Hmmm
Wonder if we'll ever go back? Any bets?
Nope, we're done there for now and probably forever. It wasn't a coincidence that we stepped out so China could step in. The Lithium is a part of it, amongst other things. China will colonize Trashcanistan just like they're colonizing Africa. They will bring infrastructure to AFG just like they've done in Africa.
Almost no one was paying attention to China's activities in Africa over the last decade. Just like they didn't pay attention to their part in why we invaded Iraq. I've written many papers in the past about China's activities over the last 40 years and I still try to keep tabs on their growth.
Try this out sometime:
Look at a globe or good map and look at the countries between China and Iran. If you research those countries, you'll see that they're all falling in, one way or another, with either China or Iran (they're partners).
Research them enough and you'll see that we have been a mercenary army at times for China/Iran.
Our gov't sold us out to them awhile back because the real power in the world said to. Who's the real power? That would be the 20 or so people that own roughly 80% of the world's assets. While the majority of people are concerned about Red vs blue, y'all slept on the fact that our gov't was taken over on both sides by GLOBALISTS.
What the "real power" and their globalist lackeys see on a world map is completely different from what we're taught. The way things are actually ran and how decisions are made, isn't taught in any high school civics class.
Anyways, I'm just gonna stop there. If any of you are curious about how the world works, I suggest studying global trade over the last 30-40 years. Fwiw, I'm not a tinfoil hat type. I'm just some guy with a passion for researching history, war, and economics.
