💥🇧🇷 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.
