The US-supported right-wing coup in a certain South American nation on November 10th, 2019, was a serious strike against that nation’s autonomy and its people (especially its indigenous, of whom the president was one). Such meddling has defined US foreign policy in Latin America for nearly two centuries, since the Monroe Doctrine of 1823.

“Same song, different verse,” one could say, and that’s true, but each verse has different lyrics and this one features a new element (no pun intended): Lithium.

While Lithium is used as an ingredient in a wide variety of products such as pharmaceuticals, industrial lubricants, desiccants, lenses and even rocket propellants, the fastest growing application is for batteries for electric cars. According to Bloomberg, demand for lithium could “double by 2025.”

This South American nation's lithium reserves are believed to be the largest in the world.
