China Just Turned Off U.S. Supplies Of Minerals Critical For Defense & Cleantech
In response to new Trump tariffs, China cut dysprosium, terbium, and tungsten exports—hitting U.S. EVs, wind, and military systems hard.
Six months ago staunch allies like Canada and Australia would have loved to help, although they couldn’t replace China overnight. But the same tariffs that led to China’s new licenses for critical minerals are hitting the former allies Trump is treating like enemies.

Can't wait for my in-laws to go on about how we NEED to invade them "for national security"
Encourage them to volunteer
Every time. They're well aware of my stance on war.
To go to war, every adult must vote yes or no. The yes vote is immediately signed up for military service, no exceptions given outside of life-threatening conditions. Everyone can do something even if it's just logistics.
No votes go about their business as usual.
And of course, there will be people who for one reason or another, legitimate or not, can't leave the general areas they live in. They can be national guard and show up to work the fields every day, ensuring wartime food supplies.
It may sound harsh, but unless you're willing to get down in the shit yourself, you have no business demanding someone else do it for you.
Make all the politicians in favor actually fight in the war, I'd like to see that.
Ooh, yeah this is also a good one.
Any politician that speaks in favor of going to war is given front-line duty regardless of how they vote.
Again, if you're going to demand it, you're going to DO it. That means people who use their influence to sway others are also going to do it, even if they're cowards behind a voting booth.
Real Japan in 1941 vibes.
