McGovern's resolution could face the best chance of potential adoption since it has three GOP co-sponsors.

Reps Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Thomas Massey of Kentucky, and Don Bacon of Nebraska.

Bacon says he would also vote in favor of Meeks' measure.

Bacon's taking a very weird line here of, he needs congressional approval, and also I support him doing this.

So... Purely a procedural objection.

Yeah.

It's a, I want my war, but I want Congress to have a little shred of power.

Yeah.

So I think it's also worth noting what exactly is going on here.

I'm someone who's on the record as talking about how political economy in Latin America and American imperialism is usually slightly more complicated than they did.

They just want a resource, but they just want a resource here.

Yeah.

This one, this one really is.

No.

Like, so it's only like, like, like,

Bolivia, for example, everyone thinks that the whole coup in Bolivia was about lithium and it wasn't.

I'm very mad about this.

It was not.

If you look at the people, if you look at Camacho, if you look at people who were actually running that coup, they were all Bolivian agro barons because a huge part of what was going on there was a rebellion by the sort of agro business, like agricultural elite who like joined with parts of like a reactionary or middle class.

Okay.
