To go back to the topic of OAS, I think it would be better if there was a pan-American organization that singularly focused on infrastructure projects and other avenues of mutual aid among all members, and didn't ask questions about how individual countries ran their affairs.

There should be a pan Latin American organization. The United States should be in no way involved south of the border.

The United States and Canada are just too culturally different and the only way they’d want to be involved is to subjugate the other nations.

I plan to live forever, of course, but barring that I'd settle for a couple thousand years. Even 500 would be pretty nice.

Same in Brazil, violent crime unfortunately fostered a very bloodthirsty desire to slaughter every "criminal" on sight by a large part of the population.

So you mean CELAC which exists since 2011 and Bolsonaro rejected by withdrawing Brazil from it in 2020.

You would think nationalist Brazilians would take advantage of such an org to subjugate the Hispanophones since the Anglos aren't involved

fun fact, lithium is a primordial element - it isn't synthesized from any hydrogen/helium fusion process. That's why it's more rare than other heavier elements.

Chile and Argentina are two of the top four lithium producers in the world so that'd be quite the powerhouse if they were able to form their own economic agreement on lithium extraction.

Australia and China are the other two.

Yeah and what about Bolivia too?

I was also under the impression that the Congo was “the Saudi Arabia of lithium.”

Maybe they’ve just extracted that little of their proven resources so they have little reserves?

Allegedly Mexico has the world's largest known lithium reserves at an estimatedd 244 million tonnes, so either they were discovered since 2019 or that chart is nonsense.

Looks like they're just listing current suppliers/reserves. I guess neither country has started mining or processing lithium in substantial quantities.

Yeah, it was more meant as a snapshot of where things were before the big finds in Mexico, which, along with the Bolivian reserves are certainly going to shift who the big producers are if they can get their reserves into production. Australia has a ton of production but relatively little in reserve (although they still have a lot).

Canada as three mining companies in a trench coat isn't too far off. I'm glad AMLO told them to gently caress off, and I'm sure Bolivian has done the same thing unless they tackled their own prospecting.

When you've got the world's largest reserves of one of its rarest commodities, you'd be insane not to nationalize it.

Also, the tests that he is finding in his early weeks of his administration are giving him aren't promising.

His approval rating is already down 30%.

Politicians elected by a liberal democracy are going to defend the structure that upholds it because that's what gives them power, regardless of political leaning. You're not going to have a state that supports its own destitution.
