We depend on China for metals used in weaponry but China is cutting us off?

Walz was likely chosen by H because of his great love for China



People are just being stupid if they think Harris is going to morph into Trump Lite and stay that way for 4 years. They are being lied to and some of them likely know it or strongly suspect it.. but hey... Trump bad..

Nobody wants her to turn into Trump Lite.

Well, let's look at that.

We have an opioid epidemic!

Why?

Because for years, Big Pharma got people addicted by encouraging doctors to hand out opioids like Halloween candy.

Because when a drug rehabilitation company tried to set up a clinic in DuPage County, IL, the local townsfolk rose up with the torches and pitchforks.

Because the waiting time to get into a rehab program is months.

But let's blame China for our failures...

~~~~~~
Before the "Opioid Crisis", The polticians of America helped to sell our industrial manufacturing capacity.
You're deflecting the issue.
The issue at hand is that the U.S. doesn't have the capacity to manufacture weapons because they must buy steel from China.
Big Pharma is important issue to be discussed in an other posting on another day.

If you believe she would turn into a Trump lite, I've got some beach fromt propery in Arizona for sale at great prices....

Maybe we need to stop antagonizing China

Are we antagonizing China or is it China antagonizing the US?

The metal in question is Antimony, and China isn't the world's only source of it.

Then we need to start trading with others and let China wither on the vine in this context, yes?

Again, given the fact that we try to restrict metals as well, I don't think we have the high ground to complain.

Yeah... that's right... give The Adversary more ammunition... (sigh)...

Before the "Opioid Crisis", The polticians of America helped to sell our industrial manufacturing capacity.

And the business leaders, and the American consumer.

You're deflecting the issue.
The issue at hand is that the U.S. doesn't have the capacity to manufacture weapons because they must buy steel from China.

That would be meaningful if we were going to get into a long term war like WWII, but any great power war would be short and bankrupt all sides quickly.

War has kind of gone out of style.

Big Pharma is important issue to be discussed in an other posting on another day.

I don't disagree, but one our resident Sinophobes decided that he had to bring it up.

If you believe she would turn into a Trump lite, I've got some beach fromt propery in Arizona for sale at great prices....

No, I pointed out that I didn't think that, nor that she ever wanted to be.

She wants to be the Anti-Trump, because Trump is ******* rat poison to American Democracy.

China is 'quietly shutting down' material US needs to make weapons: Rob Spalding | Fox News Video

Fox News' Trey Yingst reports the latest on the escalation in the Middle East. Retired Brigadier Gen. Rob Spalding discusses his take on the conflict, how China is at play and the deadly Afghanistan withdrawal three years later.

This was a scary story. Apparently China is cutting the US off, not allowing us to get metals that only they seem to have.

I can't believe only China has those metals but this US General is saying something like that. So it looks like, according to him, we can't join in overseas wars anymore, to speak of..

Australia have got all the minerals the US will every need. They recently discovered the second largest Niobium deposit on the planet.

I've been saying this for some time now.
America is no longer an industrial manufacturing country.
Our Steel plants are closed, we don't smelt lead, we don't manufacture Copper and we sell our mineral rights to China.

The politicians sold us out to China to line their own pockets.

Again, talk to every fat-ass MAGAt who drives a Rascal Around Walmart looking for cheap goods, there's your real culprit.

Idiot, try to stay on topic. We are talking about the politicians wholesale sell out of American workers and industry to China.

Im going to get some chow mein with those cripy noodles for lunch.

 

[JoeB131]

Idiot, try to stay on topic. We are talking about the politicians wholesale sell out of American workers and industry to China.

Nope, that's the problem, not companies making good business decisions, but the American consumer deciding they'd RATHER buy cheap disposable stuff from China.

So waddle around Walmart and pick out your products...

That's one of the big reasons we have to start mining asteroids.

Or we can just stop antagonizing China unnecessarily over bullshit issues.
