THE CHIEF OF MORONS?
US DEF INDUSTRY IS SET TO BE PERMANENTLY CUT OFF FROM RARE EARTH MINERALS IT NEEDS TO MAKE MISSILES, F 35 JETS, VIRTUALLY EVERY HI TECH WEAPON AFTER TRUMP S TRADE WAR AGAINST CHINA BACKFIRES
PRODUCTION OF VITAL WEAPONS SET TO COME TO A HALT JUST AS US MISSILE STOCKS RUN OUT DUE TO THE DECISION TO PUT THE UKRAINE AND ISRAEL FIRST AND AMERICA SECOND
CHINA, BACKER OF IRAN, IS SET TO INCREASE PRODUCTION OF WEAPONS USING RARE EARTHS, CREATING AN ADVANTAGE
US AIRCRAFT CARRIERS, DESTROYERS, BASES COULD BE DEVASTATED AS THEY LACK MISSILES FOR AIR DEFENCE
ISRAEL ARMY MAY ALSO SET TO SUFFER A SHORTAGE OF MISSILES IF THEY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH STOCKS, PRODUCTION CAPACITY, RARE EARTH MINERALS
TRUMP S TRADE WAR WITH CHINA WAS BASED ON A GIGANTIC MISCALCULATION ABOUT CHINA S ECONOMY
EPSTEIN LINKED TRUMP IS NOW SET TO MAKE AN EVEN MORE FATAL MISCAUCULATION ABOUT THE OUTCOME OF WAR WITH IRAN
COVID JAB KILLERS TRUMP AND NETANYAHU SEEM TO BE BETTING ON WAR WITH IRAN TO DEFLECT FROM THE GROWING DEMAND TO PUT THEM AND GATES, FAUCI IN PRISON ALSO FROM THEIR ARMY
TRUMP IS NOT A LEGITIMATE COMMANDER IN CHIEF GIVEN THE WAY HE JOINED GATES, SOROS IN TREASON AGAINT THE US MILITARY AS PROVEN BY GREEK PROSECUTOR PROBES D 15 218 AND E 17 449
US MILIATY HAVE A DUTY TO OUST HIM AND HIS COTERIE OF CRONIES LIKE DAN CAINE AND PETE HEGSETH AND PUT AMERICA FIRST
America s military power and capacity to produce vital new missiles, fighters and other equipment has been significantly weakened, if not stopped altogether, by Trump s ongoing trade war with China, which is its main supplier of rare earth minerals to its defence industry.
China s exports of rare earth minerals are crucial to the US defense industry. They are needed to produce missiles like the Hellfire missile used by Israel to attack Iran as well as F16 and F 35 fighter jets.
But those exports were very restricted in April as part of China s responose to Trump s trade war, and there is no sign of the exports being resumed at any time in the near future.
US officials have revealed they want to extend existing tariffs on China beyond the 90-day deadline to August 10 agreed in Geneva a month ago.
This could lead to a collapse in production of vital US weapons just as Epstein linked Trump has given missiles to Israel to sttack Iran and is deploying aircraft carriers to the region.
Lacking missiles to defend themselves, US naval assets and bases could become an easy target for Iranian missiles.
Aside from the lack ofrare earth minerals, US and Israeli technology also seems outdated and unable to defend against Iran s hypersonic and ballistic missiles.
China has backed Iran in the conflict against Israel and may be willing to supply Iran with rare earth minerals to continue producting missiles as the conflict escalates/
“China in April imposed export restrictions on seven rare earth elements during the tough negotiations over Trump’s new tariffs. China also targeted the aerospace and defense industries by limiting 15 US entities with ties to the industry from receiving dual-use goods. “
A permanent cut off of rare earth minerals is especially dangerous at this time to US military power because the US military base as Pentagon stocks of vital missiles and weapons are already low due to a draw down by “allies” in the Ukraine and Israel as well as due to their high cost at a time when the USA is facing insolvency.

Lockheed Martin has said a cut off of samarium imports from China threatens its ability to keep making fighter jets.
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/business/china-rare-earth-samarium-fighter-jets.html
It uses 920pounds of rare earth minerals to make each F 35.

“In particular, China has a stranglehold on the production and export of samarium, a magnet used in combination with cobalt to provide highly durable magnets used to withstand the intense temperatures in military-grade tech. China produces the entire world’s supply of the rare-earth metal. “
In particular, the magnets are important for the production of guided missiles, satellite-guided “smart bombs”, and aircrafts, including fighter jets, according to Apex Magnets, a supplier.
Those supplies of weapons have been depleted through deliveries of missiles and other ordnance to Ukraine and to the Israeli military. Pentagon planners and other officials in the administration of Joe Biden, regularly squared off over whether foreign weapons deliveries expose a US vulnerability in case it faced off with a major military power.

