There is an article over on zero hedge about Japanese orders for military equipment that are hugely overdue in delivery. The US has weapons in inventory, and if they are used they must be replaced.
In October, in Korea, the trade talks with China took place with the number one absolute top priority the issue of Rare Earth’s, and the most significant subset of those, neodymium magnets. Without those society largely cannot function nowadays and are sophisticated weaponry cannot be built.
