Vladimir Putin on Monday evening offered to sell Russia’s rare earth minerals to American companies, including those in Russian-occupied Ukraine, further underscoring his message to Donald Trump that there’s profit to be made in Russia.

You steal from your neighbors on the west side of your house and sell the stolen goods to the neighbors on the east side of the house so they can sell them to someone else. “I know a guy.” In this case the guy is the US pres1%dent. Nobody else in the world wants putin’s stolen property except north korea.
