🎙️ EP#283 | DSD | Trump’s Ukraine Press Conference – What Really Happened?
Over the weekend, social media exploded with debates about Friday’s Trump-Zelensky press conference, but did anyone actually watch the full 57-minute event? In this episode, we cut through the viral soundbites to uncover what really happened.
This presser was meant to announce a U.S.-Ukraine agreement involving financial aid and a 50% split of Ukraine’s rare earth minerals. But instead, things got tense—Zelensky pushed back, Trump focused on the deal, and JD Vance & Marco Rubio’s body language spoke volumes. Trump also claimed this war would’ve never started under his presidency, revealed his recent talks with Putin, and slammed Biden for never negotiating with Russia.
We also deep dive into the war’s roots, covering the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, the 2014 U.S.-backed coup in Ukraine, NATO expansion, and why this conflict might be Afghanistan 2.0 for the military-industrial complex. Plus, why does Zelensky never wear a suit, and could Elon Musk’s obsession with rare earth minerals explain his global influence?
🔥 Top 5 Key Points:
1️⃣ The Real Purpose: The deal centered on U.S. aid & a 50-50 mineral split, but Zelensky seemed to have different priorities.
2️⃣ Tensions Rise: Zelensky repeatedly brought up Europe’s role, suggesting this deal was just the beginning.
3️⃣ The War’s Deep Roots: This didn’t start in 2022—we explore the U.S.-backed 2014 coup, NATO’s expansion, and Ukraine’s lost peace talks.
4️⃣ Trump & Putin: Trump says his talks with Putin could end the war quickly, slamming Biden for never engaging Russia.
5️⃣ The Zelensky Suit Debate: Should he wear a suit? Plus, a wild theory on Elon Musk, AI, and lithium.
