The Battery Boom

Here is an interesting report about the "battery boom":

Take a look at this graphic which shows 50 minerals critical to US security, and note how few we have ready access to:

This suggests to me the real US plan is to balkanize the Russian Federation and steal the resources they have which we don't. Same goes for Africa, where our military incursions and drone strikes have been on the rise for quite some time.

We could have bought these minerals in the so-called "free markets", but that's not the American Way. We don't buy, we steal.

Think about that later this year when the food and energy shortages really kick in. All this was avoidable had we been who we say we are.

By the way, elections are not likely to change anything. Both Dems and Repubs belong to the same gang of thugs who would rather steal than buy.

Here is additional discussion:

Maybe we should try diplomacy instead of military aggression. Or do our "leaders" enjoy treating people like cockroaches?
