The problem with this...it's not just minerals. If it was simply about rare earth minerals we could get them from Africa, Ukraine, internal (US) deposits, etc. They have to be refined, and the refineries are in China lol.

The way to combat this would have been maintaining trade relationships across the globe with allies. Instead he blew all that up months ago lol. So now it's every man for himself.

Maybe China retreats but they had to know what was coming (tariff increase). Any type of thought game on this would have to result in Trump hitting 100% tariffs again. So surely they have a plan. We'll see. End of the day we're in no position to play these games and congress has failed. They could have nixed Trump's tariff power months ago.

The futures are up this morning after a very suspicious post by Trump on his goofy platform. China ain't biting though.

China cornering that market and announcing they would do it in 1992 is kinda proof that a planned economy
actually isn't total bullshyt.
Yeah and it lays bare the problem with unchecked capitalism. Because corporations and the government over here were not forward thinking. They were trying to squeeze ever bit of profit out of the current systems in place. Now the chickens have come home to roost and we're caught flat footed and a$$ naked out here. We're dependent on those natural resources for all of these technological advances and China knows this. What's worse is Biden tried to take steps to rectify it and Trump scaled back a lot of it on some petty spite lol

up 5% haven't even been 15 mins yet. up 21% on usar :russ:

these "crashes" are just openings

They are faking people out with the stock market.
Gold/silver are still going up. It shows you the dollar is losing value.
Is the little bit you make in the stock market making up for that?

NO

The stock market is manipulated by hedge funds and the banks.

It's a well organized scam they are pulling on the general population.
