He wants their mineral wealth.

He's saying that he will continue to supply Ukraine with weapons but they will have to give the USA 'rare Earth'. " If we didn't do that then Putin would say that he's won".

Donald is whole heart

There's also the controling of lucrative trade routes angle. Trump apparently admits the climate is changing enough to open up former ice bound routes but isn't saying why he thinks it's happening! If not through green house effects then why? But then this is the man that thinks coastal erosion is just a new opportunity for beach front properties.

If Trump is going to deal with Russia he has to be very careful or he'll be screwed over by Putin, but should we bailhim out if he does?

I think Putin knows he can screw Trump over hard, and if that happens I wonder how the American public will react to it. Putin to me is a man that we the West can't do proper business with.
