We have aplenty, it’s just that all the environmental regulations make it damn near impossible to get at.
However, if a POTUS declares a national Security emergency, all those regulations are off the table for the duration............
Just like people will work damn near any job if they can’t get any food, when we are getting our ass kicked in combat because we can’t produce the equipment necessary to wage war and our commerce gets choked off resulting in people losing their jobs and not being able to eat, those environmental restrictions will evaporate.
It’s crazy. The Communist Chinese are the greatest threat in the world today, and gaslighting us as Biden did by saying they are not our enemy is exactly what the Communists want.
Only an absolute idiot would minimize how they have hollowed out our industrial base, methodically, patiently, and reaping great profits as they do so, would think that they wouldn’t cut off the supply of materials like antimony.
Of course they would, just as we would if we had the switch in our hand for some of the things they do and are going to do.
I would like to believe our reasons would be different, and we might have a higher moral plane to act from, but honestly, with this administration, it would be naive to take that stance. I don’t see this current administration as being all that different from the Communists.
Yep. This what not supplying our own rare earth minerals gets us.
Trump can and will do this. And he’ll make China pay for it
