CHINA JUST CUT OFF RARE EARTH MAGNETS

China just stopped sending rare earth magnets to the US; those tiny but mighty metal pieces that power literally everything: electric cars, fighter jets, drones, missiles… even your car’s steering. Why? Trump dropped new tariffs. China didn’t like that.

So now they’re like, “Cool story, enjoy building stuff without our magnets.”

The metals and the special magnets made with them can now be shipped out of China only with special export licenses. But Beijing has barely started setting up a system for issuing the licenses. Industry executives said that supplies of minerals and products outside the country could run low.

Trump’s rapidly escalating trade war with China has scrambled prospects for many global businesses. And there is no end in sight.

The U.S. administration has been waiting for the Chinese leader, Xi Jinping, to call Trump, but Beijing appears wary of putting Xi in an unpredictable situation with the U.S. president.

Here’s the wild part: China makes 90% of the world’s rare earth magnets and refines 100% of the heavy-duty ones. Basically, they’ve got the world’s supply on lock—and they just slammed the door.

Detroit? Panicking. Defense contractors? Sweating.

It's like cutting off Wi-Fi during final-exam week in colleges.

Trump took the first swing. China swung back. Now it’s a high-stakes staring contest — and nobody wants to blink.

Apparently not very hard to do. Neo-cons winning. America losing.

I hope the US can make industrial magnets soon.

NATO forces are dying in Ukraine.

Since ejecting foreign troops from Kursk, Russia, authorities have been performing identification of the dead bodies. Positive ID shows NATO country forces ARE in active combat against Russia.

According to the Russia Ministry of Defense, the totals below show the dead (. . .ahem . . .) "mercenaries" from each country who were killed fighting against Russia inside the Russian Oblast (state) of Kursk.

Identities and nationalities were determined from ID documents found on each dead body. Countries in BOLD typeface are NATO countries:

Poland: 1953

Georgia (Caucuses Mountains) 1230

Colombia (South America) 917

France 208

Germany 197

Great Britain (UK) 156

United States 89

Australia 17

Japan 4

For the entirety of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the US, UK, France, Germany, and other NATO countries have explicitly said they "are NOT participants in the conflict." Yet they have not only sent arms, ammunition, rockets, missiles, tanks, planes, armored personnel carriers, artillery guns and shells, they still actively provide intelligence and surveillance, their actual citizens are begin found dead, in large numbers, inside the conflict zone!

NATO countries saying they "are not participants in the conflict" is now and has been a deliberate lie.

The idea that these are all "mercenaries" is so blatantly false it would be laughable if it wasn't so pathetic.

Here in my country, the United States, I know that Congress has not declared war upon Russia. So why are there dead Americans in Kursk?

Mercenaries, you say? As far as I know, it is UNLAWFUL for any American citizen to engage in war against another country.

Who granted permission for American "mercenaries" to enter that conflict and fight?

OK, OK, I'll stop being naive. We all know that a large portion of these dead Americans were former US Military guys who got promised big cash money if they "retired" from their US Service and agreed to become "employed" in Ukraine.

We all know those offers of big-bucks-employment are coming to active duty troops, inside the armed forces, and those offers are likely being conveyed by active duty officers.

This is someone running an actual war while trying to claim we're not.

I'm tired of this charade.

I want my country out of all involvement with Ukraine.

This was a stupid action, concocted by stupid people in the Pentagon / DoD. Stupid. Really stupid people.

Anyone who fights these endless wars for corrupt governments anymore are the definition of stupid.
