Ukraine Will Win
Ukraine is not a burden to the West but a valuable investment
Ukraine has offered America a deal that Donald Trump can’t refuse.
President Volodymyr Zelensky wants American businesses to invest in his country’s natural resources, worth $26 trillion, equivalent to Canada’s or Australia’s mineral wealth. Zelensky also pledges that Ukraine’s military will help protect Europe’s security after the war.
Ideally, a Marshall Plan using $350 billion of frozen Russian assets will also help rebuild Ukraine, as will Westerners who partner with Ukraine’s resource, industrial, and technology sector, the Silicon Valley of Europe.
By contrast, after Trump’s election, the Russians responded by escalating their murderous attacks on Ukrainian civilians and cities, making nuclear threats again, and Russian State TV congratulated Trump and then aired nude photos from Melania Trump’s modeling past.
However, Zelensky’s pitch to Trump is a “wise move to show that Ukraine is not a burden for the West…Trump wants to be a winner, not a loser,” said Ukrainian Member of Parliament Oleksandr Merezhko. “To become a winner, he must show Putin his place.”
This business approach by Zelensky is part of his “Victory Plan” and has been shown to Trump. It is not off-base or insulting to talk about dollars and cents. It is inspired and appropriate, turning Ukraine from a burden into a prize.
It also mirrors Putin’s obsession with Ukraine, which has been more about money than about erasing or subjugating an ethnic group. He is a trillionaire tycoon who controls a nasty oligarchy that has exploited and harvested the resources of Ukraine and other former “colonies” for decades, as did Czars before them.
Putin’s invasion on Feb. 24, 2022, aimed to reconquer Ukraine and grab its massive resource endowment. In business terms, the calculus is simple: If the war costs $500 billion and Russia loses its $350 billion in frozen assets seized by Western banks, the capture of $26 trillion in resources, or even half or a quarter of that, represents a spectacular return on investment.
The West has been enormously generous to Ukraine and deserves to be rewarded and reimbursed for its military and humanitarian aid expenditures.
It can also help rebuild the country.

Watch:
“The war Ukraine is fighting isn’t just about NATO or territorial disputes — it’s about survival. Ukraine’s struggle is about preserving a nation, culture, and right to live free from tyranny. These aren’t abstract concepts or buzzwords for us; they’re lived realities.”
So much similarity right here in Canada (absent the tanks, bombs, missiles and landmines) to what Ukrainians are facing. Preserving our nation (from the globalists). Protecting our culture (insane levels of non-assimilating foreigners flooding the country). Living free from tyranny (ask a trucker to explain if you still don’t get it). The Ukrainians have Putin to contend with, we have Trudeau.
Chinese dictatorship admiring (by his own admission) Trudeau must be envious of Putin’s “ability to get things” done beyond measure.
