Why is the US backing an Israeli attack on Lebanon? There's a materialist answer for this. To get at Lebanon's limestone resources. pic.twitter.com/ZqIIPBj5DR

yeah we need to get that stuff that's literally fricking everywhere. The ground is made of it.
can't forget about salt, a strategic resource because it's 176 AD.
this tweet was particularly amusing. Investigative journ*list over here discovers that a huge mining conglomerate gave an entire $3,000 to Democrats
three thousand entire dollars? It's all a giant top hat WASP conspiracy to divest the innocent brown world of its extremely common resources

It's funny how commies can't remember the recent wars that were actually about natural resources or locations (Gulf War, taking out the Iranian navy from intercepting oil shipments in the Persian Gulf, invading Panama so the canal doesn't go to the dictator) so now they just Google "resources of [place in news]" as if Peepee Cheney is going to pull up to Beruit with a container ship for rocks

I wonder if Mexico
or Nicaragua 
are going to build an alternative to the Panama canal in our lifetimes. If they were sucessful at doing so, it would buckbreak the economy of Panama so hard, although it will probably still reign king considering the ammount of buckbreaking labor that took digging a hole in the Panama Isthmus. Now Imagine not relying on an isthmus, but having to create a hole from one coast to the other. Nowadays with modern feats of engineering it's probably more feasible, easier, and without tons of manual labor that was not required back then, also provided that yellow fever is not a mortal threat anymore, but could these governments ever achieve constructing a megaproject of this magnitude provided they won't just corrupt xemselves, take the money, and leave it incomplete?

Mexico is building a rail alternative to the Panama canal, and if they build it as fast as they did their other most recent rail project they might get it done in only a few years.
