Everyone is somehow missing China cutting off rare earth metals the US relies on for technology and defense
It wasn't just stopping exports to the US, they've stopped exporting rare earth elements worldwide starting yesterday. Plus, they are starting to unload billion of debt we owe them. It's almost as if Trump is intentionally trying to destroy our country in the morning, and then later in the day he wants to be the bully negotiator without understanding his precarious position.
You remember r/shitamericanssay? Last time he won, there were a lot of people talking about stuff Europe has but America doesn't, and, if you browse the posts there, a lot of Americans responding how Europe is backwards, in the stone age, and what they do have is paid for by America, out of benevolence.
Well, those folks are in charge now.
Our EU 'leaders' are US bootlickers.
They're a bit upset now that master is angry.
The master isn't angry, the master croaked, and his idiot son with anger issues is in charge now. The only question is if the EU will have the foresight to see the writing on the wall and bail before they're caught in the undertow.
Like I said, our EU leaders are puppets, they don't have our interests in mind.
They were perfectly fine with the slow death of seeing the economy and people suffer after the Nordstream US terrorist act.
Not a peep from them.
And even now they're doing exactly what Trump wanted, spending more on useless killing toys.
And it's a whole lot more.
Every country's going to spend billions of money they don't have and you know where they're going to get it from.
The already unhappy lowest layer of the population.
Probably the last drop to push the extreme right in power. We're almost in the 30's again.
"And even now they’re doing exactly what Trump wanted, spending more on useless killing toys."
Useless? Russia invaded Ukraine. Putin won't stop there.
To be honest, it doesn't look like that one's gonna be his decision to make.
That's the spirit, of to the eastern front!
If Putin invades, we will need to go to eastern front anyway, better go with killing toys than without them.
I think you have been listening to a lot of warmongering stories.
Even then we would lose hard.
This is not a situation to go in without knowing the facts.
Like "we are going to die" if we pursue this road.
By "warmongering stories" you mean "current events"? When Russia invades your country there's little decision making left to do.
Please do tell me when you exclusively spoke to Putin and told you this ridiculous plan that nobody else knows about?
We already had half a century of The RuSsiAns ArE ComInG!!!
Because Russia not saying (or denying) something means a lot: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/02/24/ukraine-russia-denials/
The US regime rag claiming Russia says something has as much value as what you said. None.
They give 1 source from november 2021. And even then no link to what Peskov actually said or under what circumstances. And conditions can change, especially since the Banderites dramatically escalated their attacks and ceasefire violations breaking the Minsk accords.
The US proxy did everything to provoke Russia.
Unlike your claims these are facts. Even the western biased OCSE had to confirm it.
I wonder why the Besos Post never shows them?
https://www.factcheck.org/2022/02/russian-rhetoric-ahead-of-attack-against-ukraine-deny-deflect-mislead/
Another biased US source sponsored by Meta and Google.
I bet you also believe all those 'independent' media outlets that somehow need to quit when the USAID regime money stops. As I said, facts as reported by the OCSE are all that matters.
You have nothing.
If you accept nothing, including peskov and putins words, then I have nothing... Very clever!
You refuse to acknowledge they are not Peskov's words but the regime press misinterpreting them.
And sure, keep your head in the sand on the OCSE reports and don't go into that.
Stick to your infantile memes.
You have indeed nothing.
Yes, the evil zapad misinterpreted /r/RussiaDenies.
You and your vile Russophobia indeed belong on Reddit.
And repeating that same meme?
Korsakov setting in or just your usual drunk?
Now go away.
Oh, I seem to have hit a vein?
You're the obsessed Russophobe Banderite.
As pathetic as they get
Yes, I definitely hit something... Relax, man! If you don't start defending putin again you'll be sent to the front... quick, tell me how he saved russia from NATO aggression!
LOL I'm Belgian.
And I'm certainly not going to be cannon fodder for nATO like you bootlickers.
And Russia saved itself, all those NATO countries couldn't defeat them.
Cry more loser
Da, you Belgian. Totally, wink wink. Don't you mean Swiss? I'm not sure about the education system in Russia, but Belgium is not neutral, it's actually where NATO headquarters are. I'd edit the comment before your boss sees it!
TF are you talking about?
Your propagandised mind is so molded you can't believe someone has to be Russian when they don't support the ukronazis? How sad.
IDC about our bootlicker government supporting them, they are not the people.
So you're probably one of those ukronazis right?
What country are you pretending to be from?
Oh, I'm not claiming anything, comrade.
Go not claim anything somewhere else
Nah, I'm good. Vodka?
I don't drink with nazis.
And you probably would only have garbage vodka anyway
I suppose you didn't believe in Putin invading Ukraine either, or is that a different case to Europe?
Maybe if those Banderites wouldn't have massively broken the Misk accords and bombing civilians they wouldn't have to.
Maybe read an OCSE report.
FAFO
At least they seem to be buying domestic this time around. I mean, I fully expect them to Hillary it, despite everything, but it's not impossible to pull out of the tailspin yet.
I LOLed at buying F-35's but produced in Italy.
There wouldn't be much point merely stopping export to the US because some other country could just on-sell to the US.
He really doesn't understand his precarious position and the harm he has done and is doing.
That's gonna tank the dollar hard
Yeah USD is down 3% for the week. 8 for the year
Sounds good to me
This is how the CoD storyline started.
I think the story here will go very differently now that the US army can't ensure it's exclusively pro-US.
I'm realizing the structure of our supply chains is not common knowledge at all. Basically everything has a part from China. That and plastic.
Canada didn't. It'd be a primary reason for the US to go stupid and try invading us, we're a much closer source of rare earths.
Australia is the only other major exporter, apart from China, at 15% of global supply. I have never heard of Canada producing significant quantites?
Lot of discovery going on but not a lot of production yet but is estimated to be done of the largest reserves globally. The fact the minerals are here gives these idiots one more reason tokeep pushing this 51st rhetoric.

Oooo that's good to know
