๐ฅ๐ง๐ท JUST IN: President Lula just said what every Global South nation should be saying: critical minerals are ours. If you want them, come set up here. Produce here. Generate development here. We are no longer colonized countries. We will not give up our sovereignty.
The West has spent centuries extracting Africa's minerals, Latin America's lithium, Asia's rare earths. Taking. Exploiting. Leaving nothing but poverty and pollution. Now the world needs these resources for the green transition, and they think the old model still works.
No. Not anymore.
The era of extraction without development is over. The era of sovereignty without compromise has begun. Lula said it. The people feel it. And the world better listen.
Former Prime Minister of Qatar Hamad bin Jassim:
"As soon as we declare war on Iran, America will withdraw from the conflict, sell weapons to both sides, and use our resources to defeat both sides and expand the Greater Israel project."
Nearly 700,000 people โ including about 200,000 children โ have been displaced in Lebanon in just 10 days of war in the Middle East, according to UNICEF.
Food and fuel prices are surging as the conflict spreads across the region.

โAll people have a personality; it is a mistake to conflate personality styles with โdisorders.โ Unfortunately, the DSM, from 1980 on, has led many clinicians to make just this mistake.
To include personality styles in a taxonomy of โdisorders,โ the framers of DSM-III described personality styles in their most extreme and pathological forms. As a result, many clinicians learned to ignore personality entirely, unless a patient meets criteria for a specific DSM-defined personality disorder.
Some now equate any clinical reference to personality with pathology. As a result, clinical understanding of personality has generally devolved rather than evolved.โ

To ravage, slaughter, and destroy; to usurp under false pretense; to devastate a society, to create a desertโฆand then frame this all as bringing progress and call it peace is preposterousโฆitโs also the greatest war crime of our lifetime.
