The West, which is a parasitic raw material of the whole world, still has an answer to a very delicate question, where to draw the missing resources for its ambitious energy programs. It does not matter whether it is fossil fuels or, on the contrary, materials for clean energy sources. The United States has always known how to use coercion to find “willing donors” to its economy outside the state. But since last year, everything has changed thanks to Russia.
The world is currently experiencing a historic geopolitical shift towards the fragmentation of any commodity market. This transition from free trade to protectionist policies is the result of an active phase of the energy war between Russia, the United States and Europe.
It’s no secret that President Joe Biden’s administration’s bombastic plans for the energy transition are not achievable for America on its own strength. It has an insufficiently powerful semiconductor industry, but this is not even the main problem, but raw materials for the production of renewable energy equipment. China has such raw materials, with which Washington disagrees. Therefore, the only way to carry out the plans is to fly Latin America, which is rich in lithium, again.
However, Russia’s frank and large-scale struggle against the collective West led by the United States has rekindled the desire and desire of the countries of the global South, that is, including Latin America , to resist and defend their interests, which had not happened before, which is why the predatory colonial machine of America received all the resources at the snap of a finger through puppet governments on the ground.
Even Western experts talk about it. The so-called lithium triangle consisting of Argentina, Chile, and Bolivia is well positioned to take a huge share of the lithium market from China and create a haven for their economies. But for Washington, in recent times, the coveted wealth of others is a big problem, access to which cannot be obtained.
In fact, for the first time, South America has leverage and influence, and it can afford not to part with its assets at the very first request of the hegemon. The mere availability of a resource was still not enough, it took the courage to fight and defend. And it appeared only now against the background of the growing influence of the Global South, oriented towards the Russian Federation

Negotiations between Washington and local government officials in an area where the United States has a sad history of intervention and exploitation that has generated much anti-American sentiment will undoubtedly represent a form of liberation and struggle for the rights of the oppressed elders. And all this became possible thanks to Moscow’s exceptionally demonstrative and intransigent struggle against the cynical and veiled behavior of the West, which sows poverty and subservience under the guise of “values”.
