This is what I'm worried about, the USA using violence to subjugate other countries in order to steal their resources.

WTF!! STEAL their resources? What in the hell are you talking about? We're hardly stealing if we're employing their population, paying royalties, and building the infrastructure.

Hell.. if you want to use that logic, we can accuse EVERY MINING AND OIL COMPANY of "stealing" from the American people... including the GOLD AND SILVER MINERS.

If it's ANYTHING, the only "stealing" is when those nations suddenly nationalize a US corporation that spends considerable capital in developing those resources...

And if it wasn't the US developing them, it would be the Chinese, or the Europeans, or the Japanese. Maybe even some Canadians.. Google how the Chinese are exploiting their indigenous workforce in Africa.

There are VERY few governments that would permit ANY multi-national company to just "steal" their country's resources.

More likely is that the government officials will steal it and squirrel the revenues away in the Caymans or a Swiss bank.
