Given the current geopolitical vulnerability of Ukraine, the post-Ukraine world order will further discourage the movement for nuclear disarmament, allowing existing nuclear powers like North Korea, India, Israel and Pakistan to continue retaining their Nukes at any cost.
The dramatic mineral deal between the US and Ukraine evokes a famous quote from American attorney and President Nixon's political advisor, Charles Colson: "When you have them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow." This is a time when Ukraine is fighting for its survival, and powerful nations, particularly the US under Donald Trump, are primarily focused on its natural resources, prioritizing their own material interests stemming from the outcome of this conflict. This mineral deal is not just a deal but more of a war, politics and a global power shift.
While the Trump Administration's efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine War swiftly are seen as a welcoming step, Trump's underlying agenda to acquire Ukrainian minerals under the guise of resolving the conflict is being criticized globally.
A famous proverb, "With great power comes great responsibility," reminds us of another well-known quote by Abraham Lincoln: "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." In light of Trump's unilateral materialistic dictation and the Ukrainian mineral deal, the recent heated exchange between President Trump and President Zelensky has once again brought these quotes into the spotlight.
