I think seeing all of this just as a "resources" issue is limiting. It's a screen for people who don't see a little beyond it all. If you only see him with the manual of "international treaties" under his arm, you only see that, a war for "natural resources". If they can't see beyond, the meaninglessness of this world would drive us crazy because nothing makes sense. But that "nonsense" is their system, so it is functional for them to generate the results that only benefit them and inherent to a greater purpose as well.
They always had the resources at hand, it was never impossible, unlike them, who when they have them, sanction and block everyone.
There is not a leftist or anyone in Ukraine against their aims of conquering natural resources. Ah! but they started killing people/human resources in those areas to also pull Russia into a conflict. They could have stayed only until the coup, but it was not enough, it was not the only objective.
For example, "Brazil is shaping up to be the world's largest oil producer by 2025." now they have Lula as a pawn... why the hell create a conflict in Venezuela or another country close to them for the same thing? Maduro has never refused to negotiate the purchase and sale of oil with the EE.UU. Oh, they just don't want to pay for it, plus they say it's a worse kind of oil, so what the hell do they want? put another pawn in power and that's it. It's just that they're really annoying, a pineapple on the ass.
Russia has a better way to generate the gas they need in Europe, they have benefited from it, ah! they kicked the table the moment the EE.UU ordered them and now they have the gall to say that Russia wants to keep all the gas.
The worst thing is that wherever they go, from our perspectives, they damage everything. In the event that these psychopaths achieve the conquest of Russia, China, Venezuela, Iran, etc. They will damage everything and make the world worse because it is their nature, they need to generate misery.
Even the issue of money doesn't even make sense anymore. How many more millions do these companies need? by God if everything they earn is enough to maintain the world if only they would change the way they exploit resources and people. That hasn't worked either and it doesn't suit them. They create the necessary misery to then offer a solution with no real intention of doing anything. Because that's their goal, just to create "problems". Every minimal thing that can be useful for humanity, they use only proportionately to destroy and annoy!
Every year I read "such a country will be the largest exporter in this or that"... in other words, there are plenty of resources!, just sit down to negotiate, but no, it's a call to dethrone, kill, cleanse, conquer and fill your belly. Predators at last.
Psychopaths can leave Trump with an America in very bad state, so bad as they want, but if Trump decides to create a strong "publicity relationship" with Putin (and/or China?) with it, that allows him not to continue allocating his resources that contribute to the deterioration of the US, stopping the war in Ukraine, controlling the fighting dogs better in Europe, in addition to the great internal cleaning in your country that is not easy at all, it is very nice to be true that ramification, but the chaos cannot be less, too much disturbance for psychopaths, too much loss of control for them and necessary to create resistance.
Trump can't keep playing everyone's enemy, he has to ally with those who were his enemies before, because the allies of the United States at the moment, they are the worst employees he can have. They will bankrupt your company/country, which is surely the intention. Massive layoff! They will also be crying for unjustified dismissal... the last straw (laughter).
