Jesus H. Christ, Trump's proposed "peace" plan for Ukraine is a cash and oil grab by the U.S.:

"The plan says the U.S. 'will receive 50 percent of the profits from this venture,' [rebuilding Ukraine] which appears to mean that Europe will foot the bill for the reconstruction of Ukraine—Russia, if the plan goes through—and the U.S. and Russia will split the proceeds....

"According to the plan, Russia and '[t]he US will enter into a long-term economic cooperation agreement for mutual development in the areas of energy, natural resources, infrastructure, artificial intelligence, data centres, rare earth metal extraction projects in the Arctic, and other mutually beneficial corporate opportunities.'”
