There's a line from one of the mob movies.

"We didn't think of it as stealing. They were just holding what was ours in the first place."

That pretty much explains our foreign policy.

Then they have to keep troops, or mercenaries there, to guard the mines from the Taliban. Another example of Trump's "brilliance"!

After Shrubya's Iraq invasion, the pump meters on the wells were destroyed. There were articles about how it was taking forever to replace. Some journalists wrote of empty tankers coming into port that were not on the port registries, that nonetheless left with full loads.

We loot at the end of a gun barrel. We're hoping to do the same with Venezuela. Nothing has changed.

It would take a heck a lot of minerals to defray the costs of what we have spent in Afganistan.

Your cell phone needs the cobalt that is in Afghanistan.

Yes, it does. The impoverished people of Afghanistan could surely use the funds that the sale of some of their nations valuable resources might generate, no? Given an opportunity for a fair deal, they might even choose to sell some mineral and mining rights.

@WilliamCharles Yes, It is also a part of the thinking of the narcissists/sociopaths in chief who are about infinite growth on a finite planet.
