US Senator Says Ukraine Is ‘Gold Mine’ with $12 Trillion of Minerals ‘We Can’t Afford to Lose’
Ukraine is a “gold mine” with $12 trillion worth of critical minerals, US Senator Lindsey Graham insisted in a TV interview. He said the West “can’t afford to lose”, and called to prevent Russia an…
Lindsey Graham, what a sniveling little shitweasel.
His name should be in the headline. He's (unfortunately) a household name.
That's right, US isn't fighting for some values or abstract freedoms, it's fighting to secure the right of the oligarchs to plunder the resources of Ukraine. Anybody who still doesn't understand this has a brain as smooth as a bowling ball.
It originally was trying to plunder the resources of Russia again, like they did in the 90's. They miscalculated and now are settling for Ukraine.
That was supposed to be the big prize, and Balkanizing Russia would allow US to surround China with puppet regimes in the west. RAND even helpfully outlined the strategy in a paper they published back in 2019 https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR3063.html
Mmm Russian propagandists going hard today, or rather, as hard as ever, ensuring to amplify the messages of individuals who already have questionable allegiance to the US in the first place. Just keep in mind the Ukrainians still want to fight. It’s not like the US are the ones trying to kill the Ukrainian president to get their way.
Tell that to the millions of Ukrainians who've fled Ukraine for Europe
Finally a good take from @discuss.tchncs.de
People who don't want Russia to acquire resources and think they should be stopped from getting them by force are not pro-Russia. Graham ALSO wants them to fight, you are in complete agreement with him. Are you also a Ruzzian stooge?
individuals who already have questionable allegiance to the US
He's protecting US global financial interests. How is his allegiance any less than any other senator? Substantiate this.
Just keep in mind the Ukrainians still want to fight.
Americans still wanted to fight at the end of the Vietnam war. I can show you many statements. The question is which Ukrainians. Substantiate this.
It’s not like the US are the ones trying to kill the Ukrainian president to get their way.
The US has tried to assassinate foreign leaders for political convenience 100s of times over the past 100 years. The US is morally inferior to Russia, which is already incredibly morally corrupt.
Which Ukrainians want to fight until they're all dead, the ones kept in the country by closed borders, the ones who are press ganged into service by conscription "recruiters"?
Russian propagandists
I love that you think you're like idk not some brainwashed idiot (like we are ofc) when, due to propaganda, you literally write off anyone critical of NATO's imperialism as "Russian propagandists"
Super great display of critical thinking
Just keep in mind the Ukrainians still want to fight.
The Azov Battalion still wants to fight, maybe. It might be more accurate to say that the Ukrainian government still wants its conscripts to fight.
Those cowards never want to fight. They stay behind and send the cannon fodder to fight for them. That's why there's so many of them left.

Pretty similar to the US invasion of Ukraine in 2014 where the President left in desperation to prevent his murder. Two wrongs definitely don't make a right, but after the US overthrew the country's government they should have understood they were going to encounter retaliation at some point.
Yeah buddy, the US invaded Ukraine in 2014 lmao
I realize you're going to try to come back at me with a bunch of "evidence" that the US worked with and supported the Maidan, but that's all true. What's also true is that the Ukrainian people are the ones who actually did the work there.
When Russia invaded Ukraine in Feb 2022, it was Russians invading. Physically invading with tanks, infantry, and artillery. In the Maidan in 2014, the Ukrainian people revolted against their government after it abandoned efforts to align with Europe in favor of aligning with Russia. The Ukrainian people want to align with Europe and the West.
Will you stop lying already. The regime the west installed in Ukraine is literally kidnapping people off the street and forcing them to fight. Even western propagandists are now admitting this, yet here you are spreading blatant misinformation https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/15/world/europe/ukraine-military-recruitment.html
Why is it necessary to cancel all consular services for Ukrainian men if they're so eager to fight? Are you sure the bloodlust and desire for battle you're perceiving isn't your own?
Cant miss with a stellar news organization like...scheerpost dot com?
Oh yay it’s Che Banana again. I’ll take Robert Scheer over US corporate media any day of the week.
Here are some uncontroversial Wikipedia entries for you. Bog-standard stuff that’s taught in schools of marketing, public relations, political science, history, and journalism.
Bringing peace is surprisingly lucrative -- for weapons contractors, black rock and now the mining industry, huh 🙈
