This bill isn’t just about minerals—it's about ending child labor and war crimes, no compromises on human rights. America should lead, not exploit.

Leaving diplomacy to African neighbors sounds better—let them clean their mess while we focus on security and jobs here at home.

Sanctions and talk are just empty gestures if we don’t guard U.S. interests—end of story. Minerals or no minerals, tough love wins.

Calling for dialogue and sanctions is fine, but let’s not pretend Congress can magic away decades of complex conflict overnight.

Peace in the Congo means less blood on our tech gadgets. Let’s stop feeding conflict with dirty supply chains and start fueling justice.

If we don’t back peace in the DRC, we’re just endorsing profiteers of misery. Diplomacy isn’t charity; it’s humanity with a backbone.

Supporting peace abroad is smart policy; chaos anywhere shakes markets everywhere. Let’s stabilize the DRC without overpromising U.S. babysitting.

Why play global policeman in the Congo when we can't fix our own backyard? Peace is nice, but America first means managing priorities.

moderate 06/27/2025

We owe the DRC more than lip service, but less than nation-building obsession. This resolution strikes a pragmatic balance—cautiously hopeful.
