China halts export of rare earthes

[CowboyTed]

The way the Far Left is rooting for Red China in this dispute has really exposed them.

Good luck for libs in future elections.

It is not rooting... Just basic common sense...

Trump and Co have shown us they don't understand the word consequences..

They are idiots in a game of delicate balance...

Previous administtrations have spent decades of leveraging soft power to get access to any material in the world at the qualities they need...

Trump Admin has went screw them and has said US needs to go it alone... This is going it alone... China stepped in areas like Africa and secured access to these resources and became a middle man for US...

What we are see ing is the Trump admin short sightedness both in it's 1st term and now in its second... Biden couldn't assure any government of US commitment because everyone knew that MAGA was someday going to get back in charge and leave them to the wolves. China knows how to play the game of soft power too and were happy to see US leave them the vacuum...

This is why adults need to be in charge.

Its far worse. Power doesn't cease to exist because the US abdicates its influence with unforced errors, self inflicted damage to its own economy and waning influence.

When we retreat and cede influence to other countries, they TAKE the place we used to hold. As we pull back, put up trade barriers with friend and ally alike, demonstrate we are unreliable partners, flagrantly flaunt lawlessness, and bizarrely ape Russian propaganda.....our adversaries fill the gap.

China is making the kind of trade deals with its neighbors and countries around the world that the US used to make. From its partnerships with Vietnam, to the TPP, to its road and belt initiatives, they are gaining influence as we give it up.

America in contrast created a north American free trade agreement.....then wiped its ass with it for no good reason.

That is not really of any concern to the administration because they are isolationists. They have no interest in foreign trade nor immigration, nor any international deals, treaties, or international organizations. They believe in American Exceptionalism, America for Americans, American First, Making America Great Again. They reject all other cultures and languages.

Yay for China
We have plenty here I wonder what happened

Historical Context of Dependency​

In the 1990s and early 2000s, U.S. rare earth mining essentially collapsed as Chinese producers undercut global prices. Complicated refining processes and expensive environmental compliance made domestic production economically unviable. Trade policies and export restrictions further cemented China’s market control.

Let me try to make this as simple as I can.

I agree with him on several general issues.

I disagree with him strongly on the way he deals with them.

I know I just wasted my time typing these sentences. Think what you will.

Now that's just commie logic. Real patriots ™ will deflect it like water off a duck's back.

It's so weird. No matter how many times I say it, no matter how I say it, I can't get it to sink into their skulls.

For them, the WAY he does EVERYTHING, no matter how childish or manic or authoritarian or ignorant or counter-productive or destructive, is THE ONLY way it can POSSIBLY be done.

To hell with it. It's a fuckin' zombie movie.

I get it. It's because the WAY is repulsive, incompetent and shady. Oh, and loyalty or else. This old orange bag 'O shit is such a weak clown, he can't even seem to get authoritarianism right.

It's more like the world's worst reality show, but across all forms of media. The fans are worse.

Shut your sanctimonious shitheaded asses up and deal the fuck with it, you pompous pussies! You bitches ain't fit to judge a damn frog show. Pipe the fuck down and shut your taking on airs above your stations asses up, bitches!

I post my specific plans for pretty much everything I discuss.

If they went so far over your head that you didn't even REALIZE they were plans, tough shit.

You're just a Trumpster. You bore me.

And you're just an irrelevant crybaby. Every day. Fuck off.
Where's one of these plans? Link?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Trump signed the withdrawal deal....

Trump wanted isolationism, well this is what it looks like....

“Biden” actually whoever handled the signature pen that day, made it an Unconditional Surrender of Afghanistan, not at all what Trump negotiated

All you post is anti-Trump platitudes and support for the ILLEGAL LAWFARE used against him and the RIGHTS of the American People to REELECT him.
You are a pompous contrarian ASSHOLE, and you offer nothing but GASLIGHT THEATRE BULLSHIT and PROJECTION.
GFY

They will not, but China will cave, and here's the thing: Americans need to show some grace about that and not be crowing about it and stuff. This is a time for grace and respect for the Chinese people. I bet they will have to cave and the US needs to be big about it and not petty.

They get around that..some. Something to keep in mind is that China already murdered
millions that would rebel decades ago and most that would flee or fight are gone and what's
left is docile people propagating.

Hong Kong and Taiwan are different.
It was a Hong Kong guy I got all the Hunter laptop stuff from.
