The only functioning rare earth mine in the United States, it's called Mountain Pass, California.
MP Materials, yeah.
That offtake goes to China for processing.
Processing is dirty, not so environmentally friendly.
It's difficult.
And China has subsidized and built to dominance in that space.
That's something where the USG should.
They should take a section of Dugway Proving Ground in Utah, where they used to do chemical weapons testing.
Never going to build condos there.
let that be a free zone for processing rare earth elements where you can do the processing of dirty, environmentally unfriendly things, but let it be an America in a friendly place that we control.
That should be a,
I'm all in favor of the free market, but the free market only works if it's actually a free market.
And you have state-sponsored, controlled capitalism coming from China where they predatory land and they subsidize to the point of destroying Western competition.
There has to be some level of state-level pushback in the West to counter that.
They've been practicing, and you're talking about one brigade, now 42 brigades.
they have been practicing a quarantine first, so a surrounding of the island to make a resupply, naval visit, whatever, cutting off the energy and basically laying siege to it.
I can see them doing that to the point of forcing some kind of capitulation, or is there a way to break that siege
with naval vessels or with subsurface resupply, lots of creative ways, or I would argue that immediately there's a lot of other things that should happen to China's global supply chain, whether it's all the gas pipelines flowing in from Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Burma,
Eastern Mongolia or Eastern Russia, obviously a full-on blockade of the Straits of Malacca so that nothing goes in or out of China and dial up consequences for any of the Chinese assets anywhere in the world almost simultaneously.
That is not a normal conventional military response.
