State Department Spokesperson Tammy Bruce on Ukraine Minerals Deal and Censorship Operation

Landmark Minerals Deal with Ukraine

• 🇺🇦 A significant minerals deal has been signed between the United States and Ukraine, described as "the perfect deal" by State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce.
• 💎 The agreement aims to secure American investment in Ukraine's rare earth minerals, ensuring the safety of U.S. funds and establishing an American presence at mining sites.
• 🤝 This presence is intended to deter "bad actors" and enhance Ukraine's national security, fostering a long-term economic partnership.
• 🕊️ The deal is seen as a step towards peace and an end to the conflict, separate from ongoing ceasefire negotiations with Russia.

Biden Administration's 'Censorship Operation'

• 🚫 State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce revealed a "censorship operation" within the State Department that monitored American social media posts.
• 🕵️‍♀️ This operation, funded by taxpayer dollars, created files on citizens deemed to be spreading misinformation, including potentially a former Trump cabinet member.
• 🏛️ The bureau responsible for this operation was reportedly shut down but was subsequently renamed and continued its activities.
• ✅ Bruce confirmed that this operation has been stopped, fulfilling a promise to cease its activities and close the associated office, which cost $50 million annually.

Broader Geopolitical Context

• 💰 The discussion touches upon the substantial financial aid provided to Ukraine under the Biden administration, estimated at $350 billion, framing it as "Biden's war."
• 🇷🇺 Russia's response to the minerals deal is uncertain, with a focus on their actions rather than words, especially following a previously agreed-upon ceasefire that Russia has not fully honored.
• 🌍 The importance of American partnership is highlighted, suggesting that nations allied with the U.S. will be better off economically and in terms of security.
