I Was Wrong About the Critical Minerals in the Golis Mountains

Transcript:

I was wrong. AFRICOM has been carrying out operations in the Golis Mountains, striking terrorists there. I’m doing research on all this. Now, where the critical minerals would be is in the Golis Mountains—the western portion, which is supposedly in Somaliland. That's a lithium-rich area, and it leads down to the port of Berbera. The strikes have been going on in the eastern portion in Puntland and Federal Somalia. That's where ISIS–Somalia and al-Shabaab are.

Now, why I'm looking into this is because Israel recognized Somaliland not too long ago, and it's part of Project 2025, which is Trump's project. Well, behind… whatever… Heritage Foundation has over 70% of their people associated with them in Trump's cabinet, and Project 2025 is linked to them. And Heritage Foundation, remember, it's a CIA cutout—and the American Enterprise Institute, another CIA cutout from the Reagan era. Remember the Reagan doctrine? Well, they're advocating for Somaliland recognition by Trump, and the president [of Somaliland] met with them… at least with the Heritage Foundation. I have to listen to an interview from the Hudson Institute, but I've been reading it all over that we should recognize it. No, it'll increase the violence there.

Anyway… I'm just interested in what role it would play in the war on Iran and Yemen, because the port of Berbera and Gulf of Aden would be where they would operate out of. Yemen… supposedly Ansar Allah captured Bab-el-Mandeb—I don't know how to pronounce it, but there's a strait there, a choke point. This is a war on multipolarism, on China and Iran, because they want to keep China out of the area. Somaliland recognized Taiwan, and there's a 'One Somalia'—it's just like China and Taiwan with the One China principle. So anyway, yeah, I'm looking into that. Seeing how that will affect the war.

During World War II, the Pacific Islands involved in major battles included Guam, Wake Island, the Philippines, the Solomon Islands (particularly Guadalcanal), the Marshall Islands (like Kwajalein and Eniwetok), the Mariana Islands (Saipan and Tinian), Iwo Jima, and Okinawa; these were key locations where the Allied forces, primarily the United States, fought against the Japanese military through an "island hopping" strategy to gradually push closer to Japan itself. - Google

Sea Lanes (Google):

Seychelles has several maritime boundaries and zones, including: [1]

• Exclusive economic zone: The exclusive economic zone extends 200 nautical miles from the baselines. [1]
• Territorial sea: The territorial sea extends 12 nautical miles from the baselines. [1, 2]
• Maritime boundary with France: Established in 2001, this boundary separates the continental shelves and EEZs of Seychelles and France. [3]
• Maritime boundary with Tanzania: Established in 2002, this boundary separates the continental shelves and EEZs of Seychelles and Tanzania. [3]
• Maritime boundary with Mauritius: Established in 2008, this boundary extends 504 nautical miles through the Indian Ocean. [4]

Seychelles is located in the Western Indian Ocean, which is a vital route for global trade. The country's strategic location has attracted interest from major players in the region. Seychelles can play a role in shaping the maritime security architecture of the region by working with these major players. [5]

The Indian Ocean is highly important to the United States due to its critical role in global trade, particularly for oil shipments, as a significant portion of the world's maritime oil traffic passes through its waters, making the stability of the region vital for the US economy and energy security; this is further amplified by increasing competition with China in the Indo-Pacific region, making the Indian Ocean a key strategic area for the US to maintain influence in. 

Key points about the Indian Ocean's importance to the US:

• Trade routes:
  The Indian Ocean carries a large portion of the world's bulk cargo and container shipping, including over 80% of global maritime oil shipments. 
• Strategic location:
  The Indian Ocean sits between critical regions like the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, making it a key geopolitical area. 
• Competition with China:
  As China expands its influence in the region, the US is increasingly focused on maintaining stability and access to the Indian Ocean [more like destabilizing the Indian Ocean]. 
• Military presence:
  The US maintains a military presence in the Indian Ocean, including the Diego Garcia base, to support “security operations.”
