Latin America Wants to Create the OPEC of Lithium. Here's What That Could Mean. 

well, the US is pushing hte Western economy, so kinda wrong to just point at US, alot of corporations, mining companies oil rigs etc are invaulved in this, u know NATO

South America, I could see it. Latin America is too big to make a union. And all Lithium is there in the South too. This video could be better titled.

Time for a US backed coup

That's why Uncle Sam's already talking about invading Mexico in the name of stopping the drug trade.

Was about to say this

And it's important to point at the fact that the mexican right politic class is not only in favour of a miitary US intervention but they're requesting directly the US to intervene!!!

She'll find her cookies to be a hard sell.

Not at all... Lithium batteries will be for high quality applications such trucks, industrial machinery, energy storing and luxury cars. Sodium will be chosen when your application is target to massive production like mainstream cars and electronics.

I think that creating a multilateral organization would make it harder for the socialization of lithium production to be brushed aside in any one of those countries like they tried in Bolivia. I don't doubt the u.s. would like to openly invade South America but that wouldn't leave them much room to save face. Also the u.s. military has had a long string of losses on the battlefield and has been struggling with recruitment. They're rightfully afraid of Vietnam Syndrome causing unrest at home and mutiny in the military, because Americans have even more connections with South America than they did with Southeast Asia. I don't think they'd be nearly as successful at dehumanizing south Americans in the eyes of the general public as they were with Afghanis and Iraqis

​@@thematronsmilitia The US is also a desperate empire and leadership so corrosively corrupt that they have zero regard for their own country's state of well being which means that rational decision making is likely out the window for the US. Also, Americans are so brainwashed and apathetic (decades of propaganda at the works) that I don't see Vietnam syndrome ever happening unless the problem directly affected too many people in the US personally to be ignored. You underestimate America's ability to dehumanize, we even dehumanize ourselves a lot. I think what saves those three countries is simply that the US can't afford to start a conflict with them at the moment while they are still dealing with Ukraine and starting shit in Taiwan against China.

They can join BRICS.

They need strong security/military allies e.g. China & Russia. Else thses nations will likely be coup, and/or bomb just like Libya.

They'll have to bring back slaves to extract it nearly as efficiently as they currently are from SA
