700 American Army troops are now in Peru. The story is that they are there to protect Peru’s Lithium deposits. Why the Peruvians can’t do that for themselves is not explained, when they just sent troops to neighboring Chile over a dispute there.
This has been approved by their Congress, apparently with no limit set on how many of our soldiers can be there.
I smell Chinese in this and some big political bribes. China wants to control, and preferably OWN, all the world’s sources of Lithium because batteries made of it have become globally vital.
This is a big deal, don’t think it isn’t or is just another “so what” news story. The fact that NONE of the MSM are reporting on this at all should make that obvious. I think that we and our corporations in Peru have paid off their politicians to ensure that we have first rights to all the Lithium they mine, and our troops are there to fend off terror attacks instigated by agents of the Chinese.
Peru also is the second largest miner of copper in the world and copper is one of the other most vital strategic materials.
There’s talk that we’re there to support a Leftist government, but that story doesn’t hold water. They just ousted a wanna-be Commie dictator. Peru is Leftist but it has been for many decades. It’s not truly Socialist and in fact, our two governments are probably more closely aligned now than they’ve ever been before.
I believe this is part of the ongoing power struggle between World Globalism and the Chinese desire to rule the Earth. China wants to dominate South America and their wealth of natural resources, and this is a major move in the effort to prevent that, as you can see by this post:
“Recent Chinese actions, like financing a $3 billion container port, establishing a space monitoring station near the Straits of Magellan and buying lithium mining operations in three South American nations, pose increasing risks to U.S. security, senior military commanders said Wednesday.”
The Chinese have no troops in South America but now that may change. This is a developing story and it matters. I’ll keep you updated as I learn more.
