Afghanistan suddenly had significant 'raw earth' minerals as soon as a withdrawal seemed inevitable. It is a narrative to keep the US involved.I tried to dig into "500 billion rare earth metal", i even asked chatgpt. I couldnt find any source prior to 2014 that suggest ukraine even have those deposit. i don't even know where those deposit are located.
i sense all the rare earth talk is made up, and the whole oval office argument was an act?
