    Well, yeah. Did you think the US supported them out of the kindness of their hearts? One can certainly wish

    Funny how things change .

    I got banned from this sub for saying what this war was about, over a year ago.

    Now it’s a celebrated comic.

    This is standard, long term US behaviour. Look at Iraq, look at any South American country.

      The sad thing is they think bad things start and end with one man and not at all a result of ignoring all the shit your country does without consequences.

      No, rare earth minerals are a class of minerals. They are actually very common, but they are expensive to refine because they normally don’t accumulate in high-yield lodes or ore bands like iron, nickel, cobalt and gold, they are just sparsely distributed among other geological mediums, and so you have to process shitloads of material to extract tiny percentages of them. Therefore the places where they are naturally concentrated higher are quite sought after.

        I was making fun of Trump. In a recent video With Zelenskyy, he kept saying “raw earth” instead of rare earth minerals.
