NEW šØ President Trump: "Zelensky, by the way, I see he's trying to back out of the rare earth deal ā and if he does that, he's got some problems. Big, Big Problem! ... He was never going to be a member of NATO ... If he's looking to renegotiate the deal, he's got big problems."

The entire Russia/Ukraine/Zelensky BS is simply a distraction. It's a huge wank!
Meanwhile, the entire global economy and broken money system is worsening by the week...š¤·āāļø

Trumpās warning to Zelensky about a rare earth deal isnāt just a throwaway threat ā itās a calculated signal. And itās likely a direct response to the UKāUkraine 100-year pact, signed just days before Trump returned to the White House.
The timing couldnāt be more revealing.
On January 16th, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer visited Kyiv to sign a sweeping agreement binding Britain and Ukraine for a century. It promised military integration, economic support, and crucially ā a ācritical minerals strategy.ā Thatās rare earths, lithium, uranium ā the materials that will define energy dominance and defence superiority in the 21st century.
And this is where things get geopolitical.
Over a century ago, British geostrategist Sir Halford Mackinder proposed the Heartland Theory (1904), arguing that whoever controls Eastern Europe controls the āWorld-Islandā ā the combined landmass of Europe, Asia, and Africa. Ukraine, sitting at the gateway between East and West, has always been the pivot. Itās no coincidence that both Russia and the West are vying for control of it.
The UK just made its move ā not with tanks, but with treaties. While the U.S. was in presidential transition, Britain quietly secured a deal that could give it privileged access to Ukraineās postwar resource base and strategic industries. The 100-year pact isnāt just diplomatic theatre ā itās a potential land and resource grab, sealed before Trump could reassert U.S. interests.
So when Trump warns Zelensky not to āback out of the deal,ā he may be reacting to a betrayal thatās already happened. Britain might have locked in the Heartland ā and the U.S. may now be fighting to claw it back.
Weāre watching Mackinder play out in real time ā in minerals, missiles, and memorandums.
