You know that we can grow the industry in the US pretty trivially, right? And, again, other countries can and do produce it? You’re presenting this as some massive win, when it’s really just someone observing that we should fix that before it becomes a serious problem.
Alas, this isn’t a big deal and you’re going to have to look elsewhere for the defeat of the west. Sorry!
We actually produce gallium in the US already, the technology for refining it is well established, and you don’t actually mine it directly because it doesn’t really occur by itself - it’s commonly derived in bauxite, which is mined for it’s aluminum content, which I why I mentioned waste products form aluminum refinement, because that’s the most common source for industrial production. Also, other countries can do this, too
But, sure.
Plays stupid games, win stupid prizes as the saying goes.
Oh no, what will the US do? I mean, apart from producing it domestically or sourcing it from other counties because it’s not a particularly rare element and the refinement process uses waste from things like aluminum smelting.
Man, I’m so glad this global warming thing is leftist propaganda or I’d really be freaking out right now.
The embargo does not block food and medicine goods to Cuba from the United States, and other countries besides the US trade with Cuba (notably, China). But apart from that, great point.
They’ve had F-16s for years, producing most of them domestically (under license). Maybe some upgrades?
Turkey’s been developing their own “5th gen” fighter, and they do have a pretty decent domestic military industrial base, but they got barred from purchasing the F-35 in 2019 when they bought an S-400 system from Russia - I wonder if he wants those. It’d need some US congressional cooperation to make happen, though.
What US attack on Iran? Can you link to an article?
Edit: probably the killing of Qasem Soleimani in 2020
I love your desperation.
