, have fun with the rodeo. Good luck with the carbs.
This is an important take on Ukraine.

wendybar/@basedmikelee...you forgot to mention that Sam was totally fed up with having to also protect all those ingrates every time they left the restaurant and were getting attacked by the big bear that keeps stalking them in Zelensky's parking lot. Particularly since Sam now has to keep an eye on an aggressive panda who eats, shoots, and leaves...
No worries, Leland - I'll take your misapprehension as a sign that I don't ALWAYS lead my feelings!
“There’s a claim saying the Dems put Zelenskyy up to sabotage the minerals deal.”
The liver-lipped Senator Chris Murphy (D) from Connecticut stated that he and a few seditious colleagues had met with the Z-Man prior to the WH meeting and gave him those instructions.
Yippee - Ki - Yay ain't just for Christmas! Gotta have fun!
"Yeah... last year I read without commenting. I should give up even the reading, concentrate on, you know, my spiritual development and the like, but like you......
Maybe reading the Althouse blog is part of your spiritual development.....
What a surprise. A whore film based on a not-whore well-off academician who pretends to be a whore wins.
“Lent begins Wednesday - time for my 40-day moratorium on commenting!“
I’d give up Althouse if I could but no matter how hard I’ve tried, I just can’t quit her.
Big Mike says Stephanopoulos is 64. That's a rare case, where a person's age, IQ, and height in inches are all the same.
I literally can't recall the last movie I saw in a theater. Might have been "They Shall Not Grow Old" (good) or "1917" (lousy).
"Maybe reading the Althouse blog is part of your spiritual development ....." I don't do spiritual, but Althouse blog has become an important part of my social and intellectual development.
Still developing at 71.
Jamie said..."I'm pretty sure I'm a woman!"
IDK, some people say it's more complicated than it appears. Some of those people are even on the Supreme Court!
God Speed, Jamie. We'll have all these world's problems solved by the time you get back.
