US and EU's supply chain war with Russia and China

I was puzzled when social media talked about China's dark factories. Those were actually factories completely run by robots and does not even need lights on for robots to work in the dark, producing 24 hours a day. And most amazingly, making rockets and missiles in those factories using robots 24 hours a day sounds terrifying. Maybe even robots making other military robots for war.

Trump gloated about producing patriot missiles for Ukraine. Wonder how he is going to do that without most of the raw materials controlled by China. China's control of rare earth elements for weapons is already helping Russia big time, no need for China to directly help Russia by supplying weapons. Maybe China is doing that via North Korea already, supplying all the essential materials to the North Koreans. There are always ways and means to get around a problem, the same as Russia getting around the oil sanctions imposed by the West. Does it work? Honestly it does work in reverse gear for the EU, having to pay through their noses for expensive energy and crippling its own manufacturing base. How stupid is that?
