Sanctions created solely due to racism; and a gold rush created solely by investor hype with zero actual end user products produced that have ever turned a profit.

Neither of these things affect the average person positively, and never will. So one again has to ask, why is this news? Elon Musk has like 20 children by ten different women. Do I give a shit? No. Is it news? No. Bill Gates fucks kids and likely murdered at least 3 people in the 1990s during Microsoft's hyper-aggressive mob-like expansion. Is that news? Not really.

This is two capitalists making deals for their companies to make the largest profit, with no outcome benefiting a single working class person anywhere on earth. It's not news.
