There’s closed mines all over the NC mountains. Let’s get ‘em cranked up again.

Peru farmed out the exploration and development of their lithium deposits to China. It has gone on all over the world.
They worked hard to corner the market on rare earth deposits and now we know why. Always has been about manipulating the US in case we got uppity.

Nah, just throw in the towel and let China do all of our manufacturing for us. I bet we could get a great deal on aircraft carriers and fighter planes. Maybe even nuclear weapons. Save a lot of tax dollars. Combat boots, too. And all the tilapia we can eat. Oops, nevermind.

Not sure about Alaska. There is an old mine in California and, I thought, a new site in Australia.

The Mountain Pass Rare Earth Mine is an open-pit mine of rare-earth elements on the south flank of the Clark Mountain Range, just north of the unincorporated community of Mountain Pass, California, United States.
The mine once supplied most of the world's rare-earth elements.
Today, it is owned by MP Materials, and is the country's only rare earth mining and processing facility.
.
Affiliates of two U.S. investment fund advisors, JHL Capital Group LLC and QVT Financial LP and Shenghe Resources Holding Co., a Chinese minority shareholder, acquired Mountain Pass in July 2017 with the goal of reviving Americas rare earth industry.
The venture does business under the name MP Materials (www.mpmaterials.com).
MP Materials resumed mining and refining operations in January 2018.[

China is playing a long term game to undermine the US and the west. They are planning out decades, or a hundred years from now to be the dominant power in the world (not necessarily expansionary, but in control). They are still bitter about the opium wars, so no surprise they a happy to ship fentanyl by the ton to the US. We win this trade war now or end up dependent on China in the future. China doesn’t even have that strong a position, but have been quietly capitalizing on the weakness and self loathing of the west.

This sounds like we used to have a rare-earth industry. Is this another stupid decision on our part?

The threat should be no surprise at all....they have been holding ‘that card’ over us for a long time... whenever they’re getting backed into a corner.
They’re asian and that’s how they play....think N.Korea.
