China halts 'rare earth' mineral shipments to Japan: NYT

MCP up 6.3% and counting

 

Who killed more Americans? Japanese or Chinese

 

Question: if US keeps pushing China on currency float, will they cut our rare earths to respond? MCP 8% and climbing.

 

How do we fight a war with China when everything is manufactured in china?

 

It will definitely take time to ramp up our manufacturing if we can't be supplied from China. But, if we ramp up our manufacturing to not need China as much, I guarantee we won't make the mistake of shipping all those kobs to them again.

 

We don't use rubber dogshit to fight so we should be ok.
