Yes but most of you are still ignorant or in denial of the fact the wolf is your own financialisation and loss of productive competitiveness where China now makes most things more competitively.

There is no financial solution to such a challenge- it requires a different mindset to the neoliberal ideology that has clouded the wests economic thinking for decades and left it incapable of making things of any practical utility.

It requires massive long term state investment in strategic tech and infrastructure and while Trump is now doing this with AI and rare earths its probably too little too late.

It will be 10 years at least, (maybe never) before USA can again source its own refined rare earths and so be able to wage a major war without Chinas consent.

Your sense of entitlement and exceptional privilege blinded you. Anyone who tried to tell you, you dismissed as a CCP bot.
