China is still exporting rare earth to other countries for genuine manufacturing needs other than making weapons but is controlling it to prevent countries reselling rare earth to the USA and its allies. There were countries that already did that before - South Korea and India, which resulted in the further controls being necessary.
It appears that the USA is realistically hampered by the lack of rare earth elements to make more weapons. That move of 20,000 defensive missiles from Ukraine to Israel during the war with Iran proves the point. Trump said earlier that he was not averse to sending Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine. Today he changed his decision. Is this move anything to do with the dire lack of rare earth elements? What transpired must have something to do with the inability to make more of such weapons, so Trump is papering it over by saying he does not want to escalate the war in Ukraine. It is a perfect excuse if you just look on the surface. Furthermore, Putin also said that the sending of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine will not change the outcome of the war.

Trump is threatening to invade Venezuela and Colombia, the former for its oil and the latter for its drug production domination. The modus operandi of the USA, now under Trump, is inventing an excuse, hyping it up and doing it all based on fabricated evidence. Give a dog a bad name and then skin it is what Trump is trying to do. While the world knows the drug demonization is, at best, just the imagination of a warped mind, Trump thinks he can just dictate his wishes on others to force them to come to support his actions. Drug smuggling anywhere else in the world does not end up with an invasion by a third country, an act of war, no less.
If that happens, we could see another Vietnam version 2. The USA will get bogged down inside the jungles of Venezuela and Colombia, just like in Vietnam. What is the appetite of the USA going for another war like in Vietnam? On the surface we just see and hear touted military weaknesses on the side of Venezuela and Colombia, the same as in Vietnam, compared to the military might of the USA. Now, however, there is the element of enough rare earth materials to make weapons for the job, unlike in Vietnam.
So, amidst the rhetorics of taking over Canada, Greenland, Mexico and Panama, is this another rehab of the same sick mind of Trump? Of course, Canada, Greenland Mexico and Panama do not carry the stigma of having the reasons for Trump to cook up an excuse to invade openly. The drug issue cooked up by Trump against Venezuela and Colombia is the flimsy excuse needed to carry out his' invasion', the same kind of fabricated evidence that started the Iraq War.
Savage Americans and their irresponsible primitive aggressive behaviour for wars, now wanting to invade Venezuela