The US only has enough missiles to fight China for one week.
Now media report China has signalled it will not resume exports of rare eath minerals to the USA for military purposes. In addition, media report that the trade war truce could be extended for another 90 days.
This could mean that the USA military contractors like Lockheed Martin run out of rare minerals just as demand for them increases due to a war with Iran.
US bases, fighters and aircraft carriers and destroyers will be much more vulnerable to attack and sinking if they do not have enough missiles for defence against air attacks.
The way Israel s Iron Dome, a state of the art missile shield equipped with Arrow 3 missiles, has been penetrated by Iranian missiles to cause devastation across Israel is worrying news for US aircraft carriers and destroyers.
The USS Nimitz and other naval assets have been sent to the Middle East from the China sea.
They may be especially vulnerable to being sunk by a hypersonic missiles if they are deployed to the Srait of Homuz whose narrow entrance reduces their ability to maneouvre.
If the USA militar y industrial base does run out of a capacity to produce enough missiles, jets, and soon, then it will spell a disaster also for US military assets around the world and leave the USA itself vulnerable to hypersonic missile attacks.
Selected targets may be the residence of deeply unpopular Trump who is now considered to be a tool of Epstein, Gates, who has tricked his way into office to carry out the oligarchs agenda and who, as such, has no authority to exercise the office of President or Commander in Chief.
The Greek prosecutor probes prove Trump, Kushner committed treason againt the US military by joining in a conspiracy to give the military covid jabs they knew to be toxic under censorship, disqualifying them from office.
US military are under no obligation to obey a corrupted Congress, Senate since many, if not most of the members, joined in the oligarchs criminal jab mandate scheme and so are also disqualified from office a priori.

Beyond green technology, rare earth elements also are essential for the fabrication of many high-profile weapon systems employed by the United States and by other western European countries.
Rare earth metals are used to make some very powerful magnets in weapon systems and flight control surfaces. Some precision-guided munitions, such as the Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) and the HELLFIRE missile (AGM-114), use samarium-cobalt or neodymium-iron-boron permanent magnets. These magnets drive the servo-motors in fins, and larger systems like the F-35 Lightning II use these magnets for articulating parts, like flaps or landing gear. Other devices used by the defense forces also employ rare earth-based magnets, such as radar and wireless microwave / GHz communications.

In addition to magnets, ceramics based on zirconia and containing yttrium (YSZ, yttria-stabilized zirconia) are used as thermal barrier coatings in various parts of the aircraft such as turbines and engines, to prevent overheating and catastrophic failure. Aside from this direct application by militaries, aerospace companies utilize yttrium-based ceramics for the investment casting of metal parts, such as integrally bladed rotors or “blisks.” Some laser target designators and/or interrogators, used in tanks for instance, employ yttrium-based garnets (e.g., yttrium-aluminum or yttrium-iron).
Rare Earth Elements Supply
The few examples reported above show that the importance of rare earth elements is not confined just to a specific field but involves many technological applications crucial for our society, and particularly defense. It is therefore essential to have a supply of these elements which is sufficient to match the increasing demand.
From this point of view, one problem is the distribution of rare earth metals throughout the world, and their consequent global production. According to a US geological Survey, 95 % of rare earth elements output is produced by China; this dominant position may cause problems and have political implications.
Two people briefed on the outcome of talks also revealed that the trade truce struck with China in London last week left a key area of export restrictions tied to national security unresolved, which could become a point of conflict that threatens a more comprehensive deal.
Beijing has not committed to grant export clearance for some specialized rare-earth magnets that US military suppliers need for fighter jets and missile systems, the people said.

That marked a new twist in trade talks that began with opioid trafficking, tariff rates and China’s trade surplus, but have since shifted to focus on export controls.
In addition, US officials also signalled they are looking to extend existing tariffs on China for a further 90 days beyond the August 10 deadline agreed in Geneva last month, both sources said, suggesting a more permanent trade deal between the world’s two largest economies is unlikely before then.
The two people who spoke to Reuters about the London talks requested not to be named because both sides have tightly controlled disclosure. The White House, State Department and Department of Commerce did not immediately respond to requests for comment. China’s Foreign and Commerce ministries did not respond to faxed requests for comment.
