Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)
Some very strange things are happening in China! They are becoming very hostile, and sending letters to Countries throughout the World, that they want to impose Export Controls on each and every element of production having to do with Rare Earths, and virt...
This is a sign of weakness and desperation.
I added this post before seeing this one and want to cross reference it for a Potential Q Angle.

POTUS Specifically Capitalizes Elements. Check out the Q Posts with Element in them. Dasting.
The Tariffs were threatening to collapse chinas economy. They rely on our consumer market
Yeah it was the early 90's when I was trying to market our new products to big name buyer after buyer until one of them told me: "Even at the same price we would rather buy from China"
early ‘90s, Senator Ernest Hollings of S. Carolina was one of the few to vocallly oppose the globalist giive-away of jobs
Trump puts 100% Tariffs on China
They're gonna starve. Lots of commie mouths to feed and word is they aren't buying our food.
good catch,lower- case “e” 1x and capital “E” 3x, multiple meanings, the Q search result— some peoplein government offices have allegiances agains America

Tungsten is a big one...there is a HUGE demand for tungsten for military, nuclear power, aerospace, manufacturing etc.
The USA hasn't had ANY operational tungsten mines since 2015.
There is currently one in Idaho they're thinking of bringing online...
EDIT: A few minutes about tungsten...

Maybe they can get the tungsten inside the gold plated tungsten bars in Fort Knox :)
American tungsten stock is up like 90% this week you may be onto something
Tungsten is also used as shotgun shell shot instead of lead..
Annnd...rods from God. Table of titans touched on this last night. China and exports... goes to I all computer chips too
Never deployed…it’s theoretical.
Tungsten is HUGE for welding
Their stranglehold on Rare Earths is one of the handful of definitive Aces in the Hole they can leverage in international trade and relations to get what they want. I would guess a list of trade concessions isn’t far in coming and they are counting on the necessity of electronics and batteries to the modern economy to force a resolution more heavily in their favor. And they are counting on it hurting everyone else worse than it hurts them.
That or they’ll finally make a move on Taiwan and are counting on the lack of materials to manufacture electronic components for equipment making Western Intervention unlikely.
The recent lithium oxide find in China could prop them up, but they gotta mine it. I think you're right.
Is it time?
"China is a sleeping giant. Let her sleep, for when she wakes she will move the world"
I get that people think China is dangerous, but she's a paper tiger. For instance: Her military wears helmets that explode if a soldier tries to defect at the command of an officer. Now, couple this with the fact that China is not well known for having robust "blue team" activities (it has focused on red team work for years), and radio based comms are notoriously easy to spoof signals for. Now imagine a high powered "helmet go boom" signal broadcast on the battlefield. Instant army wipe anyone?
I did not know about their helmets. Can they not take them off?
That would be in violation of the orders of the Chinese army
I agree with you.
My reference is related to the markets, GME and getting rid of the plague that is naked short selling. The quote is from here: https://x.com/ryancohen/status/1535936351237021697?lang=en
The Japanese chained the kamikaze pilots in…. However, I need to see their work regarding “exploding helmets”.
Not saying it isn't stupid. But if desertion is a serious issue for their army, I wouldn't put it past the ccp to do it. I read the article in the last trump administration.
"The Clone Wars"
My guess, China will roll back or stand down. Just my take. FAFO is imminent for this play if true.
Aaaaannnd just like that
American ownership and control of Greenland is necessary for national security
Hmm.. How many B2's do we have currently?
19 total.
21 built originally. 1 completely destroyed in a crash in 2008. A 2nd retired in 2022 after a crash. No word on whether it’s being converted into a museum plane or not. Its replacement the B-21 Raider is in active production and set to formally take over in 2032.
Meanwhile the B-52 will probably be doing hot laps at the B-2s retirement ceremony. I don’t think we’ve yet to develop an airframe with the B-52s longevity.
Is Slim Pickens still around?
We need him you know.
A-10?? If it wasn't for the low operational altitude and trees...😄
Lol. The A-10 is actually about 20 years younger than the B-52.
B-52s Maiden Flight was 1952. Entered service in 55. A-10s was 72 and entered service in 77.
It’s also projected to outlast its replacement and it’s replacement’s replacement. The retirement date with all the upgrades it’s had thus far is projected to stretch its service life into the 2050s at least. Making it a century at least. Some Airforce crews are flying on the same birds Great Grandpa flew over Hanoi in the 1960s and Grandpa flew over Kuwait in the 1990s and Dad flew over Iraq in the 2000s.
