We won’t be starting this one.

China is in a world of hurt going forward. It is predicted
that by 2050 their population will be about 600,000.

Of those 600,000, many will be old.

They are going to have to misdirect their populace to look
at other things than their internal failures.

China wants to be the world’s hegemon. They aren’t
kidding about replacing the United States as the global
driver.

I’m trying to not die laughing at your “unstable countries” comment with the countries you listed as stable :)

Why isn’t that all happening if it’s so apparent?

I thought China had us against the wall because of all the minerals we get from it.

Making deals with the only country with as many nukes as us is a good idea.

I didn’t say bow to them. Not even close.

If what you say is true about fracking, did alunimum production BOOM under Trump the first term?

Relax, Trump’s not stupid

Well maybe he’d like to save a few bucks before his country falls into financial ruin.

If he isn’t interested in attacking countries, then his nukes will do his talking.

Only Europe is thinking along the lines of a conventional war...as if they want one.

Only they want it with the US.

I’m tired of kneejerk hating Russia...my knee is worn down after 50 years of it :)

Don’t trust them, but deal with them.

Will this lower the cost of relining of my “tinfoil” (aluminum) lined hats?

You sound closed minded. I will not even try to refute your weak viewpoint. Hard to debate with someone like you.

Says who?

Foreign partners welcome—including in new regions

Can't wait to see the offer for aluminum supply from RUSAL, which has none other than Marc Rich's Glencore as a foreign partner.

As for the "new regions", anyone mining there might end up owing us mineral royalties.

2 million tons of aluminum to US market would be very good for the economy...everything is made of aluminum pretty much.

Wrong. 2 million tons produced by the Century Aluminum smelters in Kentucky would be very good for the economy.

Not at all. Americans about to be VERY popular in Russia. Maybe I’ll book another trip. Russian women are hilariously forward. Seeing them prostrate at my feet again and fighting for my attention will be gut bustingly funny. PS. Their favorite foreigner pick up line is “will you buy me an iphone”. “LOL!”.

You want more modernized nukes pointed at us? The best way ensure that is give Russia more money to build new ones. Giving our money to Chinese Communist Party has worked out so well....

There’s a good chance Fidel’s bastard son could be ticking Trump off. Besides, getting aluminum from Russia would be good business, as a glut in the metal would lower prices. And Russian goods would be tariff free.

China needs land and natural resources.

Russia has land and natural resources.

Why would we source a key defense material from an avowed adversary? We may need to deal with him, but this is as dumb as relying on Chinese steel.

The U.N. says the Chinese population will be 1.3B by 20250.

>>> I’m tired of kneejerk hating Russia...my knee is worn down after 50 years of it :)

Comes from the globalists (democrats).

They been poking at the bear a long time.

Both Trump and Putin are the last of the anti-globalist leaders left.

I remember Putin himself saying early on in the Ukraine war that he was fighting the armies of the antichrist.

I saw some very possible truth in that.

So now it’s MAGA and Kremlin against the globalists (antichrist).

guess who gonna win at some point.
