Botswana rare earth find shakes supply chains
A major rare earth and critical minerals discovery in northwest Botswana could alter global supply dynamics dominated by China.
"Military models Canadian response to hypothetical American invasion
Armed Forces envision insurgency tactics like those used by Afghan mujahedeen, sources say. But officials and experts stress a U.S. operation is unlikely, and the scenarios are conceptual"
I really, really hope this is science fiction but the speeches of the White House Putin buddy are worring.
Will at least the American soldiers know their duties regarding unlawful ordres?
Breaking news of a U.S. coup d'etat in Venezuela. Unlike the Reagan era, Trump does not hide but proudly proclaims his war crimes. Well done Nobel Peace Prize committee in emboldening this megalomaniac. #venezuala #usInvasion #uspol https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01-03/venezuela-explosions-low-flying-aircraft/106196656
Canada should cooperate with Mexico to annex the USA. Mexico would recover its lost territories and Canada would eliminate its southern threat.

#Trump confirmed on Sunday that he had pressed #Mexico’s president to let #US #troops into the country to *help* fight drug cartels, an idea she summarily rejected.
Trump told reporters…that it was “true” he had made the push w/Pres #ClaudiaSheinbaum.…
Sheinbaum also confirmed that Trump made the suggestion, & that she rejected it. Mexico & the US can “collaborate,” she recalled telling him, but “with you in your territory & us in ours.”

I'm a #USinvasion of #Vietnam #WarSurvivor. I won't shut up about #Palestine. Me & my family understand the fear & terror felt. Palestinians have it worse than we did; and we lost many family members, relatives & friends & our family home during US bombings. We feel empathy & compassion for Palestinians under constant siege by #IsraeliTerrorists.
Many of us #CitizensOfTheWorld will #NeverForget this massacre & who helped fund it all.

Orange Crush by #REM wasn't about the soda pop but about #AgentOrange used by #USMilitary #ForeignInvasion #war on #Vietnam. Agent Orange killed plants, trees, wildlife & people. It toxified soils & waters. It's still killing & disabling people to this day. US Military folks got some help. My family & millions of other survivors from #USGovernment decisions still continue to suffer & die. It is not right. It has been decades of injustices against our peoples & almost everyone forgot about the civilians who still suffer. FUCK YOUR MILITARY MEDALS.
Michael Stipe's Dad had served in the helicopter corps during the #USInvasion war on our peoples. He suffered illnesses from AO exposures.

We are here. War children. Who grew up. We are still angry as hell & want reparations for our dead family members. Fuck your mass murder 'heroes' who shot & bombed our women & children.

Mom says all the dead kids in Palestine remind her too much of dead Vietnamese kids' bodies she helped to remove from Saigon streets, for over a decade during #USInvasion #WarOnVietnam. There's no true US heroes who went to Vietnam to #MassMurder our peoples. There was only clueless soldiers sent to kill us. Some soldiers repented a lot since. They turned against the government. They stopped believing war was an answer. They stopped calling themselves, heroes.
You are not a hero of any sort if you are still OK with the fact that USA shouldn't have tried to mass murder us. You are not fully against fascism, if you do not understand that war children who grew up, won't ever forgive your country for killing almost all of our family members.

