They already could have negotiated a win win deal. This is as much about projecting strength as it is anything else. Trump’s (and Miller’s) power is diminishing. He’s in lame duck territory and he’s basically bored of the affordability crisis. The Epstein files are part of it, but more than anything it’s about how he’s losing his grip on power. He’s trying to spark a flame that’s run out of fuel by rubbing two sticks of dynamite together, and it was probably Putin’s idea.
Trump’s probably willing to make A Deal. Something like, “Give me your minerals or I will find a pretext to invade, and take them anyway”.
Or something like that.
Miller’s gonna spank himself into a coma at the thought.
