I love how you just drop silence like that does something. The Department of War is already receiving US mined and manufactured from Mountain Pass. I have no idea the exact percentage but I do know that the DOW has already been stock piling these minerals for a while now so.....
Look at the comment above you.... its another check against what you are saying. Unless you are talking 2030 then sure all give you that but again the US has stockpiled these minerals and we could if we had none right now repurpose minerals from our enormous bone yards.
For defense purposes its already using US produced and as it all scales up it will continue to increase until not just military but National Security areas only use US or 5 Eye minerals.
It would be different if the US did not have anything either built or being built but we already have and have spent years doing so.
What percentage of the US military and its suppliers needs can be provided by non Chinese refined rare earths (or equivalents) suppliers now and into the future?
1%?
3%?
5%?
Be specific.
S I L E N C E.
The US military industrial combine is crippled for at least a decade - beholden to Chinas refined rare earths supply chain dominance.
Time for the obese US imperialist hegemony to eat the bitter fruits of its decades of extraordinary entitlement, arrogance and negligence...