#Transcription of my #speech for #deaf folks - as it wasn't provided on vid.
Hi, everyone. Thank you for showing up with #community #solidarity, to call for a #PermanentCeasefire in support of #Palestinians who are suffering #famine & #genocidal violence under #Israeli occupational forces.
My name is Que & I'm a survivor of the #USinvasion #WarOnVietnam. I was a #WarChild conceived & born under active shelling & had #IntergenerationalTrauma pre & post birth.
We were #displaced from our homes & survived in a #RefugeeCamp in Indonesia for a year. We were sponsored to come to Canada in late 1979 as #WarRefugees, seeking #asylum.
My patriarch family lived in #Cholon the #Chinese District in #Saigon & my matriarch family lived in a tiny village near Can Tho near the Hau River in #SouthVietnam. Both sides of my family had already lived through multiple foreign invasions & foreign militarized imperialism & colonialism by the time the US invaded & occupied our lands.
Many of us living Vietnam war civilian survivors can relate so well to the many struggles, the suffering, the violent foreign occupation & also the passionate resilience & resistance of the Palestinian peoples.
Throughout the 1960s into the 1970s both areas that my family lived in were carpet bombed. My Matriarch family village was bombed out of existence by 1970. The rebuilding took 18 years. Cholon was #CarpetBombed twice & the scenes from those aftermaths are eerily similar to the scenes from #Gaza after #Israel carpet bombed the area.
The #USmilitary used #Vietnamese #civilians as involuntary guinea pigs. They tested out never used before #WarMunitions including #biochemical warfare like #AgentOrange & #NerveGasBombs on our peoples.
Our peoples, our lands, our waters - still suffer the toxic & deadly effects from the illegal - illegal #biowarfare chemical uses by the #USA to this day & our peoples & especially our children are still suffering from the many leftover war munitions, exploding, maiming & killing innocent civilians.
Israel is treating the Palestinian peoples very much like the USA had treated our Vietnamese peoples. Like we are not human. We do not deserve to live. The dehumanization of Palestinians is too similar to how the USA dehumanized our Vietnamese peoples. We're savages. We are vermin. We're stupid tunnel rats. We're gooks & we deserve to die.
The USA bombed our #schools, our #hospitals, our #temples, our #ResidentialAreas - just like Israel has bombed schools, hospitals, temples & residential areas in Palestine. The USA has more powerful weapons of mass destruction while fighting resistance forces with much less firepower. The Vietnamese #ResistanceForces also used #TunnelSystems & some of them are now part of an #educational #LivingMuseum.
Vietnam is now #SovereignNation because the occupational militarized US forces left which opened up our path to #DiplomaticNegotiations. Palestinians deserve their true path to diplomatic Solutions too. They deserve a sovereign state. That can not happen without a permanent - not a temporary - a permanent ceasefire - an end to #IllegalOccupation by Israel.
You cannot occupy & oppress a people & claim you are a #democracy. True #Democratic states do not occupy & oppress people for decades. True Democratic states do not jail, murder & deny #PressFreedom to #journalists. True democratic states do not arrest, vilify, nor illegally detain their own citizens with dissenting voices. True democratic states don't continue to violate multiple #InternationalLaws so openly & so disrespectfully.
Israel has become too #arrogant that's mainly due to the Western powers like the USA & #Canada continuing to put their #WarProfiteer interests over #humanitarian & global #PublicInterests.
At a time when we need an arms embargo on Israel, the US & Canada sent billions more in war munitions & funding to Israel. It is shameful.
Our politicians tell us there's not enough money to fund more essential health & medical service needs. There's not enough money to increase the pay scale of essential medical staff. There's not enough money to fund environmental protection & cleanups. There's not enough to help our seniors & disabled not live in poverty anxiety. There's not enough to fund safer, more inclusive, accessible education. There's not enough to provide more low income & some more support of housing for our most marginalized citizens. These are all citizen needs that our governments have told they cannot afford to fully fund but they can find billions to fund ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians. That is not okay & that is not in our public interest.
I urge everyone here to please keep contacting all of your local provincial & federal representatives in every way possible & ask them to please push Trudeau to call for both a permanent ceasefire & to initiate an arms embargo on Israel - NOW.
Please keep having the conversations with people you know & people you don't know about Palestine. The conversations are important. Please keep standing in solidarity with Gaza & all Palestinians.
The antidote to despair is action. This here is humanity in action & I thank all of you for showing your humanity & your ongoing support of Palestinians because remember, no democracy can exist without the freedom of citizens dissenting voices and I appreciate all of your voices dissenting, against our government who is still supporting genocide.
Free Palestine!

We're a family of #USInvasion on #Vietnam #WarSurvivors in #solidarity with #Palestinians & all #oppressed peoples of the world. We've suffered similar #WarCrimes & atrocities & ecocidal crimes by foreign oppressors. Decades later, we're still fighting for justice & reparations. USA needs to be put on trial for many #CrimesAgainstHumanity.
