The United States ruling class’s calculated and unempathetic stance on almost every policy is going to eventually be its downfall. The rulers are now demanding access to Africa’s critical minerals in exchange for medical care. The U.S. has already negotiated 28 international health agreements, most of them with African countries. Washington is refusing to disclose their full terms, triggering a widespread backlash, the Washington Post reported on Monday, according to a report by RT.
