We shall see about that. In order to mine, you must put people on the ground.
Planes, Satellite and tanks can't penetrate jungles, and there are 2 places on the planet that provide the globes oxygen, it's us, and the amazon, so no, they will not be nuking it. Better ask those cacs why they haven't put troops on the ground in africa since WWII, despite us having the richest continent in the world.
Cacs never dominated us militarily. ever. That's what your book says, but that isn't true. All they did around here was put a flag into the ground, and without saying anything to anyone, claim mines as there's, meanwhile natives had no idea about flags and the idea of sovereign nations. We also didn't see much value in the things they were digging. It wasn't until a currency system was installed that we realised we were duped.
Cacs did this globally. Just went around planting flags every where. They hardly saw resistance, because people didn't know what they were doing. They never showed intent. Educate yourself. This is different times, and if they want that Iraq II, come and get some.
