when US-NATO keeps openly talking about a future confrontation with China, it will a good idea to permanently ban these heavy rare earths exports that are vital to advanced weapons.

yeah. however, historically, if you threaten a fascist with not being able to make an even bigger war in the future, they might just immediately go start the biggest war they possibly can right now....

see germany looking at the soviet union and realising they might not be able to take them if they wait and let it get stronger. see japan looking at how much oil they have left after the embargo, realising it's not a lot and doing a pearl harbor.

Looks like USA is doing its best to spread itself thin with Ukraine, Palestine, and Venezuela already. We can hope that war with China has already become impossible.
