The problem here is that the US doesn’t need Ukraine for any of those things. They have their own deposits.
Trump doesn’t actually care. That’s just a cover for his real goal, which, just like his idol Putin, is a purely megalomaniacal/narcissistic desire to be remembered in history as “[Trump|Putin] the Great” for expanding the size of their respective empires.
Trump couldn’t care less which of Ukraine, or Gaza, or Greenland, or the Panama Canal Zone, or Canada that he gets a piece of, as long as he gets something. And if he fails at all of those, expect him to make up even more bullshit excuses to send the US on even more imperialist adventures.

You’re not wrong. I just like to point out the actual logical folly now and again so that people in the middle (if any are left) can see the folly.
