Bolivia Signs Away Its Lithium, a Critical ‘Green’ Tech Metal, to Russia and China
Breitbart ^ | 06/30/2023 | Christian K. Caruzo

Posted on 06/30/2023 1:42:00 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Bolivia’s socialist President Luis Arce signed contracts with both China and Russia on Thursday to hand over control of the country’s two largest lithium deposits.

Bolivia is home to some of the world’s largest known lithium resources.

The contracts, which amount to $1.4 billion, will see state-owned Citic Guoan (of China’s CITIC Group) and Uranium One Group (of Russia’s Rosatom) work alongside the state-owned Bolivian Lithium Deposits (YLB) company to build two lithium carbonate processing plants.

Who the hell was minding the store? Oh, right, this is part of the Bribem deal with China.

That's what I was thinking. Senile Biden is too busy wandering off TV news sets to be bothered with this. Yet he is the ass hoe always talking up battery powered cars. Good gracious but Bolivia used to fall under our sphere of influence.

The ChiComs took over Bolivia without firing a shot.

They just bought its pols.

Works every time it’s tried.

Has Lindsey Graham made a statement about needing to invade Bolivia yet? It’s been at least two hours.

China is in Cuba. Their influence is growing big time in Peru.

America seems to no longer have influence and it did not just begin under Biden. China’s been making deals and offering economic help to Peru even during the Trump years and before.

“This is part of the Bribem deal with China.”

“My dad’s sitting here on the couch right next to me. If you want those Bolivian lithium deposits, that $10 million better be in the Swiss account by close of business today. We Biden’s can hold long grudges if we don’t get our way.”

Who writes these headlines? They didn’t sign away anything they made a deal to sell some of their resources for some money. It might not be a good deal but they have the eventual ability to recover their resources at a later date if things don’t go the way they hoped. It might not be easy to get out of the deal but they can always use whatever military power they have. Personally I don’t think countries should be making deals with communist regimes but all nations do it so that their ruling class can have a good life. Our country does it all the time. We do it at a personal level every time we shop on Amazon. We have signed away our entire country.

$1.4 billion, yet we’ve given $100 billion to Ukraine. What’s more in our national interest.

Usually with Biden’s regime, they send their slimy people like Samantha Power and Nuland to countries. They promise money and all that and then demand they bow to Globohomo. Some submit. Others decide to join Brics.

We are a communist regime. We no longer have a border and we are actually no longer a country.

Would be a shame if Hydrogen powered vehicles put the EV’s in the dustbin of history.

Wonder what they'd do with all that lithium that was no longer critically necessary.

“Bolivia Signs Away Its Lithium, a Critical ‘Green’ Tech Metal, to Russia and China”

I suspect that the ambassadors of Russia and China didn’t hang Gay Pride Flags in full view of Bolivians, nor did they try to force Gay Pride Parades and Groom on Bolivia.

So, good for Russia and China, they treat Third World countries with RESPECT and in return they can now sell Bolivian Lithium to us and Europe now at Double or Triple the original prices.

“China is in Cuba...Russian troops in Venezuela”

Soon to add Mexico to that list, and there’s not much we can do about it, since we’ve told Russia that whatever we do regarding militarizing Ukraine against Russia is none of Russia’s business.

Biden gets his cut.

What a good investment for the Chinese. What did it cost them bribing the Biden klan? 40 million bucks? IN exchange for TRILLIONS going in to their economy for the green energy scam.

Some day Bolivia will be blaming these nations for stealing their natural resources, just like the colonizers of past ages.

“Sign it away”, or sell it for a good price?
