Ukraine should not have signed the minerals deal with the US. Now, they're likely going to be fucked in more than 1 ways.
What is a piece of paper worth in this Age.
The Americans have just pissed on a lot of international trade agreements, and have had a soft stance of 'rules for thee, but not for me', for the whole post war period. The Russians, don't stand by anything it seems. China has simply ignored their international trade agreements at times.
The planet turns, power fluctuates. Ukraine might not always be so reliant on the USA as it is. And the interests of their next partners may be far more closely aligned.
The worlds rules are changing as we speak. No idea where it ends up, it largely depends on the decisions of many national leaders, but i'm certain agreements made between countries in this time, means less, and is less enforceable than they were a decade or more ago.
