The U.S. has fallen behind in the rare earth minerals race? Will our dependence on China soon lead us to war?
Just another important reality we are now facing as Americans which is illustrated below in some news articles…..Ask your average American citizen about this serious topic and you will most likely receive a blank stare.
China Is Choking Supply of Critical Minerals to Western Defense Companies
Beijing’s tightened controls are a sign of the leverage it has over the U.S. military supply chain

Rare earth minerals are key to so many vital products everyday Americans use and take for granted. They are the key components to our US military supply chain. Yet we have fallen behind in the production of such vital minerals, mainly due to environmental regulations and Uniparty corruption.
These stories below should awaken many Americans to the peril our country is in now due to becoming overwhelmingly dependent on China for these vital minerals.
This will not end well. Uniparty politicians have put America in a dangerous fetal position and we are currently almost completely dependent on China for so many vital goods.
Why did we let this happen? Why did we let the Left use the Climate Change Cult to prevent us from excavating these rare earth minerals in the US while also hampering and attempting to shut down our fossil fuel industry for so many years ? Now it’s catch-up time for the US in all key areas as China and Russia are now preparing for war.
Where is the coverage from the MSM, where is the authentic concern from the Uniparty politicians? Where is the outrage from American citizens?
Just another way Barack Obama and the climate cult made us less safe and secure? Prioritizing windmills, electric cars, solar panels and leftist fairytales have now come home to roost?
The globe is a powder keg and a very dangerous place right now. China can now hold us hostage regarding so many vital products we as a nation need to survive and thrive. Why didn’t people realize this day of grim reality would inevitably arrive? War looms and we are not prepared?

Excerpt below from full article above.
[Highlights
* The U.S. went from being the world’s leading rare earth producer to almost total dependence on China due to corporate short-termism and environmental regulations.
* China strategically developed a vertically integrated rare earth supply chain, controlling 90% of global rare earth processing through long-term industrial policy.
* Rebuilding U.S. rare earth independence requires billions in investment, new infrastructure, and potentially strategic collaboration with China despite geopolitical tensions.]
