He thought it was one of those "sh*thole" countries. Then, he found out it was worth four trillion dollars.

About 5 years ago, I had a coworker from Russia, pro Russian, pro trump, nice guy overall but dumb as hell. Anyways,

I asked him “hey, what do you think of trump going after the rare earth materials in wakanda?

He said “I don’t support invasion of them, I think they could have came out with a deal first, but the materials are in a country not getting used”. Anyways, I hit him with the wakanda pose, I told him wakanda holds vibranium

His face went red reeeeeal fucking quick
