Let's hope the chinks won't extend their hands on this as well...

It belongs to the Afghan people.

We should obviously take it

Fuck, you know our shitty government will fuck this up and end up giving it all to the sandkips or chinks.

finders keepers

>>1329872
Fuck them. We found it and we're bigger.

Great. So they go ahead and publicly announce the find. They should have taken over the land and waited a couple of decades before they "discovered" it. Now anyone can have it.

>>1329889

We could at least fucking split it.

>>1329890

It's like the government decided to not be corrupt or something.

>>1329889

>stealing from world's second worst nation behind Niger

Sure is colonialism in here.

oh great, more precious resources bestowed upon the goat fuckers in the Mideast. we should just take it. any money going to muslims will only result in our further decline

>>1329904
at the worst possible time!

why couldn't they just keep doing what they've been doing?

Interesting, and perhaps one of the better things that could have happened to Afghanistan. Hopefully this brings them some foreign investment and stability.

The funny thing is opium is still probably worth more.

>>1329893
We will need locals to work there. So we find the minerals, bring over the equipment, give all those guys jobs that pay better than opium farming or whatever the fuck. They suddenly have a lot less free time to be terrorists and a new found love for Americans. Suddenly, Afghanistan is a stable and prosperous country and everyone benefits. Capitalism in action.

Gee, who would have thought a mountainous region would have a ton of mineral wealth.

>>1330013
Afghanistan was stable before we Russia came in and then we fucked it up more. /awesomeface.jpg

>Implying our jew overlords won't take it.

>>1330047
It was a stable shithole. Now it can be a stable nicehole.

>implying they won't have to buy our expertise to remove it.

Sounds like we're about to get a 51st state. Cheers!

Bush planned this

>>1330070
>implying they have a choice anymore

>>1330082
Bush confirmed for secret genius

Finders keepers
losers weepers

>>1330047
I thought they were already fighting and the USSR came in at the request of one of the commie sides in the conflict? Maybe I'm wrong though, I don't know much about it other than John Rambo's participation.

Oh praise Allah the merciful

I'm a goat herder in the Pashtun region

I'm rich bishes

Now guys we can't let those minerals get into the hands of terrorists now can we? We'll hold onto them.

>>1330225

This is amazing news. If done properly this could help alter the entire face of the war for the better.

I guess invading Afghanistan was worth it after all.

Just as long as the fucking Chinese don't get their hands on any of it. After all the work we've put into stabilizing Afghanistan we need at least a sizable cut.

We have known about this for some time. One of the reasons we are over there - to keep China's grubby paws away.

>>1330598
Bullshit

If this was under bush you'd all be going insane.

As if the US didn't knew what was underneath Afganistan's surface back in 2001

Queue up the hordes of liberal pussies who are going to cry about exploiting a poor country's resources. College kids are so predictable.

>>1330640

I was implying they new about it already and was one of the reasons they invaded Afghan.

yeah, they 'just' found it my black ass

>>1330666
>> exploiting a nation
>> only bad thing he can think of is how much people are ganna whine
wow.jpg

>>1330079
I lol'd hard.

This explains why American invaded

>>1330666
Those pussy hippies need to learn that evil>good because good is dumb.

>>1330679
>implying the afghan campaign wasn't about hunting down Islamic terrorists

>>1329862

inb4 China takes it over

>>1330723
>Implying hunting down terrorists does anything after the terorists succeeded in their plans.

We need to invest in this and hopefully the US will demand special treatment to extract these materials. I see a bright future

>>1330723
>Implying that the US govt. spent trillions of dollars on a fucked up country just to give afghan women the right to use mini-skirts

Who ever is really running America is a genius. I wish I had control of millions of retards.

>>1330760
LOL.

Expect the mines to get blown up on a daily basis.

Great, so now our government isn't going to be just in the pockets of the oil companies. They'll be the pockets of Rio Tinto and the other mining corporations also.

>>1330739
>>1330760
Maybe you were too young to remember, but after 9/11 Bush had to invade Afghanistan or it would have been a massive shitfest by the public. It wasn't Iraq-style "hurrr we have to free them durrr... oh sweet oil", it was more like "who's ass do I have to kick?"

>>1330824

This is true. If Bush hadn't gone to war in Afghanistan, his head would've ended up on a pike eventually. People were that pissed off.

Oh Christ.

My anti-imperialist sentiments are warring with my patriotism. I want AMERICA STRONG, but I know exploiting another country's resources is wrong...

Oh, fuck it. Imperialism all the way.

>>1330869
>Maybe you were too young to remember but in 2001 people knew how to troll better.

CHINA HAS THE RIGHTS TO THOSE MINERALS U FAGS

>>1330969
OUR TROOPS

OUR WAR MACHINE

OUR MINERALS

FINDERS KEEPERS MOTHERFUCKER

>>1330973

Their financing

<-this except with AK's and opium

nothing is going to come of it, bunch of dunecoons digging in the sand before, bunch of dunecoons digging in the sand for years to come

>>1330992
If they want Afghanistan they're welcome to take it from us if they can!

>>1330973
WHICH MEANS EXACTLY SHIT

>>1331012
THEIR MINING IT ALREADY AND SHIPPING THE MINERALS TO CHINA. YOU FUCKING MORON.

Best case: We install a puppet and get free rein over the resources until they pull an Iran-1979 on us.

Worst case: They turn into another Saudi Arabia only even less civilized. More billions of dollars ends up getting channeled to Islamist parties and terrorists.
