Lol, we've already seized like 97.5% of land from tribes and left them with very little. This was an agreement made already specifically for our benefit and to give Indians the bare minimum in return.

The audacity to then renege on our deal if they don't opt to use the land as we just decided is economically necessary is absurd.

If this deposit was in another country, do you think we have the right to force them to mine and sell that resource.

Fuck that, we don't get to be the world's governance.
