Oil reserves in Venezuela and Canada, rare earth minerals in Greenland, Trump offering Putin Alaska's rare earth minerals because he failed to deliver him Ukraine and it's rare earth minerals -- and Trump is willing to send our military to die for this. For HIM!

"Those who doubt the centrality of minerals to U.S. strategy should consider the recent agreement between Washington and Kyiv, which granted U.S. entities preferential access to Ukraine's mineral reserves as partial repayment for wartime assistance.

Whatever one thinks about that arrangement, one thing is clear: minerals are emerging as geopolitical currency.

And Venezuela has the kind of mineral wealth " $1.36 trillion, according to Venezuelan President Nicols Maduro " that can shape the next century."

They have the world's largest oil reserves. That's really all you need to know. Invading for access to oil is what the US does. The minerals definitely sweeten the deal.

Both are irresistible as gold (and underage girls) to the Fuehrer in Chief.

Of course it is.

Project 2025 goal was to increase the US military strength to implement right wing agenda in the western hemisphere.

Venezuela is a prime target.

Just another day for the Temu Peace Prize Preznit.

It's ALL ours now!

Of course it's ours. Like the Gulf of America.

Plant a flag or just call it America and it's ours!

It even has our name already! We don't even have to change it this time.

You too Canada. Your next. Or should I say North America?

I don't live in a glass house.

And a thrown stone gathers no moss.

Stealing another country's wealth is one of those awful ideasthat's fermented for quite a while inside Trump's imagination, where he nurses the fever dreams:

"You know, it used to be the victor belong the spoils," Trump told NBC News' Matt Lauer. "Now, there was no victor there, believe me. There was no victory. But I always said, take the oil."

And Dummkopf Trumpf had railed against all the previous POTUS administrations for not extracting Afghanistan's mineral wealth during our 20-year occupation propping up a corrupt regime: www.pbssocal.org

Our brave young men and women should get killed or maimed in Pashtunistan so the US military-industrial complex (MIC) and hi-tech companies can make more profits.

Meanwhile "Cadet Bone Spurs" artfully dodged military service during the Vietnam War.

Now the Vulture-in-Chief is malignantly eyeing the resources of Venezuela and the US Congress is not impeaching him for abusing the AUMF and other heresies.
