Rare Earth Elements. The whole fucking world runs on this shit. And who controls all of it? China. Really guys? You're gonna build an entire military based on a mineral element that is wholly controlled by China?
rare earth elements aren't even rare.
>>729641171China doesn't "control it" they control the processing because of how shit it is for the environment. No one else wants to do that. If we wanted to we could but we would have to sacrifice like North Dakota or some other shitty state
>>729641171>and who controls all of it? ChinaWrong. They are just the ones who have zero care or trouble if digging it out or refining it costs lives or leaves some acid-filled moon craters
>>729641171I trust China over the united states of muttmerica
>>729641410>trusting anyoneYou'll learn in time
>>729641410>I trust China overhow can people still be this dumb thinking there are lesser of two evils? What's it going to take?
>>729641531The entire US getting carpet-bombed with nukes
>>729641234Good news, you can sacrifice Australia instead
>>729641531China isn't ruled by a retarded senile cheeto
>>729641589and then china will over run your shitty Euro country killing you and forcing your woman into slavery and your last words before they execute you will be "heh at least America got nuked">>729641635No China is run by a dictator who will collapse the country the moment he dies with all the power he has consolidated but by all means retard pretend that is the same or better in any way
>>729641635Aside from the color being more natural on their fool, same deal
Capital has no nationality.
>>729641171MANENDEZ!Only CoD game I ever bothered playing, it was kino desu, especially since you could chose how the story went.
>>729641171america has tons of it, china is just willing to give every chinese citizen heavy metal poisoning to make a penny. but If they really stopped trading it, eventually they'd start sifting through the ground in NA for it too
>>729641234>>729641406>>729641883You guys always love to forget that south America especially in countries like Bolivia,Chile and Argentina have those colossal inhumane mines that dig mist of the shit up up just to end up later in your "precious" PC
>>729641531Spite, it’s just spite and vitriol.
Imagine having any faith in the regime that committed the Great Leap Forward/Cultural Revolution, the most murderous events in human history, less than 70 years ago. I understand not liking where the US/West are going but holy shit why would anyone want the CCP having any influence in the world.
