Phenomenal as usual... My fear is if we don't do something NOW-- we're heading for a fascist government-- something I only read/heard about first hand from survivors! Keep being proactive Khalil! We're proud of you AND we got your back♡
I really appreciate your support—it means a lot! The rise of authoritarian tendencies is something we have to stay vigilant about, especially with the lessons history has taught us. The more we learn, speak out, and act, the harder it is for history to repeat itself. Grateful to have you in this fight with me!
Great work Kahlil. My biggest fear is something that is not being discussed—the United States’ reliance on around 35 strategic minerals that support our military and come from a variety of countries (Australia, China, Peru, Chile, Brazil, etc.). The USA only produces 4 of those minerals. I don’t know how far Biden got, but he was making efforts to expand our nation’s mines in order to produce more of these minerals. Felon 47 thinks he can bully the world into handing him what he wants. What Felon 47 is about to do is isolate us. I wrote this on Christmas Eve of last year.
"hat’s a really important point! The U.S. has long relied on other countries for critical minerals, and the geopolitics around them are becoming even more intense. While domestic mining expansion could help, it also raises major environmental and Indigenous land rights concerns. It’ll be interesting (and concerning) to see how the next administration handles this. Thanks for sharing your perspective!
Kahlil, you may be too young to remember these protests: But back in the late 1980s when we were clamoring and protesting to get universities, companies, and etcetera to divest from the racist apartheid regime in South Africa, the response from Washington was often “South Africa supplies many of our strategic minerals that support our military.”
At the time, I was quite young and did not know what a strategic mineral was, but I started paying attention.
Ukraine is about as mineral rich as any country you can find on earth. Without certain minerals, the USA cannot be militarily secure and we cannot build semiconductors that support our electronics industries. And you made a damned good point about the environment and what this could mean for our First Nation brothers and Sisters. I am going to leave this discussion right here.
Biden and Nuland ensured a pointless war with Russia to enrich arms manufacturers and secure Ukraine’s resources, and Biden murdered thousands of Arab babies in Gaza to enrich arms manufacturers and ensure the myth of Zionism continue. So yeah, a few errors.
