Along that same line of thought, why not invade Canada? They’ve got lots of oil, trees, and beer up there. All ripe for the taking.

Allowing a Russian victory in the conflict would deprive America of access to vast mineral resources, Lindsey Graham says
In an interview with 'Face the Nation' on CBS on Sunday, Graham accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of being a "megalomaniac" who is attempting to "re-create the Russian Empire by force of arms," starting with Ukraine. He further claimed that if Moscow wins the current conflict, it will then take over Ukraine's wealth and share it with China. Graham described that prospect as "ridiculous," suggesting it would be better if this "gold mine" were available to the US instead.
"They're sitting on 10 to $12 trillion of critical minerals in Ukraine. They could be the richest country in all of Europe... If we help Ukraine now, they can become the best business partner we ever dreamed of, that $10 to $12 trillion of critical mineral assets could be used by Ukraine and the West, not given to Putin and China," Graham stated.

Faggots are often predatory vampires.
Shut up, Linda. Talk about the trillions of potential $$$ in lithium from the Marcellus Shale fracking water instead.
Foreign Aid: Poor people in rich countries giving money to rich people in poor countries................
He thinks we are prepaying our trillions of Ukrainian metals?
Lindsay, those will be offered up to the future highest bidder, and our monies haven’t bought anything. For that matter, they aren’t even beginning to be extracted, and, didn’t we say similar stuff about money spent in Afghanistan? How did that turn out for you, Lindsay?
Did he just pull this out of his ass? Ukraine has been known as a major wheat growing region. I’ve never once heard about the mineral wealth in Ukraine.
We spent trillions on aid to Africa and what did it get us? The Chinese have moved in and taken the natural resource wealth there.
This is the lamest excuse yet to keep the war in Ukraine going.
Ukraine is a gold mine, alright...for US politicians, not for minerals.
Regardless of who owns the gold mines, the gold will be mined and sold. Not a problem. If anything Russia will have less interference from western greenies.
Limp-wrist Lindsey has never seen a war he doesn’t want us involved.

This fayg is up to his eyeballs in Ukraine corruption.
They’re not even a real country, anyway.
I wonder how much of it is a gold mine to U.S. senators.
Hey Lindsey, at least you're being honest and not wrapping yourself in the American flag.

Lindsey Graham @LindseyGrahamSC
Ukraine has trillions of dollars worth of critical minerals in their country.
Vladimir Putin cannot be allowed to access that money and those resources because he will share it with China.

Maybe he’s trying to use this empty promise to try to get Trump on board with keeping Ukraine as a CIA puppet state.

“10% for the Big Guy”
So this is all a predatory land grab for the likes of BlackRock huh Lindsey?
