    You know what sad? Before all of this we were working with our allies, Canada and Australia to ramp up REE mining and researching advanced processing, know-how we didn’t not currently have btw, to reduce the reliance on China.

    And then Trump went and fucked all of that up and were up s shit creek without a paddle and shot America’s foot and went through the inflatable raft.

    Oh well, I’m sure Trump can just annex China along with Greenland and Canada. Don’t sweat it folks. Right after grocery prices come down, I’m sure.
