@lain @Moon @condret Yeah, I didn't mean to imply that I think they want to keep resources cheap. But rather, it's more likely that they want to have a monopoly on them, they want control over it and to make the profits themselves. Basically a power increase. That or they don't want other people to have that power increase as it would be a threat to their own power. Because why does Biden's son care about the resources in Ukraine? What is the motive there when there are resources still in the US?
