The president of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Félix Tshisekedi, has reached out directly to President Donald J. Trump with a historic proposal: help defeat a brutal rebel force terrorizing his nation, and in return, America will gain direct access to one of the world’s richest untapped troves of critical minerals—worth an estimated $24 trillion.

What he's offering would require military occupation. We're not built for that, neither militarily nor politically.

Exactly. We are the greatest power on earth and putting American businesses there is not a bad idea.

China is actively trying to gain control of the resources and rare earth minerals on the African continent.

If we can beat them to the punch, it’ll severely hamper chinas plans.

This is definitely something to consider. The minerals are a key to our future.

This is how the Rothchild's got rich.

Loan money to embattled countries and get their minerals and land as collateral.

US military invasion(*) and occupation of a foreign country, in an effort to gain control of its natural resources ...

What could go wrong?





(*)semantic ambiguity

Not just a "foreign country", an African country.

We need rare minerals for our national security. They are vital. If we have to kill some rebels to get it, then so be it.
