It does less damage to the environment than the creation and removal at the end of a car cycle's life of an electric battery.

That's the reality of the economics on an environmental scale.

But like you said, we're the fools.

We're buying it from the CCP.

We're buying it from these places in Central Africa.

We're buying it from people who have all ties to Al-Qaeda and what other version of offshoot they have.

And

While the CCP is making a ton of money, we're getting weaker.

We're just getting bamboozled by our adversary who's making money off this entire process and the people around them that are participating are growing in strength.

I think the best example to pull it out of just the lithium space a little bit, but bring it back on what I should have said in the top of the cycle is Iran is, in my opinion, the biggest kinetic threat.

They're doing the same thing, except they're not mining for lithium.

We're just giving them money.

What do I mean by that?

Joe Biden literally unfroze $7 billion that we had seized from the Iranian government like 25 years ago and gave it back to him, to the mullahs in Iran.

He literally turned the key and said, okay, you guys can have this money back.

We're going to trust you, Iran, not to create a nuclear weapon, not to fund the IRGC, not to kill Americans, not to launch another war in Israel via Hamas, Hezbollah.

And you guys just report to us how the nuke stuff is going.

Because remember, these are the guys that want it back in the JCPOA, Obama's nuclear deal.

How's that looking today?

The Secretary of State for Joe Biden just said he can't tell you how close Iran is to a nuclear weapon, but he thinks they're pretty close.
