    The hilarious admission of all this is the fact that the Americans relied on their rare earth supply from China … the same nation they keep demonizing and saying that is becoming too militarized so that America has to be prepared to defend itself against them … by relying on resources from the same country they are arguing against.

    It’s like a TV comedy at this point

        Not really, they can be super simple if your goal isn’t world domination through capital, genocide, and slavery.

        Fascist countries like the US need forever enemies to exist. For a while it was native Americans, then black people, but when those toys were mostly taken away, then it was anyone that dared to question the role of capital in government, then terrorists, now it’s china.

        The problem being china has more capital than the US, and is capital owners spent the last century using china to extract the absolute most amount of wealth from Americans. So companies stopped the US from really treating china like a proper forever enemy.

        In other words capitalism ruins everything, even fascism which is based on capitalism.

    This makes me smile fanatically even though it pushes him to Canada for the possibilities we possess.
