Thank you, I hate how we sugar coat it and act like it's for something humanitarian. For example the whole KONY 2012 thing. How magically we care about children in Africa being forced to become child soldiers.

I don't want to sound like an asshole, but this stuff happens all of the time, we use slave labor for most of our cheap clothing. Why did we just magically care about child soldiers in Africa? It was really for expansion to build more military bases in Africa. The Chinese currently control 95% of the rare earth minerals, so that's why we're fighting over Africa, it's just really for resources. We need rare earths minerals, for cameras, LED's wind turbines, lasers, TV's. Most importantly the military needs rare earth minerals the most The US military is currently being compromised, because of Chinese rare earth mineral domination.

Great post. Thanks
