I was skeptical of this take but making up some bullshit to accuse someone of a crime in defense of Trump only for it to completely fall apart, then acting outraged and refusing to apologize for any of it really does sound like Vance VP material.

Bleak tidbit from Regime Change — Bessent attempted a Hitler-style shakedown of Zelenskyy as one of his first acts as Treasury Secretary

“Bessent’s proposal would require Ukraine to pay the United States 50 percent of future revenue from state-owned natural resources, including hydrocarbons and rare earth minerals. The document prescribed very specific commitments from Ukraine, but offered no security commitments from the United States. Even though the minerals deal had been Zelensky’s idea, part of the “Victory Plan for Ukraine” he had recently unveiled, he was shocked by Bessent’s terms.
Zelensky explained that he was leading his country through a particularly violent phase of the three-year-old war, and insisted that he and his staff needed more time to consider the proposal. Bessent saw things very differently. He had traveled nearly five thousand miles to an active war zone to obtain Zelensky’s signature, and now Zelensky was telling him no.
“You need to sign this,” Bessent urged. “The purpose of this is to show that there is no daylight” between the U.S. and Ukraine.
Zelensky, furious, replied that the document was an attack on Ukraine’s sovereignty. This was not the way international agreements worked—this was a shakedown.”
