United States Senator, Lindsey Graham, stated on revealed on CBS News what the Ukrainian war is all about. And it is not about preserving "democracy," or gay/trans rights. Or even to stop Vlad Putin rolling into Europe. Nope, it is all about the minerals, including rare earths that are there. And who would want the Russkies to get their hands on that?

"They're sitting on 10-12 trillion Dollars of critical minerals in Ukraine. They could be the richest country in all of Europe. I don't want to give that money and those assets to Putin to share with China.
If we help Ukraine now, they can become the best business partner we ever dreamed of. That 10-12 trillion Dollars of critical mineral assets could be used by Ukraine and the West, not given to Putin and China.
This is a very big deal how Ukraine ends. Let's help them win a war we can't afford to lose. Let's find a solution to this war but they're sitting on a gold mine. To give Putin 10-12 trillion Dollars of critical minerals that he will share with China is ridiculous."
