The Rising Influence of Rising Affluence

Is this your prediction or is there some evidence that this is their intention?

Just a prediction. They'll probably shut down rare earths to the US and the rest of the world too. They put an embargo on rare earths to Japan in 2020, why wouldn't they do it to us? What would we do if they did? Just like foundries, starting up rare earth mines takes lots of time to develop before they produce anything. Japan attacked Pearl Harbor within months of a U.S. oil embargo. I'm predicting war soon. Let's just hope that sleepy joe is not taking a nap when it happens. How can we profit from this when it does?