The B1-Lancer which was supposed to replace the B-52 is scheduled for retirement by the end of the decade. The B-2 which was supposed to replace the B-1 will follow projected for 2032. Replaced by the B-21.
It’s essentially the 1911 of Bombers.
It’s also been updated…
True. But the Airforce is looking to retire all it’s remaining functional airframes in 2026. Moving them to mothball.
Redirecting funding to the F-47 and B-21 projects
Here is the problem, we let China process much more REMs than US, so even though we have or can obtain the REMs they need to be processed. This a disadvantage to the US & other countries.
In 2024, China's domestic output of rare earths was 270,000 metric tons, up from 255,000 metric tons the previous year.
As mentioned, China has dominated rare earths production for quite some time. While China dominates global production of the vast majority of the 17 different rare earth elements, its output is heavily concentrated in light rare earths, specifically the magnet rare earths neodymium and praseodymium.
The largest rare earth mining company in the world is China Northern Rare Earth High-Tech (SHA:600111), which owns the prolific Bayan Obo rare earth mining complex in Inner Mongolia.
Chinese producers must adhere to a quota system for rare earths production. Interestingly, this system has led China to become the world’s top importer of rare earths since 2018.
The quota system is a response to China’s longstanding problems with illegal rare earths mining. For more than a decade, the country has taken steps to clean up its act, including shutting illegal or environmentally non-compliant rare earths mines, and limiting production and rare earths exports.
China’s rare earths industry is controlled by state-owned miners, in theory allowing China to keep a strong handle on production. However, illegal rare earths extraction remains a challenge, and the Chinese government continues to take steps to curb this activity.
The Chinese government is set to introduce even tougher regulations requiring companies involved in the mining, smelting and trading of rare earths to maintain detailed records of product flow and input this data into a traceability system. These new regulations took effect in October of 2024.
The US produced 45,000 metric tons of rare earths in 2024, up from 41,600 metric tons in the previous year.
Rare earths supply in the US currently comes only from the Mountain Pass mine in California, which is owned by MP Materials (NYSE:MP). Mountain Pass is producing high-purity neodymium and praseodymium (NdPr) oxide, a key material for high-strength neodymium iron boron (NdFeB) magnets.
The mine has had an interesting decade. Previously owned by Molycorp, the mine was put on care and maintenance in 2015 due to low rare earths prices and Molycorp filing for bankruptcy. Mountain Pass re-entered production in Q1 2018 under its new ownership.
The US is a major importer of rare earth materials. The USGS estimates the value of US rare earth imports for 2024 at US$170 million, down from US$186 million in 2023. The country has classified rare earths as critical minerals, a distinction that has come to the fore due to trade issues between the US and China.
Aiming to bolster its domestic supply, in May 2024, the US Biden administration announced a 25 percent tariff on rare earth magnet imports from China that would go into effect in 2026.
New US President Donald Trump is keen on securing the nation's critical minerals and rare earths supply chain, going so far as to threaten annexation of Greenland and Canada, both home to significant reserves of rare earths and other critical minerals. He also made access to rare earths a major sticking point in a defense deal with Ukraine.
3 B2s = no more hydroeletric power in China, which has a serious dependency on its dam networks for keeping the lights on, as 15-20% of the grid is hydro sourced. The bulk of the grid's power comes fron coal fired sources, and those too probably aren't tightly defended either.
That said, such an attack isn't necessary as the entire country can be destabilised via tarrifs rendering the economy into slag.
All is NOT well in the People’s Paradise…
China raises retirement age:
https://archive.is/P5sIe
From 110 to 120? :)
63 isn't bad compared to 67 in the US tho
Would wager that a 63 year old in China is a HARD 63 years old…still not 1st World…”emerging” the Wall Streets like to call ‘em…
The global power brokers set the markets up where China would get 98% of rare earth minerals/metals to help monopolize production and this is again reminding the globalists that we can rewrite contracts. "Hey Africa would you like to sell your rare earth materials to the US?". There is also the implicit threat that those countries can be forced.

Just read this and came to see if anyone else had seen it.
FAFO
china is asshoe but america bigga asshoe
Tariff all exports of China 50% and blockade them until they pay.

Now gold is at an astronomical $4K
STICKIE THIS: Gold is not native to Earth. Nor are all metals / minerals that are “precious” and expensive. “Rare earth”. So…anything focused on SPACE? 🤨
